Functional question about:
+If PatronSelfRegistrationUseridGenerationMethod is set to 'email', the email +address will be used as the userid. If the patron being created has no email, +or the patron has an email address that is already in use by another patron, +the default way of creating the userid ($firstname.$surname) will be used.
Is that really what you want? If my email address is already in the database, I probably dont want another account. One of the issues we face is actually that impatient people register 2 or 3 accounts.
We see this for families where the email address of the parents is used in the children's accounts as well. Also sometimes for internal accounts where a library address might be used several times. Some academic libraries also do separate accounts for 'permanent loans'. Maybe display a warning or so instead of not allowing it? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
