Of course, there is handling that detects this, so you can choose to either edit the original record (i.e. throw away the duplicate) or create a duplicate record. However, it shouldn't get to that point by clicking on the Save button. That handling seems to be there to handle cases where you go through the whole process of trying to add a new patron only to find out that they already exist in the system (or at least their username/password do). -- This patch uses the "preventDoubleFormSubmit" function (which is also used in holds and fines to prevent double form submits). It was also necessary to edit members.js, since "check_form_borrowers" was forcing form submits despite the "preventDoubleFormSubmit" function. I've changed it from forcing a document.form.submit to return true, which the browser will still submit the form if it's a unique borrower, but the "preventDoubleFormSubmit" function will still prevent multiple submits. I've also added a "waiting" class to staff-global.js which changes the cursor to "wait" (i.e. loading circle graphic). I've included an "AddClass" call in "preventDoubleFormSubmit", so that the cursor graphic will change to show users that the page is loading so that they don't click Save again. Of course, even if they do click save again, there will only be one submit. However, this way - as Chris Cormack mentioned - the user knows that "something" is happening and that the form isn't broken. ------- Test Plan Before applying patch... 1) Fill out the form for a new patron in the Patron module 2) Click "Save" several times 3) Once the page loads, you'll be shown a prompt that says that this borrower already exists. You will have the option to view the original record, edit the original record, or create a new patron anyway 4) Click on edit the existing record, and delete the patron Apply the patch 5) Repeat steps 1 and 2 6) Notice that your cursor has changed into a little "loading" circle graphic when you hover over the "body" of the page, as well as any links or any inputs/buttons of the type "submit" within that form 7) Notice that no matter how many times you press the button, the form is not re-submitted. Eventually you will be taken to the new patron's record (no mention of duplication will occur) Ta da! Multiple form submits are prevented and the loading graphic signals to users that the form was submitted and that Koha is processing their data -- I understand that some people might want to change which elements are given the "waiting" class. I'm happy to renegotiate this as necessary. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
