Bug ID: 42936
Summary: Display cardnumber under item status if no name is
given
Initiative type: ---
Sponsorship ---
status:
Product: Koha
Version: Main
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Patrons
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
To reproduce:
- HidePatronName = Show
- Remove "surname" from BorrowerMandatoryField
- Add a patron without any name information, but with a cardnumber
- Find an item and issue it to the patron without a name
- Find the detail page for the record that the issued item belongs to
In the "Status" column, it will say something like "Checked out to A patron
from Centerville: due 07/04/2026". It should give the cardnumber as a patron
identifier, and the cardnumber should have a link to the patron detail page.
This might sound a bit far fetched, but we do have a library that wants to
store no name information in Koha, and only use the cardnumber to identify
patrons. And Koha does allow patrons with no name information, so we should do
our best to display useful information in this situation.
The library in question says Koha used to show the cardnumber before the
upgrade to 25.05, but the code responsible for displaying the patron
information has moved around a bit, so I have not been able to pin point when
the regression occured.
As far as I can tell, the problematic code is this, which is in
js-patron-format.inc in 25.05.x and in patron-format.js in main:
if (name.replace(" ", "").length == 0) {
if (patron.library) {
return _("A patron from %s").format(patron.library.name);
} else {
return _("A patron from another library");
}
}
It makes the library name or "another library" display if there are no spaces
in "name", but the reason there is no spaces in "name" could be that there is
no name information to display.
