Customer email not unique?

[pberce]

I've been adapting Prestashop, in the process I've noticed that the system allows two people to have the same email address in certain situations.

 

Customer A registers with email [email protected] (this works as expected)

 

Customer B tries to register with email [email protected] - (error - this email already exists)

 

Customer B registers with [email protected] (this works as expected)

 

Customer B logs in, goes to "My personal info" section and changes email to [email protected] (Prestashop allows this - VERY BAD)

 

I've also noticed that the customer_email field in the mysql customer table is listed as a non-unique Index. Shouldn't this be unique?

I have noticed that in the Back Office > Customers > Add New that you can add a new customer and use an email address that already exists in the system.

 

So I wonder if these are bugs or designed this way on purpose?

I posted bug report here:

jsherk,

 

Thanks for the reply. I think this is a flaw, ie they didn't design it well. I do not think this is a bug. Thank you for posting that to the issue tracker.

Anyone found a solution to prevent duplicate emails when adding customer that already exists from backoffice?

Thanks
