Overview

The code for importing duplicates offers the option to 'skip' or 'ignore' duplicate contact handling

image

The help text is messed up for this - but the screen & code imply the expectation is

  1. if skip is selected & the contact already has a registration for that event then skip as a duplicate
  2. if ignore is selected the contact gets a second duplicate.

However, the code doesn't actually do this
image

Before

The code that kicks in for "skip" relies on
if (is_array($newParticipant) && civicrm_error($newParticipant)) {

  • However, this is only ever true if $newParticipant is set in the isIgnoreDuplicates() if clause. Conversely if isIgnoreDuplicates is true the code never attempts to import the contact

After

I concluded the if that looks up the existing registrations was mistakenly set to isIgnoreDuplicates() and should have been isSkipDuplicates()

Technical Details

I didn't do additional clean up to not add further confusion but the whole error routine is batshit
