There are at least 2 wrong behaviors if the AnonymousPatron pref is not
defined (0 or empty string).
1/ If you use the clean borrower tools, you will get a successful
message when the nothing happened (the history has not been anonymised).
2/ At the OPAC, if a patron ask for delete his reading history, he will
get an error message "The deletion of your reading history failed,
because there is a problem with the configuration of this feature.
Please help to fix the system by informing your libr ary of this
error". IMO this should not happen, the history should be anonymised.
With this patch, the old_issues.borrowernumber field will be set to NULL
if the AnonymousPatron pref if not defined.
Test plan:
1/ Fill the pref with "" or 0
2/ At the OPAC, go on the privacy tab and click on the "Immedia deletion" button.
You should get a green and friendly message. Confirm that the history
has been anonymised.
3/ Use the "Batch patron anonymization" tools (tools/cleanborrowers.pl)
to anonymize the checkout history.
Confirm that a) it works and b) you get a message.
Try again with AnonymousPatron set to a valid patron. You should not see
any changes with the current behaviors.
NOTE: This patch tweaks C4/Circulation.pm and provides tests.
applying just this, and running prove success. Reverting just
C4/Circulation.pm fails, as expected.
Tested OPAC stuff with both patches applied.
