Hi I have this scenario and wonder if anyone can help.

I have 2 different membership types (A + B), I'm am already a member of A but would like to become a member of B.

So I go to my CiviContribute form and sign up as a member of B using the SAME email address as I am using for my membership of A.

Result = new contact record, member of B but duplicate email address of contact who is member of A.

However if from the civiCRM admin menu I add a new individual and enter the same email address I get 'Please correct the following errors in the form fields below: 2 matching contacts were found. You can edit them here:'

In my Weight Threshold to Consider Contacts 'Matching':, I have the same for fuzzy and strict e.g. email weight = 10: Weight Threshold to Consider Contacts 'Matching' = 10.

Is this a bug or does civicontribute/civimember not check the Weight Threshold to Consider Contacts 'Matching' rules?

Thanks

Modify CRM/Contribute/Form/Contribution/Confirm.php
Add below code on line no 406 (just before dedupe check)

$params["email"].  = $params["email-Primary"]

I think this should be:
$params["email"] = $params["email-Primary"]
- which works: dupe checking is carried out and the membership signup is related to an existing matching contact if one is found - thanks!

I've filed an issue: issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-4237

Cheers,
