[Envolution-devel] NS-NewUser

[Arden W. <ar...@li...>]

I would like to know if anyone else does not like the default fields for
user sign up.  I even see them mapped out the same way here
http://mikespub.net/xaraya/index.php?module=roles&func=register&phase=registerform

Now from a professional sense I have absolutely no *&(*&^% use
whatsoever for an aol, msnm, a one line location field or otherwise. 
Now take those to a client and they chuckle.

One of these days I'm hoping we see some changes to these fields to
something more standardized toward a business model.  Then to add other
fields with dynamic data makes more sense.

Even this as well done as it is does not make much business sense.

Scattered throughout the forums are people unhappy with the fields and
always wanting to change them.  I submit to you that if they were more
normalized at the outset that there would be less problems.  Why should
a user suddenly after a month of using his system have to try and hack
dynamic data?

It would be very simple to change these fields in the install routine. 
I don't know what other modules reference the data structure other than
NS-NewUser, NS-User and perhaps the messaging system.
