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. http://www.suteralaut.com/user.php?op=register&module=NS-NewUser 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. |
