#365 add dropdown with users
Hello there!
I tested Notes a few minutes ago! In my opionion its a good and powerful module!
However, if you start to write a new note it is not possible to choose from all users who are registered in the system.
Would it be possible to add a drop down menu or something like that where you see all users maybe with a small description or an avatar

hmm I'm not sure about that. If you have 2000 users, that list can get mighty long. Let me look into Notes and I'll come back with some ideas.

Well, you are right! Haven't thought about that!
However I think it is necessary to add such a function because no one knows all the users names especially if there are 2000!
I saw Renes notes at kiesler.at! If you are logged in you have Notes in the CP. He has a small link next to the "To:" - form (Show Users) and you are inked to a site where all the users are listed orderd by letters!
If you click one the Users name is automatically filled into the form!
He also has a list of send notes!
Ok I know he is using not the 1.0 version but i think theese features of notes should be available in the 1.0 of phpWS

A kind of buddy list would be fine. Each user can add friends from the module users individually.

Not sure this looks a little old, but I will add my 2cents. Some way of picking from the userlist is needed. Notes is a great feature but general users do not have accessto alist of other users. I would like at least to be able to have a list maybe from certain groups be able to be pulled up. That way when I have to post say talk to so and so about this up coming even I can just point them to the notes module and save possible putting out an email address that will be a spam target then.

Was doing some more research with the notes module.
Discovered the define('NOTE_ALLOW_USERNAME_SEARCH', true); item in the config file. Was curious how this worked so I tested it. It pulls up a search box with the possble matches in it. Now why couldn't the seach box be called automatically. Add another config element to either display the search box by default or only when a partial match is found. If displayed by default then it will just pull up all users in alpha order. You may also want to have a max user config element so that you could limit how many users it pulls up with a more users added on the end to display the next set of n users.

In 0.x there was a separate A-Z list rather than a pulldown. I agree that a pulldown would be impractical with large numbers of users.
I would actually go with an AJAX search today but an A-Z list like the old Notes would also be useful.
