Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] fallout user mod feature request

[Verdon V. <ve...@ve...>]

Small thing (and just thinking out loud... if you are going to go ahead  
with this, try to keep labels such as State, Zip Code. Etc fairly  
neutral; i.e. State/Province, Zip/Postal Code, Etc. It might be better  
if some of them were configurable in some manner as some people might  
require state/province/county.

In the meantime, back to my original question...

Although I wholeheartedly endorse your concept of a demographics mod, I  
think the needs of my envisioned rolodex mod might preclude me from  
using it. Maybe not, I'll just kind of think out loud again...

A typical use of my current phpwsbusiness mod is a site I have done for  
a local Chamber of Commerce. There are appx 900 records. About 200 of  
these records are 'owned' by phpws users and they maintain them  
themselves. The remaining 700 records are 'owned' by the phpws admin  
user and are maintained by Chamber staff. It is easy to transfer  
ownership of records from one phpws user to another. New phpws users  
registering at the site fill out their phpwsbusiness record after their  
username/email has been accepted.

Now that I'm re-writing my mod, I can rethink how I'm handling this...

1) I can continue to do what I have been doing. I can reproduce this  
behaviour in fallout easily enough, but still leaves me with the  
original feature request**

2) If there was a central demographic module (with all the benefits  
that would go with that) I could change the behaviour of my mod so that  
a unique user account was required for each rolodex record, even if  
this mean creating a 'fake' user account for the 700 or so Chamber  
members who never go online :)

** Just a quick refresher on the original feature request...
Would it be a good idea to be able to add a file called  
/mod/mymod/conf/user_reg.php that would contain function(s) to run  
after a successful user signup

Cheers,
verdon
