Re: [refbase-talk] Making the "related" field publicly viewable

[Richard K. <kar...@gm...>]

This is a user-specific field. As such, it is far from a trivial change.

If you have a single user that writes to this field and want everyone to
see it, a crude hack would be to edit search.php  (lines ~1593-1602,
depending on version).  You would remove the login check and change the
call to buildRelatedRecordsLink to use the numeric id of that single user
rather than the $userID variable of the logged-in individual.  Note this
only effects display, not searching/editing/etc.

Because this is a fairly significant departure, these changes would be
minimally supported & you'd have to re-patch when upgrading.
