Re: [Web-erp-developers] User Settings

Not crazy about the footer.  I've put the user settings (preferences) up =
at the top along with the "system" functions menu, help and logout.  =
This also leaves more room for further fast access links.  What do you =
think?... http://weberp.gocom.ca/weberpcvstest.

  Great!

  Maybe this preferences could be displayed as a small link on every =
page by having it in the footer? I hate the idea of a whole new module =
just for user preferences with no other options.

    Ok, it has a user setting for theme.  I was too lazy right now to =
make a combo box and load into it the theme names so you have to type =
the theme name: professional or default.  I'll do that later.  It does =
not take effect the very next page load though, it takes affect the =
second time you load a page.  I believe it's because the theme is =
already loaded by the time it gets changed on the page reload.  Not sure =
if there's a way to force a reload of the css. =20

    It may be the case that some who cache do not get the new theme =
until logging out and back in.

        I have added user settings to my copy at =
http://weberp.gocom.ca/weberpcvstest.  The last menu option is Settings =
which is the current user's settings that they can modify.  There are =
only two settings right now: Number of Records to Display =
($DisplayRecordsMax) and Enable Javascript ($EnableJavascript).

        To see, try going to Select Customer then type in "a" to search =
for all records with an "a".  It will page according to the user's =
current settings.  Now, go into Settings > User Settings and modify =
Number of Records to Display.  Go back to Select Customer and search on =
"a" again.  Notice the paging has changed to what you changed.

        We now have an area for users to "customize" their environment.  =
Adding more user settings is easy.  This is assuming that Phil and =
others want it in the cvs...

        The settings get set in session.inc by using a $_SESSION =
variable.  In this way the settings are always handy.  When the user =
changes their settings they are updated in both database and session =
variable so it is on-the-fly changed.
