#126 User/Group manager when above the 200 user mark
Hi All,
I recently merged two of my sites together which
apparentley tripped off a magic marker in Xoops where
group membership management is handled differently.
For those of you who were like I was and didn't know
anything about it, this is what I'm talking about;
Before merge (approx 140 users)

After merge (approx 300 users)

I think that using "find users" feature to select and add
users to groups is great, except as it is now I am unable
to check who is NOT a member of a particular group.
This is just as important as being able to see who is a
member of a group, and not being able to do this is in
my view a pretty serious problem. Perfect example is
that during the merger of my sites, none of the group
membership data was brought across from the second
database, which left me with close to 100 users that
were not a member of any group (and were getting a
nasty white page when they logged in) and no way of
telling from the Xoops admin who these users are. A
very ugly position to be in.
Anyway, I think using the "find users" feature for group
membership management would be great if;
1) You could select a filter based on who is, and who
isn't a member of an existing group. This way the pickle
I was in would be avoided.
2) Once you have done a search, you can change the
sort order of your results without loosing your filter
setings. Mith did this with the "Manage Articles" section
of AMS, and it really is a VERY useful feature.
3) When browsing between pages of your search
results, have it so that it remembers which users you've
selected until you select what function you want to do.
These ideas are just my 2 cents, but I think if this
functionality was added it would really enhance the
usefulness of the group membership management in
Xoops once this magic marker is met. I will be of course
very happy to work with anyone to try and help bring
this request to reality should it be deemed worth looking
into.
Cheers,
Brash
