Topic: No User Number anymore???

Hello!
Can't find any hints for this in the "Whats New" area,
but there seems to be no "user number" anymore in 4.70.
Still in the database but not shown in the form of a users profile.
The line in the source code of "pages/users.php" ist commented out.

// echo "<tr><td>{$ax['usr_number']}:</td><td><input type='text' name='usrNr' size='30' value='{$user['usrNr']}'></td></tr>\n";

Bug or feature?

Re: No User Number anymore???

Hi Stefan,

You are right. Neither bug nor feature wink
In LuxCal version 4.6 we introduced a user number, which could be specified when creating/editing a user account.
This user number however, was used nowhere and our plans to use it changed.

So in LuxCal version 4.7 we removed it again, because just entering a number which is never used does not make much sense.
I commented out the code to enter the number and left it, just in case we would need it later for the future "participation feature.

Re: No User Number anymore???

Okay,

I have to say, that I was using this field in some other way, because I would like to have the possibility to store the real name of the user. So I changed label to "Lastname, Firstname" and entered the names in that way.
Do you ever thought of fields for storing the real name?
