Hi.

Don't knof if this is the right forum to post suggestions - but just move it if not.

I have been using Snitz for some time, and I'm using a lot of energy every time I need a new field in the member details. E.g. complete address and phonenumber or membernumber or something.

Sometime in the future I would like if the member information was rewritten to dynamic fields, where the administrator would be able to create new fields: Something like this:

Field Name
Field Description
Field Type (string, number, mail, yes/no, check, radio etc)

and then a lot of control about where and how to show it:
On Profile: [Show/Hide], [Userselected Show/Hide]
On Register (same as above) + [Mandatory/Optional]
On Edit: (same as above) + ReadOnly, Edit by admin only.

There are possible other usefull options, but every time I add a new field I have to write code to handle the above.

I suppose this could be done in the same way that the CONFIG_NEW table is configured... would make a nice mod.

I don't knink it would be very easy to make as a mod. There are too many lines of code that uses the MEMBER table. It would take a complete rewrite of the "kernel". :-(

you're right now that I think about it....

but most information retrieved from the members table is done through functions and sub-routines, not specifically as per each time information is needed from the table.

But still, would take alot of re-writing...

It would however, be possible to create a new table (as a modification) in the same format as the CONFIG_NEW table, and configure optional member detail information in that, which would be viewable via the member profile only...
