Deleted users appear in search results
When searching users to select which accounts to merge deleted users appear:
In this screenshot we see user 99, a normal user, user 100 which has been deleted, and user 101 which has been suspended.
If there is a use-case for merging with deleted accounts the search results should indicate this, similar to how suspended accounts are greyed. The current appearance is confusing unless the site admin is familiar with the changes Moodle makes to mdl_user.username and mdl_user.email when deleting a user.
If there is no use-case for merging with deleted accounts then deleted users should be excluded from the search results.
Thanks for the reporting @leonstr .
This is unitentional. Deleted users should not be listed. Any of the other users must be listed. Imagine you merge 2 users in the inverse order. So, proceeding with the inverse merging operation should leave things as they should initially. So, for this reason, only suspended and non suspended users must be listed.
If you believe you can report a patch to solve this, it would be easier and quicker to get solved. Otherwise, we get it recorded to address it when we have availability.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Jordi
@jpahullo The commit for the PR to fix #275 is built upon the commit to fix this issue as 1) they're directly related, and 2) they both touch the same code. I hope these two changes are not confusing!
Ok about your above comment. Thanks a lot for working on it!
Please, close the PR that finally is not useful by now by your own, so I finally do not get confused in the future.
Let me know analyse the PR #276 then.
Thanks again.
