Feature: Quick entry for association name in PersonEditDialog

Open cubitusgh opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Based on forum entry: http://forum.nmichael.de/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=924

Notice: this feature is usable only when the following options are activated:

  • efaDirekt_mitgliederDuerfenNamenHinzufuegen/AllowMembersAddNames
  • postfixPersonsWithClubName/ PostfixPersonsWithClubName (Anzeige Vereinsnamen in Personenliste)

If you start a session and enter a new persons name, efa allows you to add a new person, when you press the red button next to the crew members' name.

Efa fills in the corresponding fields, if you entered the name correctly:

  • Lastname, Firstname (Nameaddon) respectively
  • Firstname Lastname (Nameaddon)

The request is: if you add the association's name in square brackets, that

  • the association name is put into the according field of the record
  • the association name field is visible in the "new person" dialog and can be edited

The square brackets are chosen as a pattern, as efa already shows the persons' association in square brackets, when the lookup list is opened (as long as the option postfixPersonsWithClubName is enabled). So the user is generally tempted to enter his association's name in that same way.

So the correct pattern for entering such a name should be

  • Lastname, Firstname (Nameaddon) [NameOfAssociation] respectively
  • Firstname Lastname (Nameaddon) [NameOfAssociation]
