Impossible to change address of a contact in Version 2.x
« on: October 26, 2014, 10:23:38 am »
In the Change Mode of a contact you may change the stinking avatar, but simple essential address fields of a contact like city and street are missing.
You can't change the address unless you change it in fo_contacts (og_contacts) using database tools.

Poor.

In Version 1.7.5 you couldn't change a persons e-mail,  if this e-mail address was already in the database elsewhere. Simple Developer thinking fault.
This happens often, e.g. a company and a person have same emal address.

You had to use database tools as well (I use Navicat premium, but phpmyadmin would do the job).
In Version 2.x there is no more chance at all to change an existing  persons address.
You are forced to use a backdoor.

Very Poor.

Hope you get this finally fixed. Not everybody is able to use mysql backdoors to get changes done.

Thx.

Hi there,

Have you seen the changes implemented into the 2.7.1 version onwards in the contact edition form?
Concerning the constraints of not having the possibility to have the same email address for different people, that is not so normal.. truth be told so far none of our clients complained about this.
If it is a shared address like support@somewhere.com they just add it as "Support at Somewhere"
If it is john@somewhere.com.. it is John from Somewhere.. not Jane.
Then, one of the problems (among others) I see about having the same email address for different contacts is that lets say you have marketing@somewhere.com and this is for Mike and also for Susanne. Ok, so, when you decide to give them access to the system.. who will be accessing it? Mike? Or Susanne? Hard to tell if they have the same email address right?

Best,
Francisco
