Manage Users - search

[kastnerd]

On the manager Users page, The search fields are very picky, If the user name is Peter, pete wont work. If the company is Black Water, Black wont find them.

Any way to change this?

[AbleMods]

Use a wildcard asterisk after the Pete like "Pete*" to find them.

Can I add company name to this display list on the search page?

Yep its simple to add company name to list. Just edit the Website/admin/people/default.aspx and locate following code block

Code: Select all

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="A.LastName">
                        <HeaderStyle horizontalalign="Left" />
                        <ItemStyle horizontalalign="Left" />
                        <ItemTemplate>
                            <asp:Label ID="FullNameLabel" runat="server" Text='<%#GetFullName(Container.DataItem)%>'></asp:Label>
                        </ItemTemplate>
                    </asp:TemplateField>

and replace it with this one

Code: Select all

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="A.LastName">
                        <HeaderStyle horizontalalign="Left" />
                        <ItemStyle horizontalalign="Left" />
                        <ItemTemplate>
                            <asp:Label ID="FullNameLabel" runat="server" Text='<%#GetFullName(Container.DataItem)%>'></asp:Label>
                        </ItemTemplate>
                    </asp:TemplateField>
                    <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Company" SortExpression="A.Company">
                        <HeaderStyle horizontalalign="Left" />
                        <ItemStyle horizontalalign="Left" />
                        <ItemTemplate>
                            <asp:Label ID="CompanyNameLabel" runat="server" Text='<%#GetCompanyName(Container.DataItem)%>'></asp:Label>
                        </ItemTemplate>
                    </asp:TemplateField>

and finally add following method to its code file next to GetFullName method

Code: Select all

protected string GetCompanyName(object dataItem)
    {
        User user = (User)dataItem;
        Address address = user.PrimaryAddress;
        if (address != null)
        {
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(address.Company))
                return address.Company;
        }
        return string.Empty;
    }

Thanks I did it on both admin/orders/create/createorders1.asp and admin/people/users/default.asp worked good.
