Not force an email for users at login

Hi I put openCATS 0.8.0 on production recently. One request of my users are that they dont want to receive notifications emails every time a candidate apply to a joborder. That because we have open jobs to get the most posibles candidates each day to maintain a cataloged list.. anyway

the first thing I did was left blank the email field on the user profile but...
BUT when they login the system ask for a email to proceed.

Well no big deal because if I write down the url to openCATS we can go directly and authenticated to the system, BUT I dont want to do this every time I log in

so thi is the solution:

Goto /modules/login

open LoginUI.php

around the line 345 you may read somethig like this:

Code: Select all

        /* If no E-Mail set for current user, make user set E-Mail address. */
        else if (trim($_SESSION['CATS']->getEmail()) == '')
        {
            CATSUtility::transferRelativeURI('m=settings&a=forceEmail');
        }

Comment it:

Code: Select all

        /* If no E-Mail set for current user, make user set E-Mail address. */
        /*else if (trim($_SESSION['CATS']->getEmail()) == '')
        {
            CATSUtility::transferRelativeURI('m=settings&a=forceEmail');
        }*/

and thats all! problem solved

Ordered Saved Lists

Other issue I have on openCATS 080 is the saved list order. Everi time a use the dropdown list or have to cataloge an user the list load unsorted. Well this is the solution to this issue... Yes issue because my users said: "is hard to select an iten on the list". They are humans... they want all lists ordered eh! hehe


ok this is the solution:

go to: /lib
open the file: SavedLists.php

go to the dunction named: getAll

looks like:

Code: Select all

    public function getAll($dataItemType = -1)
    {
        if ($dataItemType != -1)
        {
            $typeCriterion = sprintf(
                'AND data_item_type = %s', 
                $this->_db->makeQueryInteger($dataItemType)
            );
        }
        else
        {
            $typeCriterion = '';
        }

        $sql = sprintf(
            "SELECT
                saved_list_id AS savedListID,
                description AS description
            FROM
                saved_list
            WHERE
                site_id = %s
            %s",
            $this->_siteID,
            $typeCriterion
        );

        return $this->_db->getAllAssoc($sql);
    }

Change the first if statement to this:

Code: Select all

        if ($dataItemType != -1)
        {
            $typeCriterion = sprintf(
                'AND data_item_type = %s ORDER by description ASC',
                $this->_db->makeQueryInteger($dataItemType)
            );
        }

Thats all. I only add this SQL command: ORDER by description ASC

Thanks for sharing that tip - note that this also works to ensure that the most recent activities appear at the top for candidates and contacts - if you do the same in /lib/activityentries.php
