Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Why unique constraints should be treated with care

Posted by Malte Sussdorff on
A lot of discussion has been going on on the OCT mailing list. I would like Dave and Don to comment here as well, the main point is:

- Overwrite in your custom package the party::get_id_by_email function as you obviously do with the altering of the table.

As we can do this in general I will not bother further (aka write a TIP) as the feeling from the OCT is at the moment that it is opposed to the idea.

OTOH as this is a required feature by many (as it seems), maybe we should write a package called "zz-email-not-unique" so others can install it to work around the custom behaviour in OpenACS.
