Re: [Ruqueue-devel] bulk add users?

[John Fulton]

Based on what you said, I think I know what the issue is.  The "add by
last name" uses the iid in the URL.  So if you mouse over the "click
here", you should see something like:

add_user.php?iid=

such that the iid is empty, and thus when it gets to the next page
there is no iid in the URL and the lookup is unable to move forward
since it has nothing to do the search on.  I recommend modifying the
add_user.php script to use the uid instead of the iid.  This shouldnt'
be too hard.  Look for the "if ((empty($iid)) || (!(empty($id)))) {"
in the code below (near the end):

http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/ruqueue/ruqueue/web-interface/add_user.php?rev=1.2&root=ruqueue&view=markup

If you modify this to use the uid instead and then modify the code
that does the LDAP search to use the uid as well, you should be done
with modifying add_user.php.  Then you just need to modify
lookup_name.php to display the uid instead of the iid when you hover
the mouse over the "click here".  You might as well change the IID in
the table above to UID too.

Thanks for helping me understand what your issue was.  Since the IID
is a Rutgers thing (yet another unique identifier) this change could
probably be made to ruQueue to make it more general in the LDAP sense.
It also shouldn't break how it works in theory since it just needs a
uniqe identifier to search on.
