Re: Fwd: Partner firstname

 

Hello,

Just few though.

About localization. I don't think we should be tied to it. After all in a
country not every one comes from the same country.
And you could even have someone ordering you something on your new e-shop
(OpenERP or else ;-] ) ordering from outside of your country.

What are needed in openerp is a name to put on an adress for correspondence
and delivery to be read by the post office.
And a name to address to the partner as 'Dear XXXX'.

The tricky parts comes from connector with other applications (ie. magento
with firstname lastname) when name is separated in an other way.

Maybe the proper way should be a google contact like o2n relation on a name
object with.

 - the name
 - a type (firstname, lastname, previous name, middle name, latin
transcription, company name? pseudonyme and so on)

Plus on other object or option to say which type of name should be used in
which order (I think this should be configurable too)
(twice the option once for delivery to construct a fullname and once for
addressing to the partner)


This would allow to define as well a firstname lastname split with birth
name registred as it could simply be a fullname

About sync with other application it should be the work of the connector to
match to the right type. Having things separated makes it easier.

Now the really hard part is to ensure everywhere we write a name in
openerp, the name is correctly splitted. For exemple when you create a user.
The simple way might be to make all needed create use a fullname type when
it comes for exemple from a mail in CRM and make sure that on user type all
views are changed to show a input for partner names.

Otherwise we might need the following modules:

partner_firstname
partner_middlename
partner_birthname
partner_companyname
and so on


Cheers,
