Another question about this topic:
What are your general experiences with Spectra User Profiles for your
customer projects?
While I like the flexibility of the UserProfile being a "contentobject",
i.e. a flexible
structure, my customers are often somehow disappointed about the
"out-of-the-box" reporting
possibilities. If they want to search for "all registered users from
Frankfurt", I have to
tell them that this is no problem, but I need to code "a little" to make it
happen.
With "the userprofiles" being the core asset of most sites (maybe except
from company
intranets collecting user data is almost the one-and-only reason why someone
seems
to run a site ;-), a little more support from the framework would be nice.
Maybe even another TABLE (like PROPERTIES or all the REPORT-Tables) where
the UserProfiles can
be redundanly stored in a "relational way" to make reporting easier later
on.
>From my point of view the Spectra UserProfile is like it is in the moment
for more "historical"
reasons: in the beginning Allaire was always poining out the
"P3P"-compliantcy and flexibility,
but I assume most of us had their little fights with these HUGE amounts of
data being read and
written to the DB when working with it (PERFORMANCE, SEARCHABILITY,
REPORTIBILITY, ...)
Just my 2 cents,

Betreff: Searchable User Profiles
In Spectra 1.5, are the basic properties in User Profiles searchable?
Previously because it was a system object one couldn't mark properties ie
Employer as searchable. Makes it a PITA to find people.
