Adjustable Custom User List column widths
closed
Ciaira Castorena
The Custom User List macro should have settings to configure the width of different columns. Depending on the field types that are included in the list, some columns end up dominating the horizontal space which crowds out other information.
Example: We have a field for "Personal Intro", which is a Multiline Text field. If this field is included in a Custom User List macro, it takes up roughly 75% of the width of the table/list, which makes the other fields such as User or Location (Text Input fields) become doubled up and crowded.
This could also be solved if the presets for the table were more intelligent, e.g. change the code for the macro so that it doesn't assign such a large percentage of space to Multiline Text fields.

As you can see, I have closed this issue. Not because the request is not reasonable, and not because it didn't gather enough interest, but because we solved the problem otherwise by introducing another macro. With the latest releases of Linchpin User Profiles, Linchpin Intranet Suite and Linchpin Essentials, there is now the new macro "People Search & List" that is based off of the people directory and doesn't have the problem described in this canny ticket.
The old macros Custom User List and Custom User Search have been marked as deprecated. They still work for the time being, to give you time to switch over to the new macro. But at some point in the future they will be deactivated.
That being so, we won't implement any improvements in the old macros anymore. Rather we'd like you to try out the new macro :) And if there's someting to be improved in the new one, please let us know.
