The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Markus Schoeb <address@concealed>]

When dynamically reading Owners or Editors with the "owner_include" or
"editor_include" option and an "include_sql_query" from an external
database, the names of the Owners and Editors in WWWSyma show only the part
of their email addresses before the "@"-sign. E.g. editor
"address@concealed" gets shown as "brad.pitt".

While this might work with certain names, in many cases the names might be
ambiguous without the domain-name, or in the case of cryptic email
addresses, the names displayed don't make any sense at all. E.g. editor
"address@concealed" shows "goofy123".

Is there a way to not only fetch the email addresses of owners and editors,
but also their real names? And having them displayed in WWWSympa?


A similar problem applies to Subscribers fetched dynamically with the
"user_data_source include2" and an "include_sql_query", where the REVIEW
command (be it in WWWSympa or via the email command interface) in many cases
does not provide useful information, because it just delivers
email-addresses and no real names.


If there is no existing solution, this might be a feature request:
Allow 2 return fields for Owners, Editors and Subscribers in SQL-queries:
        - email-address, and
        - real name.


Thanks for any hints.

Best wishes,
Markus
