Suggestion: Contact Tel

[silktech]

something that was necessary for me was a contact phone number for ads of not registered users.
for registered users the phone number is supposed to appear in the right sidebar (although i think it doesn't work - osc_user_phone() returns nothing)
so i added a field s_contact_tel in `oc_t_item`table that i handle in the same way the contact_name is handled, which means that if the user is registered i use his mobile or land phone.
may be other people find the same feature useful, because many sellers work mainly using their phone number, and you might think integrating something like this in a future version.
( i changed many files and i think i 'll lose future compatibility)

Hi Silktech,


I think you didn't lose compatibility, the problem will be the next update, which will revert back your changes and you will have to do them again (but the data in the database will persists).

Besides that, one of the main features for the next version are custom fields in items, so you could add a custom field "phone number". Once we release the next version, (2.2), please contact me, so I could help you upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2 and not losing your already changes, so after that you could upgrade as usual to future versions (2.3, 2.4 ,...).


Thanks!!
