Empty role descriptions

In version 2.7.0.2 MSSQL when I create a new child site the database table "mp_Roles" creates empty an empty "DisplayName" field for each of the roles that are auto-created. I always have to go into the database and manually copy in the names so they show up in the drop-dowm menu when editing user roles.This happens for me on multiple installs and started last version I think it was.

Re: Empty role descriptions

Hey Eric,

Actually, looking closer with this, the DisplayName column has been on that table for a long time. All we did in 2.7.0.2 is allow setting the display name on creation of a role and changing display name on updating a role. The way it used to work was it just used the same value for DisplayName and RoleName. So, the column has been there for as long as I can remember and the only db changes we made to use the column was to actually pull it back and not just pull the RoleName back for the DisplayName column (why that was done in the first place, I don't know).

You're only seeing this problem when adding child sites, right? You haven't had it on new root sites all, correct?

Thanks,
Joe

Hi Eric,

If you pull and build from newer code in the repo, this problem was fixed in January. (https://github.com/i7MEDIA/mojoportal/commit/1db87e4c45cc2ede1b5657bc8808da24774f2fbb#diff-d89b30b59831eb3895a4014c2c8bff24)

Thanks,
Joe
