Hi,
it's not customized globally in the current pull request? I was expecting
this to be an admin-only feature that would then apply to all users. This
is the feature that I see requested by users.
Being able to customize one's view of the user directory isn't asked for
that much. It might actually annoy admins, who expect the user directory to
display a given set of columns and then have to troubleshoot their users.
Last but not least, the current interface isn't simple enough for someone
non-technical to use.
Thus I'd rather make this feature admin-only and make it apply globally.
WDYT?

I've created a new jira issue http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-1137(which IMO is
even more needed than XE-1137 but that's a personal opinion
;)).
Thanks

+1 this is a nice improvement even though it
wasn't implemented the way
I proposed it with XObjects for Interface Extensions
(see
http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/jj6z3ywptaqesv4r ) ;)
It wouldn't be hard to change though by replacing the Override page with
an
XObject I think.
Thanks
