Partner first name and last name

This module was written to extend the functionality of contacts to support having separate last name and first name.

Usage

The field name becomes a stored function field concatenating the last name and the first name. This avoids breaking compatibility with other modules.

Users should fulfill manually the separate fields for last name and first name, but in case you edit just the name field in some unexpected module, there is an inverse function that tries to split that automatically. It assumes that you write the name in format "Lastname Firstname", but it could lead to wrong splitting (because it's just blindly trying to guess what you meant), so you better specify it manually.

For the same reason, after installing, previous names for contacts will stay in the name field, and the first time you edit any of them you will be asked to supply the last name and first name (just once per contact).

You can use _get_inverse_name method to get lastname and firstname from a simple string and also _get_computed_name to get a name form the lastname and firstname. These methods can be overridden to change the format specified above
