ok...but what happens when your user base excedes 1000.
When you had 1,500 users, their uids would range from 1,001 to 2,501. Not an issue. Larry Garfield <larry@garfieldtech.com> writes:
The problem is that I may not know in advance how many I'll need. That's especially true with a site where users can supply content arbitrarily, such as anything with a forum.
You're making the same mistake. User-contributed content would start at 1,001 and go up. You won't run out of space. As I understand Dave's approach, no normal content or users go in the id<1000 space. Only "configuration" users/nodes/blocks/vocabularies/terms go there, things that are created and maintained by the site developer. If you are pre-creating nodes for every item in a library or a voc term for every word in the dictionary, then reserve 1,000,000 ids instead of 1,000. Otherwise, what site will ever run out of room?
