Allowing users to manage their "profile page"
Hi – I’ve been using txp for a number of sites over the past few years, and I’d like to use it for my current project.
I’m sure this can be done (with plugins) and I’m sure its been done before, so I thought I’d ask…
1) I want visitors to my site to be able to register for an ‘account’.
2) When they’ve done this, I will ask them some questions in a form, and the results will be displayed on a ‘profile page’ located at www.example.com/username
3) And I want them to be able to edit their profile page at any time in the future.
Is this possible – probably by registering each user as an ‘author’ and registering them their own page? How could I password protect the ‘edit’ function? Do you think it would be possible for them to edit their profile page without them enetering the txp back-end interface (using some forms and php / sql commands to update the article direct in db?
Thanks for any help
Chris.

Re: Allowing users to manage their "profile page"
You probably want to look at:
mem_self_register
ign_password_protect
rvm_privileged
That’ll get you started; plenty of good advice on those forum threads alone! Hope that helps.

Re: Allowing users to manage their "profile page"
Thanks for the heads up – I’m beginning to visualise how I will achieve the registration process, password protection etc.

Re: Allowing users to manage their "profile page"
Let me/us know if you accomplished that, because I’d like to do the same, but the customizing and reserved profile page is a bit over my imagination now. The self-registering part is ok, and also submitting an article can be done with manfre’s plugins, but how this can be modified without entering the admin section is over my understanding… Thanks!
