User Module and Checboxes on weblog

2010-03-15T10:51:49Z

Okay have setup a new member profile section using USER and it works great…

I want to setup another section though for that user called ” INTERESTS” and in that section the user can then select via checkbox a number of things they’re interested in ..

How do I go about doing this ? There will be maybe 50 checkboxes so do I need 50 custom fields ??

The idea being that a member ticks they are interested in say :

AFRICA | ARCHAEOLOGY | ANTARCTICA | EGYPT | UNDERWATER

then admin will be able to export say everyone interested in AFRICA for email marketing etc.

The question is how do I do that checkbox section ?

Puzzling mangled character issue in profiles

2010-03-15T00:27:04Z

I am entering in non English characters (from Japanese to accented vowels) into custom fields in the profile.

In the EE control panel I am getting everything back correctly.

All content is showing up in the database correctly.

The problem is on the profile page - all these characters are coming back incorrectly. Any ideas why this would be happening?

Tag working sometimes… but not everywhere

2010-03-12T14:05:18Z

I have a strange issue going on with the {exp:user:users} tag.

I am using the EE MSM and have a separate site setup for testing. It is an exact duplicate in terms of templates of the live site. It actually just pulls in the weblogs from the live site as well. So I can be sure that everything is the same. Everything I had setup in the testing site works fine. I transfer all of the templates into the new site and everything works fine as well… with the exception of one page.

Basically I am using the {exp:user:users} tag to create a list of our blog authors along with links. This is located in a sidebar embedded template. It is used in all of the blog related templates. It generates the list as expected on our live site on all templates except the template for the categories. It didn’t output the list of users. The template for displaying categories is the same physical template as the blog index template, and the list generates just fine on the index. The same exact templates work fine on our testing MSM site. I can’t figure out what is going on.

Here is the tag code inside the embedded template.

{exp:user:users orderby="author-order" sort="asc" group_id="12"}
{if total_combined_posts != 0}
                    <div{if segment_3 == username} class="sidenav1_on"{if:else} class="sidenav1"{/if}><a href="{path=">{screen_name}a>div>
{/if}
{/exp:user:users} 

Forgot password form submission, can set to specific redirect?

2009-12-30T11:50:41Z

I want to specify where


{exp:user:forgot}

redirects to.

I want it to redirect to itself, so I can post a message, using jQuery saying an email has been sent w/ instructions to reset password.

There is no mention of a redirect parameter in the documentation http://www.solspace.com/docs/detail/user_forgot_password/#parameters

Is there a hack to get it to post to itself or it needs to redirect to a special page to process the function?

Send Admin Email When User Registers - Slight Twist though…

2009-09-19T03:48:14Z

Hiya,

I was just wondering if it’s somehow possible (don’t know if User->Register has any hooks available to it?) to send an e-mail to the admin when a user registers but only if they register for certain member groups and not all.

What I have is a site whereby there will be standard users who can sign up and use the site immediately and no tracking of that data will really be required but then there will also be a couple (might be more) of member groups where it would be great if the site admin could receive an e-mail telling them that these people have registered.

The site is setup to allow people to be logged-in immediately upon registering.

Thanks for any help on this.

Best wishes,

Mark

Logout doesn’t work

2010-03-15T12:31:35Z

I’m having a problem where since installing the User 3.01 module I am randomly unable to logout of an account. I’m not certain this is an issue with User but it appeared just after installing it. I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this issue?

I have, of course, tried to delete browser cache, cookies, ee cache and many other troubleshooting ideas but nothing has worded so far.

This happens in both Safari and Firefox but I haven’t been able to replicate it in IE 8 yet.

Any ideas would be helpful, thanks!
