Compatible with: EE1 / EE2
Description
The User module’s primary purpose is to bring EE Member template functionality outside of those restricted templates, and into regular EE templates. Imagine implementing very customizable and flexible member templates within minutes! Easily display other features in a users profile page such as their recent channel entries, photos, EE comments, Solspace Favorites add-on favorites, and more!
This powerful and very flexible module is also capable of much more. It brings to the table a robust set of front end member management tools and adds much more flexibility to the way your member management behaves. Send an automated custom welcome email to users once their registration is complete, Register new members via the front end, set the email address to be the username for logging into your site, Custom error pages… need we say more?!
Freedom is a good thing.
User also contains a special feature that allows you to assign multiple authors to a channel entry. This is done by using an additional tab in the Publish page of the ExpressionEngine CP. The admin can then select members from the member list to assign them to the entry as authors.
Try it today! 30 day money back guarantee!
If User does not meet your expectations, or is not right for you, just let us know and we’ll give you a full refund within 30 days of purchase.

2. Installing the Add-On
- Go to the Modules area in the ExpressionEngine Control Panel, find User in the list, and click Install.
3. Loading the User Code Pack sample data (optional)
To make use of the User Code Pack sample templates, you’ll need to make sure the Code Pack module and Rating Code Pack extension is installed:
- Go to the Extensions area in the ExpressionEngine Control Panel, find User Code Pack in the list, and click Enable.
- Go to the Modules area in the ExpressionEngine Control Panel, find Code Pack in the list and make sure it is installed. If not, click Install. Then, click the link for Code Pack.

- Select the Default code pack and click the Submit button. The Code Pack module will output sample templates and other data, all prefixed with the value you specified.
4. Setup & Configuring
- Nothing is actually required to configure User, as it mostly just extends the native EE Member module. However, User does have a handful of additional features available that require configuration for usage.
- To adjust any settings in User, click on the Preferences tab in the Control Panel area and then modify as necessary.
