Web Users/Member Pages/Login & Logout Link

I posted this in the General Support before I knew about this section.. this seems like the right place to put it.. hopefully some1 can help me out!


What I’m trying to do is create a members only section of my website so I can give things individually for my members to do.. I would like to be able to share some things with only 1 user if its possible. Sort of like how each page in the site manager has its on separate "Content" area, I would like to have something separate for each user like that.. but if I want to share information with ALL the users at once I would change in the "Template" that ALL the pages share.. my best manager analogy so hopefully it helps every1 understand what i mean

Web Users
1. How do I send an email verification?


Member Pages
2a. I have a page called "Dashboard" (http://siteurl.com/dashboard) that I would like to be accessible to only people that are signed in.. Is there a way to do this?

2b. I would like to have "Hello *User’s Name*" how do I do this?
2c. I would like to be able to change information on User1’s page without it affecting the information on User2’s page is this possible?


Login & Logout Link
3. near the top of my website I have <a href="[~22~]">Login</a> and it works perfectly, but How do I change "Login" to "Logout" when the user is already logged in?

is what i want possible?

Most of what you are talking about should be possible.

I’m not exactly sure at the moment about the Login/Logout link. I had it working with the standard login code by using the Personalize 2.0 snippet and creating two chunks to display if a person was logged in or not. However it seems to have stopped working at some point after I installed WebloginPE (among other snippets). I’m not sure what the solution is yet.

2c. As for putting custom information on User1 or User2’s pages, I would think that should be possible by creating a custom field. Then you could edit the user data to add that info.

2b. WebLoginPE has place holders for nearly any of it’s database fields. If WebLoginPE has been called somewhere in the template then you can insert a place holder. There is also a snippet called UserPlaceholders that you could install to do something similar.

2a. I’m not sure what you are wanting to accomplish with the dashboard, but you can setup permission groups in MODx that allows you to group users and then set a page to be only visible by that group. It’s under the Security tab "Web Users" and "Web Permissions".

Unfortunately the otherwise excellent documentation that comes with WebLoginPE mistakenly repeats the documentation for the &loginFormTpl. However, the &successTpl documentation does correctly link to the default "successful login" template, which you can modify as desired, using the available placeholders. See also the "Placeholders" tab in the documentation.
