Answered Few login questions for you all!

Hi guys,

I need a members login section on a new site I am about to start building - I had earmarked LOGIN addon as the solution here. Few questions:

1. Can one export a XLS or such from MODX which contains all the member information? e.g. username, password and other membership information?

2. Can MODx be setup to send an email to an identified email address when a member updates their membership details with notes about what they have changed?

3. Can I expose membership information into a table on a resource - e.g. I want to create a members list page, so selecting to expose specific elements of a members membership information within a table which includes the data for all members. So kind of like using GetResources to pull from the members area to display via a TPL chunk pulling the data fields I want..?


Thanks

1. I believe that there is at least one extra for that. http://modx.com/extras/package/xodus

2. Yes, the UpdateProfile snippet that is part of the Login package can use posthooks to do whatever you like, just write a snippet to use as the posthook.

3. Yes, the pdoTools package comes with pdoUsers http://docs.modx.pro/en/components/pdotools/snippets/pdousers

Thanks Susan - I will have a look at what you suggest - many thanks

Susan - looks like Xodus is not ready for Revo 2.3 as yet (https://github.com/modxcms/revolution/issues/11630#issue-37173621) - do you know of any other ways or exporting the users data from MODx without needing to use something like phpMyAdmin?

I've written custom snippets to do it, but the method depends on how you plan to use the exported data.

Thanks Bob - I have it working using pdoTools - to place the contents of the members data into a resource which can be downloaded - but I fear that security is not as tight as it should be... Any advice on a solution?

Sounds like a good idea Bob. I only want the CMS admin user to be able to see the resource yes - so this should work very well. Thanks

Glad I could help.
