Membership Directory

Permalink
I am designing a website for a non-profit governmental organization that needs a "Membership Directory" that lists each member alphabetically. That list then needs to link to an individualized page that gives basic profile information of its members (Name, Address, Phone, Website, Email). It will be behind a password protected area of the website, so that's not a problem... but I don't know if C5 has this capability built in or not.

Any ideas?

Most of what your talking about can be done through the Users & Groups tab.

First take a look at the Login & Registration. Enable public profiles and you can change how the user logs in.

Then take a look over at the user attributes. You can add different attributes. Also you can edit them and in turn make them appear on their profile.

It takes a little bit of time but thanks to the core dev team all of these features are built in to 5.3.3.1!

Hope this helps!

after you enable profiles, it activates the "members" single page that lists all the members

I am using 5.3.3.1, but my installation is not building membership profile pages... although they are activated

But, the company doesn't want members to log in... they want to enter this data and then present a listing of each member which then opens up the member's profile.

That's where I'm running into difficulty.

well you can manually create each user with a random password in the username field their name, then you can add user attributes.

to allow spaces in the username field you need to add this to your /config/site.php

define('USER_USERNAME_ALLOW_SPACES', true);
