Private messages
Permalink
Hi everyone, ok, so I read all the posts on the forum about private messaging. However, it's still not very clear.
I have various users with the following attribute checked: 'Yes, I would like to receive private messages'
How do I actually SEND them a message? There is no button in the user profile...
Look forward to hearing the answer!

Thanks this helped a lot! ;)
Hey Adajad! I was wondering if it's possible to let users edit their personal page once they are logged in. Now they can edit their Avatar, and change password, however, I would like them to be able to add content, photos or videos... can that be done?
Thanks,
Luca

That is probably doable, but will require some (or a lot of) coding on your part. As far as I know it is not a feature out of the box, and searching through the forums might give you some insight.
Also, have you looked for any add-on with this functionality?

It's kinda built in. You can add editable areas to the profile page. Here's an evenings worth of reading for you:

I copied the [root]/concrete/single_pages/profile/view.php and put it in [root]/single_pages/profile/view.php and then added an editable area to it. I had to grant editing permission for the page to the individual member and I had to make sure the member had all the proper permissions on the editable area so it's a bit of a pain to do if you have a lot of members but it's certainly doable without complex PHP coding.

That is exactly the approach I have taken to completely modify profile sidebars!! My question is... Have you ever packaged modifications to the sidebar.php in a theme? I can't seem to get to the bottom of this...
EDIT: nor have I been able to package the single_pages/profile files either

Nope
With public profiles all your users will have their own profile page (much like you do here on concrete5.org) and on each user profile page you will find a link to send that user a private message.
