Nearly there with Public Profiles BUT??
Permalink
OK. So your client has registered and filled out all sorts of cool things and they have their profile enabled.
When they are browsing the website how do they navigate to their Profile or Client Page?
As its a system page admin can see it in the sitemap and visit it there but what about the members themselves.
Do they have to sign in at the bottom of the site like the admin?
I tried this but my profile page was still not visible.
I guess I'm thinking once you register and login you have access to another few options in the menu like My Profile etc.
I see you can go to that page on login but once you are browsing the site again how can you get back there? As it says your login details at the bottom. Maybe you could click on your username and it would take you to your profile page.
I think I'm just not seeing something obvious here (as usual) Some websites have at the top. You are logged in as Joe Bloggs and Joe Bloggs would be a link to your profile page??

build in links into your theme or stick in a content block with links
OK and make those link blocks only viewable to members if their logged in or something like that.
It's kind of like a special navigation would appear or an extra page available as a link once your logged in.
Are there any examples of this sort of members area or members nav?

taken out of the default footer and slightly modified,
<? $u = new User(); if ($u->isRegistered()) { ?> <? if (Config::get("ENABLE_USER_PROFILES")) { $userName = '<a href="' . $this->url('/profile') . '">' . $u->getUserName() . '</a>'; } else { $userName = $u->getUserName(); } ?> <?=t('Currently logged in as <b>%s</b>.', $userName)?> <a href="<?=$this->url('/login', 'logout')?>"><?=t('Sign Out')?></a> }
Cool, thanks for that
Do I replace the existing footer code with this?

umm i just took it from footer code, you can stick it wherever you want
Mark,
Wouldn't it be nice to have this as a "public_profile block"
which could be used in different ways:
1. Edited by the logged in user.
2. Become a hot-link just above the user login for example, assuming they log in and stay on the same page, with just the header menu expanding with newly accessible links. This hot link could be a popup or a dedicated page.
It would also be great to have a "registered membership block" which would have the names, and email addresses and be optionally able to drill down to their other fields.
I guess it should be something really simple, leaving jgarcia or someone to provide the really robust database form addon.
