The only thing realy missing That would make this into a flexible usrer profile module is a way of tapping into the DNN core user registration. So let's say you have gone into Admin >> User Accounts >> Manage Profile Properties, And set up a custom registration profile. Now using PA you could use a token in your template to be able to pull that info from the DNN core user registration and populate the template with that users info. Let's say [USERPROFILE:AboutMe] or [USERPROFILE:Age]. So after log in the user is redirected to a page that contains PA with the Form(template) already populated with the info, they filled in from the DNN core user registration.Then all that is left for them to do is upload their photos and they are off!
Now if were able to do that, then we could also make those properties (i.e. [USERPROFILE:AboutMe] ) Searchable. Now the iceing on the cake would be a way (maybe a token?) to tap into the DNN isonline so users could see who is online or sort by who isonline and who isnot.
Now if Scott were to make this (as he does anyway) Compatible with the rest of his modules you could tie them all together by userid for Private Messages, New Articles and even use with Active forums or the DNN Core forums.It would be nice if A user posted in either of the above forums and there pic would be tied right back into their user profile by clicking on it.
I would love to see this happen! Any others? |
