Hi,

I am pretty new to DNN. Just installed "Simple Gallery" for a customer and I love how simple the install and setup was! Works like a champ! Using DNN 4.8.2....

Question: The site I am working on is for members club. Is there a way to make "User Accounts" visible to registered users? I basically need a way for registered users to view or browse the profiles of all other site members....

Thank you in advance for a any suggestions.....
SRW

Hi SRW!

Take a look at 'Dynamic User Directory' and 'Dynamic User Registration' from www.datasprings.com

You can edit the admin module definition to make it appear as a selectable module I think.

Petri.

Thanks for that link..... "Dynamic User Directory" Looks very promising. Is this a module you have have used before?

Thanks!

Scott,

Thanks, I was hoping something like that might be possible... Any pointers as what to look for and where to start? When I look at Host » Module Definitions I see "User Account" and when I edit that there are various options, none of which seems that will make the module selectable?

Pardon my ignorance here but I wouldr really appreciate any suggestions as what to look for when editing...and if I am even looking in the right spot!

Thanks again,
SRW

Actually, what Scott is telling you is to add a new module which has the View control points to the ASCX file in Admin/Users that renders the user list.

I tried this before but it (seems to) have a problem with access permission. I don't remember clearly because it's quite a long time now.

Anyway, here are the steps you should do:

  1. Go to Module Definitions
  2. Add New Module Definition
  3. Enter "User Directory" in the Name and Directory boxes
  4. Add new definition for the module
  5. Click "Add Control". In the Type list, choose View. In the file location, choose "Admin/Users/whatever.ascx" (the file that renders the User List, I don't remember)

And that's it, you can now add that module to a page.

Let me know if it works like expected.

P.S: you should check out the free Effority User Directory (see DNN Forge)

Nghi Le,

Thanks for the directions and suggesting "Effority User Directory". Funny thing is I cam across it at Codeplex www.codeplex.com/userdirectory just before I read your post!

I have it installed and it looks like it will do everything I need at this time. Thanks again to all for the feedback.

Just to close this thread out, the DNN user manager really shouldn't be used for public users. But to make a module selectable in the top menu, there is a "IsAdmin" flag in DesktopModules, if you set this to false and restart your DNN app, you should be able to see it in the module list.
