Profile Tweaks

Does Profile Tweaks module also come with form designer to help customize settings?

Thanks!

Profile Tweaks allows the profile owner to adjust their profile. That level of user will not have access to the form designer. The form designer is an admin only (owner of the site) level tool.

Hi Michael,

I understand that form designer is for the admin. My question is, does that module use form designer to adjust which areas are customizable?

Thank you,

MM

maybe, not sure.... What the Form Designer is is a way to tap into the functionality that modules have but without having to look at code. If you're comfortable looking at code then you have the most amount of flexibility.

Jamroom at its core is for developers then stuff to allow non-developer access has been layered on top so the most access you have is at the code level. Through systems like the "events and listeners" system pretty much anything is adjustable.

Maybe if I understood the goal I can better understand the question.

--edit--
an example: Pretty much all of my sites have a 'tweaks' type module that in-itself doesn't do anything specific but I'll put listeners into it for any adjustments I want to make.

I basically need control over the CSS, giving options for the user to change.

Right, gotcha. Then: currently there is no Form Designer button for that form. Any extra fields would need to be added via a module.

You do have the option of allowing them to change skins, but making one for everybody would be a bigger task than just making a module that allowed them to input .css directly.

I've been waiting 20 yrs for JR to come up with a simple css editor type module for admins and users. I think Profile Tweaks might be a good start.... I have an app that's almost ready for the next step.. adding it to JR as a module.

I wanted to add more inputs in the profile settings page, but I don't understand how to pull the uploaded img url from jrImage display.... all I need is the "url", not img src="url".


Thank you, Michael!

Here's a cut down module that just has a listener for that form. It has a couple of examples of form fields being added to the page.

Hopefully this gives you a good idea of how to start.

I'll take a look!

Thank you so much!

In that module above in the include file under the other form fields if you want to add an image upload, add this form field code
That will allow for upload of .jpg or .png files.

If you want those fields to change from the profile tweaks module's form to the PROFILE form instead change the top line from
to

From either of those two locations the fields will be saved to the users 'profile' datastore so can be used in any location where the other profile stuff is found, so if in the template you see {$_profile['profile_name']} then you can use {$_profile['profile_tweaks_css3']} to get its value back out.

If in the templates you see {$profile_name} then you can use {$profile_tweaks_css3} to get its value.

if you put {debug} then you can see what values are available to you in templates.

I know I'll have more questions soon.

This helps, thank you!!
