Hello All!
I have been following the following documentation as I need a custom members area to allow me to show individual users their own personal dashboards. This tutorial works great and is what I need however, I also need to manually approve users as this is a staff only site. When I use the manually approve members function the custom members database is no longer populated just wondering if anyone has any ideas why.
Hi Rob,
I am also building a members area. I received this message upon syncing the database:
Maybe your issue has something to do with this?
In my case, I want to show members specific documents. The website owner would be the only one generating the content for that user. I created a database for member-only content.
Columns:
Title
Customer ID
Document Name
Document Description
Document URL
Added a new Member page - used a repeater and connected the data. But nothing is showing up on the live site. Any suggestions would be great!
Hello Simone,
I assume you have created a new database and that you have now taken the ID from the private members database and referenced this in your ‘Customer ID’ column. If you have done this how are you going to redirect each user to their own document? Also how are you going to ensure that one user cannot view another users file?
This is one of them main reasons why I am also finding this difficult as its hard to find the balance between functionality and users privacy.
Hi Rob,
Yes, I created a database and the ID is pulled from an automatically generated list of member IDs/emails.
I can get the documents to show up now, but it is showing all of them and not only that member’s.
Same issue with privacy.
Thanks!
Hi Everyone,
I’m desperately trying to build a members area. I’ve followed all documentation I’ve had access to so far but it’s still not working. Not sure what’s going on as I’ve followed the instructions on every documentation I’ve checked. Anyone available for a quick consultation or walkthrough?
Thanks
