Questions from a new user

Beitrag von Mloren »

Hi, I'm trying out admidio for the first time to see if it would be useful for my organisation and I really like what I've seen.

I have a few questions though:

1. When I view someone's profile, their address fields (street, country, postcode, etc) have been grouped together in a single Address area. How is this setup? If I create some new profile fields, can I make them group together like this?

2. Is there any way I can add some text to the registration screen? I mean text that you can't edit? I need a legal disclaimer just above the field where they add their address that says:
"Members must inform the Membership Director of any change of address, so that the Register of Members may be updated - this is a legal requirement under the Corporations Act 2001."
I need to add a few other pieces of text as well just like this one.
I know I can add description but that only appears if you click the little question mark, I need it to always be on the form.

3. I need membership in my organisation to only last for 1 year, after which they need to fill out the form again. Is there any way I can do this?
I don't really need them to fill out all the fields, really I just need them to tick a couple of boxes that say "I'd like to renew my membership" and "I agree to the code of conduct".
Can I force members to do this every year and tell which ones haven't?

thanks for your help

Hi,

1. Goto to 'Manage profile fields' in the addional functions of the user management. With 'Manage categories' you can add and sort the group labels. Within the properties of a profile field you can change the category for most of the fields.

2. There is no way to do this within the application.
But you can 'hijack' most html elements of a web page with some extra CSS code:

Code: Alles auswählen

form#edit_profile_form[action$='new_user=2'] 
  #gb_category_ADRESSE > .panel-body::after{
      content: 'Members must inform the Membership Director [...]';
}

The trick is the used CSS selector (the first two lines). This selects the body panel of the ADRESSE category block of the edit_profile_form when this is used in registration mode (new_user=2).
You can place this code in your used theme either in admidio.css or within a <style> tag in my_header.php.
This technique can be used for more such labels, you simply need to find a suitable selector! You'll need to look at the web page in 'source code mode' to do this.

3. Membership is organized by roles. By default the roles will never end, but you can set an end date to each role assignment. If you set the end date to one year later, the user can't login any more afterwards and will NOT be member of the roles. But his master data record is still available - if he registers again with the same firstname/surename pair his old data can be reused.

Hope this helps.


Best regards,

Christian
