Adding a front end page with user profile forms

The "Profile Panel Component" provides a tabbed interface that can be used by front end users to edit their own profile information.

Here is a sample page setup:

  • Create a new page titled "Account"

  • Set URL to "/account/:code?"

  • Add components "Account", "Profile Panel", and "Session" by draging and dropping the "Account" and "Profile Panel" components in the markup area. "Session" component can be double clicked as it does not need to be in the markup area.

  • Check the boxes in the "Included Panels" property of "Profile Panel" that you want to show in your page.

  • Add page markup:

    {% if user %}
    {% component 'ProPanel' %}
    {% else %}
    {% component 'Account' %}
    {% endif %}
  • Save your new page and test it out.

Adding a front end page with delegated user-administrator profile forms

WARNING: This page needs to be protected from average user access.

The "User Administrator Panel Component" provides a tabbed interface that can be used by front end users to edit other profiles of users in their own primary user-group.

Before you start Use instructions from Passage Permission Keys plugin to protect this page.

  • You will want to create a new key and user-group for profile admins and only allow people you delegated as user administrators to access the component on this page.

The page will contain the forms for your delegated user admins can use to edit profiles of users in their primary group.

Here is a sample page setup:

  • Create a new page titled "Profile Administration"

  • Set URL to "/profile-administration/:slug?"

  • Add component "User Administrator Panel" by draging and dropping the component in the markup area.

  • Check the boxes in the "Included Panels" property of "User Administrator Panel" that you want to show in your page.

Events

This plugin will fire some global events that can be useful for interacting with other plugins.

  • kurtjensen.profile.afterSave: After the user's changes are saved. Passes the variables saved from the form and the original user model from before the changes.

Here is an example of hooking an event:

Event::listen('kurtjensen.profile.afterSave', function($new_data, $old_user) {
    // Check to see if user changed their email address
      if(!$new_data['email'] == $old_user->email){

       }
});
