Creating User Profile/Radio Pages - Submit An Online Stream

Hello

first please install component on a test installation (you have done this already?), to see what is available,

1. then visit the author backend tab and edit an author, and review what is available,
(each author can have a "description-profile" item)

2. create an "Author" menu item

3. create a "Myitems" menu item

sorry but the author/user stuff is work in progress (now), some things need a some work on your part:


e.g. making a user/author listing is not yet directly supported,
-- but you can make a link to the category that contains the user description-profile items,


e.g. no field to link to author view,
-- but possible and not difficult to do:
How to create a field that links to author listing view of current item author


in short make a test site, review component, and check out our FAQ articles,
and then you decide if it covers your needs

in the test site you may also install other user-handling components to review

Regards

Hi

There is one author in the Authors tab,
My main user (Super User) is that correct
Or do you mean I have to add each user i want to be able to create/edit their own page?

I noticed when i enabled the Universal Content Module for FLEXIcontent
I put it in the center bottom position on the home page.
If i log out, as a guest if i click an item, or read more,
I get options to edit that item, as if i'm logged in as admin.

Hello

- either you are still logged in for some reason (maybe some auto login plugin?)

- or due to ACL privileges your guest have edit privileges, please check your ACL

- or you have discover a FLEXIcontent bug ??


please check number 2 , and if you still have a problem then send me a PM with instructions on how to replicate this

Regards

Not sure,

If we're talking about global configurations in joomla
Then under permissions i can see;
Guests > Edit, Edit state, Edit Own, those are set to Allowed, i set those to Denied.
For Public, everything is set to "Not Set".
I'm guessing i needed to create an "Item submission Form" menu item also?
I don't fully understand the permissions/ACL setup.
If i'm logged in as a member and click that Item Submission link,
It says, You are not authorized to create content
God i have too much to learn

In order to configure the (Frontend) Submit/Edit ITEM FORM, please set:
(a) Form Configuration in Component and Content Type,
(b) 'Create' / 'Edit' ACL for Category and Types, etc
(c) Author/User group limitations, etc

-- So enable/use the following overrides only if needed,

-- The above mentioned configuration and ACL are needed ANYWAY in various cases and places.

Hello

so the edit button appears,

what happens if you click it?
do you get the item form ?

please send me a PM super admin login
and instruction where/what to do in frontend to view the issue that you describe

Regards

Hi,

When i clicked it as a Guest it left me edit the whole thing as if i was admin,
I changed those 3 settings for guest as described above then i didn't see that edit button as a guest.
I don't know if flexicontent opened those permissions to guests or what.
But guests don't see it now.

I don't know if this is for me, maybe i need something that's more dedicated to user profiles.

Hello

I changed those 3 settings for guest as described above then i didn't see that edit button as a guest.

you mean you change the "create,edit,..." privelege for guest, right?

about shoutcast field, have you found any Joomla plugin (plugin not MODULE) that supports this, if so you can trigger it in a FLEXIContent text field

Hi,

Yes I mean I set those 3 settings to "Disabled"
No i wouldn't know where to begin, i haven't done anything else with Flexicontent either.

Hello

FLEXIcontent is built for many different sites,
(that is why is somewhat complex,
and we have done work on it to simplify / make configuring easier, and we continue on this)

but in your case it does not have the field that you need

-- if you find a CCK that does have, or if you have some CMS (not Joomla), that has it then go ahead and use it

it is not bad doing the above,

-- you see, you should use the most suitable software in every site scenario, there is nothing bad with the other software, that do not have this feature, just you use whatever is more appropriate in your case

Regards

Thank you I appreciate your help and feedback,
Just haven't got the knowledge to fully develop the ideas i have.
What could take someone a few hours to put together probably is not as easy to realize for me.
I wish i could just take a few extensions and build something really nice, it's not that simple i know, wish it was.
