Project Description

Provides user profiles

Usage

Once installed, two new views are provided:
  • Display profile
  • Edit own profile

Adding Profile Information

The profile is made of all the different parts attached to the User content type. To add some properties to a profile, like a Bio, and Address, some personal information, or whatever you want, just create a custom part and attach it to the User content type.

Adding Fields to the Profile

Optionally, you can add fields to the default ProfilePart installed with this module. In the Content Types sections of the Dashboard, select Content Parts, then Profile, and finally add all the fields you want to display. You can reuse custom Field Types available on the Gallery, like Date Time Field, Image Field, and so on.

Displaying a Profile

You can access a profile directly by going to /profile/UserName
You can also add a link to any profile by using the provided Profile.LinkFor shape. It takes a UserName and an optional Text for the link itself.

@Display(New.Profile_LinkFor(UserName: "johndoe"))

Editing a Profile

From the front-end, only the authenticated user can edit his profile. The page is accessible through the route /profile/edit, or using @Html.ActionLink(text, "Edit", "Contrib.Profile")

From the Dashboard, profiles are manageable using the standard Users management page.
