FEU Properties

Post by DougWare »

I'm trying to use the FEU module for the first time, the instructions are not very clear to me and the page listed in the Help that contains FAQs doesn't work, it's a default CentOS page.

I'm sure my question is dumb, but I've spent nearly two hours researching the problem and I'm not closer to an answer.

I have properties such as "SupportLevel", "SupportStatus", etc.  When the user logs in, it should take them directly to a profile page (which it does), but I can't seem to get it to show the properties of the logged in user.

Can someone tell me where the best documentation is for the FEU module, and what I'm doing wrong, hopefully with a short demonstration code that I can look at so I understand this module better?

Thanks

log in to your Admin, go to Users and Groups > Frontend User Management, then click the "Module Help" link on the right side of the page.

Also, doing a Google search of these forums using these keywords "frontendusers properties" turns up this thread that should give you exactly what you need:

First, I appreciate your response.  However, the help that's available in the top right hand corner isn't very helpful that I can see for this situation and the FAQ link doesn't work.  Secondly, I found the thread you mentioned, but I still didn't understand how he was calling the property by name.  I'll try again using the referenced post.

If you're using FEU with the CustomContent module, you can use:

{$ccuser->property('propertyname')}

(see CustomContent help)

That's the type of tag I was looking for, but I can't seem to implement it properly now that I know what it is....

The only tag that seems to be working for me is {$customcontent_loginname}, but once I log out and go back to the login page and login again...even it doesn't work.

The {$ccuser->property('SupportLevel')} and {$ccuser->property('DeviceCount')} tags return nothing....

Here is the code from the content block I'm using...

{cms_module module='FrontEndUsers' form='silent'}
{$feu_smarty->get_user_properties($customcontent_loggedin,'userprops')}

User Name: {$customcontent_loginname}
Support Level: {$ccuser->property('SupportLevel')}
Device Limit: {$ccuser->property('DeviceLimit')}


The SupportLevel and DeviceLimit fields exisit and are populated for that user, but they are hidden fields....I only want the admin to change them.  Could that be the problem with the blank fields?  What about the logout/login issue...

Thanks
Doug

It works OK for me, but there are quite a few posts in the forum if you search for "ccuser"
