[CMS MS Baby] - Want some help/direction on building my site

[vnaresh]

Hi all,

I just installed CMS MS and poked around in the admin panel a little bit. Actually, what I intend to do is very simple. Please excuse me if I asking for too much but any help or direction to resources will greatly benefit me.

I want to create a profile page for each user. Each user who log's in must see one single page that has:
______________

upload profile photo

So, the user should be able to upload a photo and some pictures that will be saved in a folder with the same name as the username on the server. Once saved, the user's profile should be visible to everyone on the internet at the address: http://www.example.com/username

Is this possible to do with CMS MS and how difficult is it? Thank you for spending a little bit of your time to save a lot of mine

Hi and welcome.

You best bet would be using following modules:
FrontEndUsers
SelfRegistration
CGUserDirectory

With FrontendUsers you will be able to maintain your registered user, let them login and edit their profiles.
With SelfRegistration you can create a registration form where you visitors can register and are listed in FrontEndUsers module.
With CGUserDirectory you can then create a page or pages where your Registered user can be listed, searched for...

So yes it is possible, and can't tell you how difficult it might be as it depends on your understanding of Smarty templating but setting these module up as needed should be easy if you read module Help.

Hey,

Thank you so much for your quick response. I will try these modules. I was actually hesitant whether it was even possible to do what I wanted with a CMS but now that I know it is, I will spend more time on this.
