uh, yeah.. that. Maybe someday. I am still in the beansprout/newbie phase.

I'm running the latest version of PW, but if the only problem is the PW nag? I think I'll export the site profile, load it to a second spot and try front end user... with the added js/css for the field validation and see if it works. If it does, then we're all set. I also looked at the subscribers module ... that too seemed to be in alpha :-D ... I'll try Front End User first.

I read through the multiple parents post. All my users basically enter the same 6 fields. They get assigned one of two roles depending upon whether they are just subscribing to content, or contributing content. I tried creating a user registration form... got it to create (albeit missing data, no follow up page, and ugly) to access > users ... but I'd need it to also notify the admin that a new user is waiting.

I am about to ask a big, stupid question... having gone through 50 pages of user, login, registration stuff. I can easily create a form - or use formbuilder - to create a simple registration form for a couple levels of users (roles = subscribers, contributors) and I can easily send those entries to a page structure like Pages --- Users ------Subscribers -- Bill Smith, etc. ------Contributors -- John Jones, etc. This creates a directory of pages, assigned roles, and page access based on role, but this doesn't put those people into: ACCESS > USERS > My user data lives in Admin > Access > Users -- not in the document tree. If I want to have user accounts, doesn't Bill Smith, in the example above, have to be in both locations? Or, at least Admin > Access > Users? This is a conceptual problem, not a code problem... as a new user of PW, I don't know where my logged in users are supposed to live -- and if I use a form, how to get them there.

This is exactly what I am doing... and I am using your formbuilder. I have a couple of registration forms - one shorter, one longer. The submissions are tagged as either subscribers or contributors and sent manually, to the document tree where I created: users --subscribers -----name --contributors -----name Contributors have access to the submission form pages that work like the example you cited to send data but not edit. Subscribers have access to view full detail pages, but they don't submit anything. Getting these entries into Admin > Access > Users is the question. It seems that users should be managed through this internal function since that provides login, reset password, etc. And in the back end, I can always add users manually, but I'm not sure (read: clueless) as to how to get those three fields: email, name, roles from the collected form entry into users...

YAY!! That worked!!! Thank you!

So this gives me: Call to a member function first() on a non-object (line 7 -- which is the line: $img = $image->first()->size(320, 180)->url; And most of my errors seemed to be like this. The field is a single image field, not a multiple image field.

** Actually the field is a single image field called "image" ... used for news features that have one teaser image...

I came across a foreach example that I was able to customize a bit without several error messages. Yes, I am new. Be kind... coming from Modx. Basically, 80% of what I need in most web development is: bring back a bunch of fields from THIS parent page or THIS template... and display a limited number... sorted by whatever.... home page features, carousels, masonry... it's everywhere This is a basic sample for news items on a sample home page - 3 across the bottom. What I can't seem to incorporate is the ability to say: $img = $image->size(320,180); No matter what image size has been uploaded, in the display we want it to be 320 px by 240px. I can do the images alone... foreach($images as $image) but I can't seem to get that into this foreach and I assume it's because I am using $features at the top ... I'd be happy to call it $pages or $penguin or anything... I just want to keep the ability to use the same thing in about 3-6 locations within a website by changing the template name... since this is a very common function. Thank you! $features = $pages->find("template=newsitem, limit=3, sort=-date"); foreach($features as $feature) { echo "<div class='column is-4' >" . "<img src='{$feature->image->url}' alt='' />" . "<h3 class='title is-4'><a href='{$feature->url}'>{$feature->title}</a></h3>" . "<p><span class='date'>{$feature->date} • </span>" . "{$feature->summary}</p>" . "</div>"; }
