Hi,
I've been approached by a potential client to build a site with the following basic functionality:
- A members only site listing available classes with a variable number of open spots and the lastest news from the admin. I plan on doing this by simply checking if the username, password and unique id match and setting a cookie or session to allow for viewing of the site. This way I can pull up their unique information and display it on a dashboard-ish page. If anyone has a better suggestion, I'll be happy to hear them!
ok, here's where I get a little lost:
- Members can change their passwords after they've logged in (accounts are made for them, there will be no create an account functionality) - How would I build functionality that will change and write this information from the front-end to the back-end?
- Members can register for classes if there is room available. Again, almost about the same issue as above, how can I write from the front-end to the back-end by connecting a member's id/username to a class that will be created via the backend as a class under the page-type classes? How would I be able to get this information into, say, a list via the backend which will display the user's name, id and email?
Basically, I'm wondering how I would go about allowing users logged into the front-end to manipulate their own personal information in the backend and connect themselves to a class if there is room available.
I've seen this post: http://processwire.c...-widget-system/ which seems like it would be perfect for what I'm looking to build but I don't think my time frame allows for the wait.
Many thanks in advance for any advice - PW rocks!
