Title: Setting permissions to allow a personal page for individual registered users.
Post by: grayarti on March 25, 2008, 03:19:56

Hi everyone!
I am using Elxis 2008 for a wedding-planner's site, and would like to be able to have our clients visit a personal, private contract and reservation status page.  Does anyone have an idea if this is possible, and could help me out with some suggestions? ... many thanks.
I am loving this Elxis experience, a great CMS!
hopeful... Grayarti

Hi grayarti and welcome to the Elxis ...
You can assign a group to every user , and set their page to their group , although this is not a good idea for much number of users , if your info can be process through a database , you can use a professional form and assign infos to every individual user , you can do this with FacileForms component ...

The best solution is to build a special component for this task that will filter users by username.

Hello everyone, and thanks for your very prompt replies.
As Sirigos asked, here is what I need to do:
This site is a tecnical information site for a place that organizes business meetings, weddings and cerimonies, gala dinners, etc., and will supply details about rentable spaces, room measurements, catering possibilities, etc. etc..
There will be downloadable .pdf files and photos, maps, route directions, etc..
The only people that will be able to log-in are the few clients that have already made a booking, and I want to be able to let them consult a personal private page, or space, where they can check their reservation status, check a rooming-list, or dinner menù. 
These are the only people that need to have a user/pw, which will be supplied by the management via e-mail, and there will only be up to around 10 different clients at any one time, after which each 'account' can be renamed and have its p/w changed by the management.
I have tried various combinations of users and permissions, much as Farhad suggests, giving individual permissions on user menues and autonomous pages, but can't seem to get the 'logic' right somehow.  8)
I'm in no particular hurry, as I'm having great fun building the site with your great Elxis CMS, but once it will be ready and have its content complete, I would really like to add this functionality for the users.
Once again, my compliments, looking forward to any clarifications and suggestions, best regards
Grayarti
