User Data Fields
When an individul user logs into their account will they be able to add and delete data fields in the "Properties" section. Or is this a global setting available only to the site admin?

What data input types are acceptable? (drop down, text, text area, multiple select, etc..)

Hi,

This is a global option only available to the admin. You can add any type of form field you like (select list, multi, radio, checkbox, etc).

Cheers,

Alex

Thanks for the quick response. Any plansof making this a user level option (add, delete, edit data fields)? Is it even possible without extensive (expensive) customization?

It would be hard to do, as when the admin changes those fields, it updates the SQL table (the same table that is used for all users). It might be possible to just add a Custom1, Custom2, etc fields, and let the user decide what they want to do with those fields (if anything).

Cheers,

Thanks Alex. That makes sense. The generic custom fields should work fine for text fields that the user could just change the label on, or on/off radial select.

The difficulty would come if they wanted to customize the selections offered in a drop down or multiple check box.

But then, if they want something that custom I'll just send them here to buy their own :-)
