How to update users information?
Using Links 3.0x

How does a registered user update their password in our Links database?

I see that when they register the password is written to the database, but how do they go about changing it later?

Thanks,

You have to do it yourself or purchase a plugin.

The best bet would be to install GCommunity.

However, there are a few plugins that you can download (Plugins->Plugin Download->Show) that allow you to do this.

I think Change Info is one.

Hope this helps,

I've tried the change info plugin, but it comes back with the following error
Code:


A fatal error has occured:
Can't call method "param" on an undefined value at /home/site1/public_html/data/admin/Links.pm line 322.

Please enable debugging in setup for more details.

I've enabled debugging but the error message stays the same, so I have no idea what I must do, to fix this problem.

I'll try GCommunity to see if it will do what I need although it would be nice for the user to change it within the Links area.

Well, community gives you ample options, maybe too many options.

Maybe this thread will help:

Edit the changeinfo.cgi file before you install the plugin and uncomment this:

Code:

# Links::init('admin');

Hope this helps,
