New installation question..
Hello

We are trying to detemine if GT community is for us or not:

1- Can we still keep the custom fields we have in Links SQL users table? and how does the user edit them from community..?

2- The same question for the Forum?

3- will we still be able to use the custom field to build globals and templates?

Thanks for the help.
Regards

Can I suggest doing a test installation and then you will see what it can do? It won't affect your LSQL installations until you install the plugin on them.

You can customise the data fields and the user edits them through commmunity. You can also select which fields they can/cannot modify.

Sorry, don't use forum.

Globals & templates/template sets appear to work the same as in LSQL etc. I've just redesigned my templates to match my Beta3.x installation

Hi,

1. Gossamer Links doesn't have the ability for a user to edit their profile, where as Community does. So what I'd recommend is you move any profile information into Community, and that way the user can alter it at any time.

2. Same as above.

3. Yes, you can fetch the community profile by using a template tag, and then have access to all the related community information.

Cheers,

Alex

Does anyone know how to get around that error?
When clicking submit the page reloads and nothing happens.

I have my email and name entered
