Hi everyone,

We're working on a new feature for v1.32 that adds a "My Account" link and menu. The "My Account" menu lets users edit their username, password, email, and any other fields you choose.

This is useful to allow users to modify their own email or password, but can also be used to allow the user to easily manage a profile or homepage that can be displayed on the website.

By default, if a section has a field called 'createdByUserNum' all viewers will already automatically make all the user account variables as $record['createdBy.fullname'], $record['createdBy.email'], etc. So you can now easily add fields to the accounts section, let the users edit them through the "My Account" menu, and display them on the site.

I'll also be sending a beta email to any previous beta testers. If anyone wants to help beta test (you must own at least 1 CMSB license) please post on this thread. We'll have a beta ready for this soon. And if you have any questions, suggestions, etc feel free to post as well!

Thanks!

One bug so far....

Please set 'Admin Email' under: Admin > General Settings

is the error message that appears even if there is an email clearly in the blank 'Admin Email' under: Admin > General Settings

Let me know if you need access

Thanks,

Kenny

Thanks for the report! I've posted build2 and sent out an email. If anyone doesn't get it let me know.

This fixes the following:
- "Enter Admin Email" alert always showing, even after email entered
- Different languages not being displayed, even if selected
- Unclear error message for database errors after install
- Also I improved some more of the install logic and errors.

Thanks again, and let me know if you see any additional issues!
