Tony Stark	Tuesday 13 November 2007 12:59:46 pm Hi, I am trying to float an idea here to see if this is possible and what others are doing with user registration (and their associated profiles). Is it possible/easy/out of the box to use eZ to take registrations online using its vanilla online form and have them insert into the Database with different rights? So if I visit www.ezrocks.com could user A register and be assigned a user role and could User B register at the same site and be assigned a power user role (I understand that we would have to differentiate at registration time what they want to be etc). Based on this, how easy is it to alter the "My Profile" page for each user so they get to see and edit datasets based on their rights and roles? So User A can edit and update their name, country and city but User B can edit modify Name, Country, City, Age and an Image... And is it possible to link a users rights to edit values to another Content Object? So could User B edit and update the title of another object? I suppose what am I asking is can you assign a user to an object so that they can edit and update the values of that object via "My Profile" Thanks for your time!

It is not easy or possible out of the box Still ... No. I'm sorry but from what I've seen so far from the nature of your questions to date you will not be able to reach your goals without the support, experience and training from an eZ Partner on a paid basis. We would still urge you to continue to study and learn eZ Publish so that in the future you will be able to reach these goals on your own or through an experienced development resource. You may want to read the first few chapters of the new eZ Publish Projects Book as it provides some education surrounding the complexity of developing custom solutions with eZ Publish. <i>http://www.packtpub.com/Managing-eZ-Publish-Web-Open-Source</i> <i>//kracker Obi Trice : Cheers : Outro (Featuring D-12 and Eminem)</i> Member since: 2001.07.13 \|\| http://ezpedia.se7enx.com/
Tony Stark	Tuesday 13 November 2007 2:00:03 pm Yep, don't worry I have that support and dev route ;-) - i just wanted to get a feel for how possible it was so I can get my head around a piece of functionality I want developed. They will dev anything based on their experience not me. Is the new book in eBook format do you know - I could only see printed.
kracker (the)	Tuesday 13 November 2007 2:11:39 pm <i>Fantastic!</i> You are indeed well on your way! I know I could do it without question or hesitation :) Seriously. I would say it's foolish to seek an estimate in a forum in this manner as their are far too many factors to consider to mass solicit scope / cost in this fashion and receive accurate, useful and more important applicable feedback. For an experienced eZ Partner ... well. I'll leave that to them to estimate after a proper requirements analysis workshop. It's all a matter of time vs custom features. <i>//kracker Janes Addiction - Price I Pay (s/I/You/g)</i> Member since: 2001.07.13 \|\| http://ezpedia.se7enx.com/
Tony Stark	Tuesday 13 November 2007 2:16:57 pm Excellent, not so much a requirements/costing exercise..as this is not the forum for it...(it's also not good practice!) more a case of is it possible, will it work and does it make sense. I know the process / steps I need so its a start...thanks for the help so far!!!
Heath	Tuesday 13 November 2007 2:18:58 pm Hello Tony, <i>"Is the new book in eBook format do you know - I could only see printed."</i> Expect the pdf / ebook version of this book in the future. If you think about it publishers seek to sell a fixed number of copies of a book before offering a digital copy (which as we all know is more prone to being shared gratis) ... as a measure to protect the team of authors, publishers and supporting cast's investment. I would not expect it for at least another 6months but this is just a personal guess.

kracker (the)	Tuesday 13 November 2007 2:42:21 pm I think you could be served well by spending more time writing out more detailed, verbose and clear use case scenarios. Also your requirements could do with more or less the same + a rewritten summery at the beginning and end. You think it's clear and simple but it's not so extending your own time into clarifying 3x over will have the opportunity to communicate clearly to the target audience. <i>//kracker Nine Inch Nails - [With_Teeth] - All the Love in the World</i> Member since: 2001.07.13 \|\| http://ezpedia.se7enx.com/
