Hi - I've downloaded the latest version of the forum and had hoped that the Member API functionality had been updated so that the user could update their details and preferances without being given the opportunity to change their password or email.  Obviously, if they are allowed to do this, both of the site's databases will be out of sync.  I have tried to disable the relevant controls on register.asp by testing against blnMemberApi and strMode, but am having no luck (I'm obviously missing some code which tests against the password or email value.  Do you have any suggestions?]]> Sat, 30 Dec 2006 17:32:41 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/disable-user-info-changes-on-forum_topic20526_post118884.html#118884 <![CDATA[Disable user info changes on forum : Not at the present time, but as...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/disable-user-info-changes-on-forum_topic20526_post113583.html#113583 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

Not at the present time, but as the member API is presently quite new more work is going to be done on it for the next version from user feedback.]]> Mon, 04 Sep 2006 10:38:47 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/disable-user-info-changes-on-forum_topic20526_post113583.html#113583 <![CDATA[Disable user info changes on forum : Just came across this thread while...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/disable-user-info-changes-on-forum_topic20526_post113569.html#113569 Author: lostcontrol

Just came across this thread while searching for more info on the Members API.

I get the same issue where the password fields are still visible in the user's profile when then API is activated.

Furthermore, I have noticed that even though the API logs the user without any problems, when I try to log in as usual in the forum it wont work.

It seems that when information is sent over to the forum through the API the password is not updated correctly.

Any idea what might be wrong?

If the member API is activated this option should be already disabled and hidden.]]> Tue, 04 Jul 2006 12:01:03 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/disable-user-info-changes-on-forum_topic20526_post110108.html#110108 <![CDATA[Disable user info changes on forum : So even though the form shows...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/disable-user-info-changes-on-forum_topic20526_post110091.html#110091 Author: paix120

So even though the form shows up that allows them to change their password, it won't actually get changed? So should I just hide the input box for it?]]> Tue, 04 Jul 2006 08:09:53 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/disable-user-info-changes-on-forum_topic20526_post110091.html#110091 <![CDATA[Disable user info changes on forum : When the member API is enabled...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/disable-user-info-changes-on-forum_topic20526_post110055.html#110055 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

When the member API is enabled the user is not able to change their password from within the forum system.

The mail address of the user is not passed across to web wiz forums, so if you wanted to change this and disable the user from then changing their email address you would need to modify the code somewhat.

Hello,
 
Sorry to ask another question! This forum is great, the best I've found for customizing, and I'm excited to use all of the features!
 
Anyway, I know you can disable new users from registering on the forum if you are using the member API and the new accounts are created from the website code. However, is there a way to disable profile changes?
 
For instance, I don't want the users changing their password or email address on the forum without it also being changed in my website database. Is the best way just to make those fields hidden on the forum forms and redirect them to my profile page for them to edit the fields? Or is there a better way?
 
Thanks!
