Developing Custom Member Area


#1

@limedaring

Hi Tracy,

I have been searching everywhere but there seems to be no definitive answer regarding the creation of a secure member area(not the Django admin area) within the app for actions like user updates for bio, photo, social profiles updates etc… Would you be able to shed a little light the direction I what I would need research to accomplish this?

Thank you…
Chuck

Sounds like a typical app that has profiles (which is pretty much the Hello Web App tutorial) and then you just need to make sure that the templates can only be viewed once logged in (the @login_required decorator on your view should be used.) So basically, build a model for your member pages, have registration and login pages, and then build edit pages that allow people to update their details like you mentioned. All of these bits are described in HWA. :)
