- Where do you store user information?
- All permanent records are maintained in a mysql or postgresql database.
We also store information about logged in users in a separate table. However this information
is transient.
- Does Rad User Manager use Cookies?
- We do not store usernames
passwords or other sensitive information in cookies.
Our software uses a session identifier and stores all information about logged in users
in a database. Depending on your server's configuration the session identifier may be
stored in a cookie or it may be 'urlencoded' into each url.
- Can I change the user interface for Rad User Manager?
Can I customize the look and feel of the User Manager Software?
-
We have used a template based system which allows you to completely change the
appearance of the Rad User Manager with out having to edit any PHP code. In fact a
skilled web designer with a good HTML knowledge can completely change the look and
feel of your installation of Rad User Manger.
- How do I prevent user sign up with bogus data?
- We have an option where all new users are sent an email asking them to confirm their
subscription. While it does not completely prevent users from entering bogus information on
the sign up form, it will at least ensure that all accounts do have a valid email address
associated with it. You can see it in action in our members area.
- Does Rad User Manager come with a Mailing List Component?
- No. However the database does contain a field to store user's newsletter subscription
settings.
- What Items of personal data are gathered from the user? are these
fields customizable
-
The Rad User manager by default gathers the user's postal and email addresses, phone numbers
etc. You can generally add/remove from this field list by changing a few lines of code.
- Can I see a demo?
- Yes. The members section on our website makes use of a customized version of the
Rad User Manager. You can sign up and login to get an idea about how
the software functions. The User Manger also has an
administration module which can be
used by site owners to manage their members. Though we do no have a demo of the
admin module at this time you can still see some screen shots from
this section.
- Can I get the source code to the User Manager?
- Certainly. The product is available under an open source license.
- Rad Inks site has a shopping cart is it part of the User Manager?
- No. The shopping cart is a separate software that was developed in house. The shopping cart
is not included with the user manager.
- Can I see the docs before I download your product?
- You can see the Configuration guide and the
Customization guide in the online docs
- I have used another technology instead of PHP to build my site, can I still use Rad User Manager?
- It is not recommended.
- What databases can I use?
- The earlier versions of the product only supported mySQL. With version 2.90 we added experimental support for PostgreSQL as well. You can download mysql from it's website
at http://www.mysql.org and postgres from http://www.postgresql.org.
- How can I make a certain page members only?
How can I restrict access to areas of my website?
- Include the files from the User Manger into your php script and call the
is_logged() method. This function will return the userId if the visitor is logged into
the website. Please refer to some of the scripts included with the download for examples.
- So how much do I have to pay to download this product?
- Nothing.
