How to Let Users Edit their User Profile

This feature is available in Broadcast Pro and Broadcast Enterprise only.

You can add a page to your simulation that allows users to change their account information and password.  This is implemented with special User Profile Form Fields.  

First, you will need to create a password-protected simulation and create some users.

Next, create a file profile.htm with the following HTML:

 
<html>
<head>
<title>Edit Your User Profile</title>
</head>

<body>

<h1>Edit Your User Profile</h1>
<P><B>Please edit your user information below:</B></P>

<form method="POST" action="index.htm">

<P><input type="text" size="15" name="FD_profile_first_name" value="$!User.FirstName">
<input type="text" size="15" name="FD_profile_last_name" value="$!User.LastName">
<BR>Name
<P><input type="text" size="30" name="FD_profile_email" value="$!User.Email">
<BR>Email

<P><input type="password" size="10" name="FD_profile_password" value="">
<BR>Enter a new password (or leave blank to keep password the same)
<P><input type="submit" name="submitbtn" value="Change User Profile">

</form>

</body>
</html>
 

 

When the user navigates to this page, they will see something similar to the following.  They may now use this page to edit their name, email, and (optionally) their password.
