MypageGuide

The My Page Guide is a quick overview of how to modify some of the standard settings behind your account.

My Page has the basic settings for your account with phpWebsite. Here you can change your display name, your account password, the e-mail address associated with the account and several other options.

To reach the My Page tab, simply go to your Control Panel and it should be the last tab on the list.

On the first tab that will be open, the Users tab, you can change your personal data. This includes the name that will be displayed for you on your site, as well as your password and the e-mail address associated with your website. You can also change your primary language preference and the time zone for your website.

The next tab is the Layout tab, however as of right now there are no alternative layout selections to choose here.

The third tab is the Notes tab. Here you can send notes to other users of your phpWebSite. You can also receive notes here. To send a note, simply click on Send Note, enter the username of who you want to send it to, a title and then your message and finally click Send note when you are finished. Note: You must set Permissions for users to be able to have access to the Note tab, more about this at the bottom of the page.

The final tab is the comment settings. Here you can set an avatar that will appear next to any comments you leave on your site (such as replies to blogs). You can also set a contact e-mail, this will also be associated with any comments you leave on the site and does not have to be the same as the e-mail you use for administrating the site.

Don't forget to check out the Administration Guide and the Content Guide to get started building and modifying your website!

Permissions: Notes

All modules have a set of permissions that can be set to allow a user/user group or users/user groups to have different access to each module. These options are available through the User Administration module and you can learn more about permissions in the Permissions Guide. The Notes module allows you to give users none or unrestricted permission. If users are given unrestricted permission, they will be able to have full access to the module the same as you do as the site administrator. If they are given no permission, they will not be able to modify the module. You can also give permission for user name searching in the notes.
