Hi,
I really need some advice or feedback. I have developed a registration form using UCanUse 2.7 (in DNN3). I love being able to customize the form and its questions but now I must do something with the data entered. (I have posted this issue on the UCanUse forum as well but due to a lack of responses, I'm trying here too.)
On my site, I will have members belong to various “categories” based on what they entered during the registration process. Picture a “staff” database containing different categories, positions or skills, etc.
I need to create
- a public profile template and
- put it in the various sections (i.e. categories used) on the site.
- Each member that selected a particular category should be displayed in a “list” in each relevant section.
- In the profile template itself, I want to be able to pick and choose what info to include from the registration as well as
- creating a suitable layout.
I searched the UCanUse forum for info about this but only found a few relevant postings. One of them mentioned using XSLT to develop something similar. I took a close look at XSLT today and it does seem like a pretty straight forward approach (coding-wise) to use. I am, however, unaware of any limitations or how to approach it using components in UA 2.7 (syntax, calls, etc).
Questions:
- Has anyone done anything similar to what I have described above?
- Is anyone aware of any sample code or reference materials?
- Based on the XSLT approach, all samples I’ve seen so far deal with flat file systems. Is there support for SQL queries (or whatever one needs to use to populate the profile template)?
Please forgive me if this information already exists somewhere but I couldn’t find it.
I would appreciate any advice, ideas, feedback or further questions regarding clarification.
Thank you very much!
