    Hi there

    I need some help designing my website. I know that there is a way to create your on forms, but I would like to go a step further to create much more specified forms. I will present you two ideas I had and I would like to hear if that’s possible at all and if so, how it would be accomplished in the best way.

    1. Credits
    I want to create my own credit system. Those credits are used as a currency. I want to have displayed the amount of the credits in the users profile. Is it possible to create a form that takes data from the database? (where the information of the amount of credits is stored)
    So it would then show Credit amount: [credit amount from Database], which varies for all users.

    2. Timetables
    I would like that every user has his own customizable timetable. This timetable will show red and green fields (red = busy, green = available). The user should be able to make changes on this timetable on his my account page. Other users should be allowed to see this timetable on the profile of the user (and later also interact with the table).

    Is it possible to create such forms (that take non-UM data from the database), or would it be possible to create my own extensions that with the above-mentioned features?
    Which way to go is possible, which way can you suggest?

    PS: I know there are already extensions for plugins such as myCRED, but I would prefer to have my own credit system.

    Sorry I might have misused the nomenclature of the plugin. What I want to customize are not the forms per se – I like to stick with login, registration and profile -, but I would like to customize the elements that you can implement in the forms (e.g. username, first name, last name, date of birth, and so on.)

    Hi,

    What you are looking to create is very specific and UM does not have the functionality you are looking for. I think you may struggle to find any plugin that offers everything you are looking for.

    You can add custom fields to UM forms though if that is what you are asking about in relation to UM functionality.

    Thanks

    Hi, thanks for your reply!

    Let’s say I know someone who can code, could he code an extension for the plugin himself that provides these features? Or do you think UM is not suitable at all for my plans?

    Kind regards,

    I think for the functionality you are looking for you may want to look at custom solution and then just use UM for the profile aspect.
