Question How would I setup an editable about me section on my web pages using member variables?
Answer
Setup a Member Variable
To do this go to member variables page (/admin/membervariables) and add a member variable for the about me section
Add it to a Page
Inside of an editable WYSIWYG section of a page add the code ~var#~ where you want the content to appear. Be sure to get the correct code where # is replaced with the number of the member variable. You can get the correct code either from the member variables page or from "View/Info" -> "Dynamic Info (~~)" in the page editor.
Test it Out
Go to the members page (/admin/members) and login as a member. Go to their profile (/admin/profile) and enter a value for their about me section. Then view the member's page where you added the member variable ~~ code and you will see the content there.
A.To link variable to facebook page URL, replace Facebook page name with variable code in the Wysiwyg editor.
www.facebook.com/~VARCODE~ // VARCODE to be replaced with your variable code as follows
Copy variable code from member variables page
Also you can display all available variables already created from Edit pages-> Click on the page you want to edit -> View/Info -> Dynamic info (~~) All variables will be listed at the right panel.
A. You can add input fields for members to add a value on the resource page. For example, if you are promoting a program you can easily add ~~ code below text or a video you make and then the ~~ is replaced with a form for a member to put their username for the program being promoted.
Tilde Codes to Use
~membervar#form~
Complete form with save button
~membervar#input~
An individual form field. Used when adding multiple inputs. You need to add a button with type="submit" to save the changes.
A. No, member variables do not search upline if the parent is suspended, but instead shows the variable the parent has set, or the default if they do not have anything set.
From there it is about half way down under the section "Member Spotlight".
When turned on you have the option to select the member and enter a description. The member's name, profile image, and description will appear on members area home page (/admin) for all of the members. If it does not appear then the code ~memberspotlight~ needs to be added into the html template file for the page located at /adminpages/index.html
A. The best way is to setup member variables for each of the buttons, so members can put their own values for them on the my personal info page. After that, you can put the buttons on a landing page or in the resources page for the members to visit and join at. Please read our member variables training guide to learn more about how to do this.
