Custom profile/member page

Permalink
Trying to make a custom profile page but the copy of it in the root folder is not seen by the system. I also tried making a path to the controller off the root without any luck.

Source file: \concrete\single_pages\members\profile.php
Custom file: \single_pages\members\profile.php

Also tried including the support files (directory.php & view.php) no luck

Also tried to copy the controller:
Source file: \concrete\controllers\single_page\members\profile.php
To: \controllers\single_page\members\profile.php

Any ideas?

I think this add-on will fit your needs:http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/user-info1...
It's a very flexible add-on.

I was not fishing to buy a new block... I'm developing a custom profile page and Concrete5 only sees the copy in the concrete5 folder. So I am forced to modify the core version.

It looks like you package only contains a block... no custom profile page. Do you sell a lot by trolling people in the forums?

Since you're posting in the 5.7 Discussion forum I'll assume you're using concrete5.7 or higher.

If you want to override the profile view file you simply copy \concrete\single_pages\profile.php to \application\single_pages\members\profile.php.

You should make sure that when you do this you disable overrides cache (index.php/dashboard/system/optimization/cache) while you're developing and make sure to clear your cache files so that you can see any changes you make.

Thanks! I was incorrectly making a "single_pages" folder off the root

Ya honest mistake. In versions before 5.7 the single_pages directory used to be off the root. As of the new release though all of those were moved under application. Guessing you stumbled across some older documentation when you tried to make the change.

Glad you got it working.
