I have an SQL database that has mostly personal contact information and usernames and passwords for over 2000 registered members of our club. I created a form so new members can input their information and save it to the database. It works perfectly. My problem is that as members move, or change their email, or phone number, or any other personal information, how do I create a "My Account" page so they can review their current information and EDIT existing information. Just about every website has this feature. What am I missing? Or better yet, how to I create this tool for my members?

This function is not available in x5.
I have set this post as an IDEA post so Incomedia knows your wishes.
Hopefully they can create it in the future, I know it's been asked before, so the more users ask for it the better it is.

@ Incomedia, please take this into serious consideration, I have seen this question many times before.
THX!

@James H, I agree, it must be integrated as soon as possible.

Such a feature is a "must" for a system that has user information stored. It is now possible that users can see their own orders. It is now time that users can edit their contact-information. And it is time that users can self-assign. It should be possible to only "accept" the user without having to upload from X5 - and a possibility to let the user REALLY self-assign by letting the system send a mail to the given e-mailaddress and be accepted via a click on a link in the mail. The admin should be able to choose : Admin accept OR user-accept via mail confirmation.
This is the normal in nearly all other systems today.
Kind regards

Totally agree.
Due to the lack of progress in this area, I have started to write my own members profile.
It is possible to get the details of the logged in person. You can then query your members database, using the email address (email must be unique) and retrieve their details for them to see and importantly to retrieve the primary id key, for later use. Thats the stage I am up to.
I am now writing the update details pages. In my case the member will be able to update individual pieces of data. Of course, thats when I feel like finishing the code.
Yes - this is a necessity - as is the instand download of digital media. X5 is great - but we need to work round those two probems - urgently.

I appreciate your answers and support for the importance of this capability. But I can't wait forever. If I don't here something within a day or two from Incomedia with a commitment to deliver the module soon, I'll be buying Dreamweaver. It has the capability and MORE. Plus, Abobe says I can create a content management system in Dreamweaver and export the code to an x5 HTML object. Damn, everyday it more money to pay for things that should be included in the first place!
Hello James
You could take a look at the free ADMIDIO member system. This system uses a MySql database. Users can register themselve, and they can maintain their own information.
I use the member-system and the download system here : http://c4dshow.com/
You can see the system integrated here : http://c4dshow.com/3d-figuren.html click on one of the left-menu's and you will see some model-thumbnails that can be clicked.
It is set up so free material can be downloaded by all, other m,aterial can only be downloaded if you are a logged-in member. There is check of/ limit set up, so each user can only download a specified amount (MB) and/or a specified number of downloads in a specified number of days ( rolling period )
You can try the ADMIDIO demo here : https://www.admidio.org/demo_en/adm_program/modules/announcements/announcements.php
You can log in as a user and as admin.
I don't know what you need the system for, but you could maybe take a look at the system.
In the new version ( 3.3 ) that is coming soon, there will be an outstanding system for participation of events.
It is possible in the present version but it will be enhanced.
You can create an event, and for this event you can set how many people that can participate. You can set an end date for participating the event, and you can set if ( and how many ) you are allowed to bring guests.
The system has a simple chat system and it has an intern mail-system ( members can communicate with each others within an intern mail-system )
Kind regards

And - the system has a very advanced import-function for importing "members" from other systems.
