Confusion with user account manager

[kingsult]

Hi,

I have received feedback from users regarding the user account manager.

When they log in to modify their ad, they tend to click on the ad. And then realize that they got it wrong and actually needed to go to manage my items.

Is it possible to merge the two pages in the next release ? It will make life easier as the only difference between the two screens is the Edit/Delete and Activate button.

Maybe we could have something like:

Apartment for rent

Publication date: January 5, 2011
Price: USD 1000.00
View | Edit | Delete | Activate
X views

Thanks

I agree I think that the user section should be simplified like kingsult is suggesting.

Kingsult I found a quick fix for now you could modify the header.php file line 29 to

Code: [Select]

<strong><a href="<?php echo osc_user_list_items_url() ; ?>"><?php _e('My account', 'modern') ; ?></a></strong> &middot;
That way when your users click on my account they will be taken to the listing of there items instead of seeing the dashboard right away.

Hi,


I also agree. You're right, and I regret not doing that before. It's a theme problem, so the better fix is the one suggested by trains58554 or to copy the content of user-items.php over the user-dashboard.php  (make a backup before, I didn't test it!)

Thanks

Thanks Trains man !

It works...
The only thing that would make it perfect is to get there when you log in. Any idea how to do it ?

@CONEJO
Good idea to replace the pages. But I will pass on this one... ;-)
Is the proposal for the account manager on the requirements lists for 2.2 ?

You can change that in the login.php file located osclass install /login.php

change line 72 to this

Code: [Select]

$this->redirectTo( osc_user_list_items_url() ) ;

Hi,

I've already made the changes and they're in the development branch now. Now in the dashboard you have a short list of the latest ads you published and the options to activate it, edit and view. I remove the delete option since it's a bit dangerous to put it there (een it has a JS confirmation window). The process to delete an item is still the same. Your account -> manage items -> delete.  Edit & Validate them could be done from user's dashboard and/or item management panel.
