Custom Users Settings (OrchardCore.User.CustomUserSettings)¶
Custom Users Settings allow a site administrator to create a customized set of properties for a given user.
Creating Custom User Settings¶
Custom User Settings are organized in sections. Each section is represented by a Content Type with the CustomUserSettings stereotype.
When creating such a section, remember to disable Creatable, Listable, Draftable and Securable metadata as they don't apply.
Warning
Don't mark any existing Content Type with this CustomUserSettings stereotype, as this will break existing content items of this type.
Custom User Settings are then comprised of parts and fields like any other content type.
Once created, open the Setting menu item and each of these sections should appear alongside the module-provided ones.
Usage¶
Liquid¶
The Custom User Settings are available when loading the user from the database.
{% assign user = User | user_id | users_by_id %}
{{user.Properties}}
For instance for a custom settings section named UserProfile, with a TextField named FirstName would be accessible using {{ user.Properties.UserProfile.UserProfile.FirstName.Text }}.
Placement¶
By default each Custom User Settings Content Type is placed in a tab.
To adjust the placement, for example, to move the setting out of the tab, use the Differentiator of CustomUserSettings-PartDefinitionName.
{
"CustomUserSettings": [
{
"place": "Content:10#Content",
"differentiator": "CustomUserSettings-UserProfile"
}
]
}
User Section Display Driver¶
You may also extend the User properties by implementing a SectionDisplayDriver<User, UserProfile> where User is the type of entity to be edited,
and UserProfile is the property to extend the User entity with.
