I'm new at Drupal, so I may have missed a solution despite a lot of research: I want users to be able to invite non-users and other users into a named relationship they've set up (using e.g. the Friendlist or User Relationships module) using only email addresses and not the user list. I believe that invitations from both of those modules are done only after the inviter selects the invitee after selecting the invitee from a list of all users. Frankly, I would be surprised if no email solution exists since a large site's user list would be daunting. Does anyone know if this is possible using Organic Groups? Thanks very much.
You can use the Invite module at http://drupal.org/project/invite and turn on the User Relationships Invite plugin. Now, you will have a Relationship field in your invite form and you can invite by email.

I'm working on a product being targeted to companies with employees. We get a collection of employee emails to which we need to register them for an account on our firebase platform.
Ideally what I'd like to do is use this data to create all the user accounts on firebase then email them all a unique magic key to verify their registration and let them input a password.
Unfortunately I'm a bit stuck on making the magic link custom tailored to the users email. Looking at firebases dynamic link creator it doesn't look like there's a way to create a dynamic magic link where I can input something unique about the user account to later identify them after they click on it to give them the correct onboarding platform.
Any ideas how I could accomplish this?
You can create tailored Firebase Dynamic Links for each of your users. If you creating links server side, check out REST API https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/rest .
For example in this long dynamic link https://abc123.app.goo.gl/?link=https://example.com/&apn=com.example.android&ibi=com.example.ios the deep link is https://example.com/. You can use deep link looking like https://example.com/invite_user?user_id=<here unique user id>.
You may need to check out Firebase Authentication https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/ as well. Better to create separate question for each step you seeking advise.
Guys I want to craete a list of users called Suggested users or users you may know for a particular user,i have a field called Area of interest in user account,so i wuld like to list users who have same value for Area of interest field with current users, I am not very good at relationship and contextual filters

Does anyone with DotNetNuke have experience with downloadable content with a shopping cart?
There is a client using CatalooK as their shopping cart. They sell user manuals for a range of car models (one car has multiple user manuals in different languages) but did some test and this is we found so far:
If we have all the downloadable manuals users in the ‘All Users’ role will have access to all the downloadable content by anyone
When a user registers (either from the Login page, or through purchasing a product from the cart), a user account is automatically created for them and are assigned the role as ‘Registered Users’. This solves the problem of having all users access to the content – can just change the permission for the downloadable items to only display for 'Registered User' only
However, anyone can register themselves on the website and automatically be assigned a ‘Registered Users’ role, therefore getting access to the manuals without having paid for them
A step further would be to require the manual adding of user accounts to a new role called ‘Downloads’ which would be the only users within the 'Downloads’ role to have access to the downloadable manuals
Problem here is, if a user purchases 1 downloadable item and they are added to the ‘Downloads’ role, they will also be given access to all of the other downloadable manuals – as they are in the same role
So I guess the workable solution would be to create a new role for every car model to allow people in each car model role access to the downloads – which would also mean manually adding the role of every group purchased to that user’s accounts.
Anyone have any experience or alternatives to this to make it more automated and secure?
Basically no body has access to the downloads unless you have purchased the products.
Upon purchasing some shopping carts send you an email with a unique link to the downloadable so they can access it that way. In your situation you also want them to be able to see the documents on the site at anytime after purchasing them, which makes sense.
Catalook has a 'Your Orders' module, does that show you the document or electronic item you purchased? That might be an option.
But worst case, I guess you can implement your 1 role per product. Sounds like a lot of work though! Or, do some custom :]coding.
Based on your situation the cart I use the most DNNspot (mine) - it would be similar to Catalook. Where you would need to create a role per product. Or use the orders module to show your previous orders which would link to your document you bought.
How good is your SQL? You could use the core DNN 'reports module' If you analyze the database and orders table - with a little bit of SQL you could setup a custom Report and maybe solve this.
This is very interesting an challenging. probably, this is not supported by catalook store module by default. If you are looking to implement a new simple module, there are some simple solutions to this.
Using personalization: you can use dnn's personalization provider to store user products. initially empty, and as user purchases the products, you can add comma separated list of productid to maintain it smartly. check that values back to validate downloads
Using custom user profile property and use it in same way as [1] above
Email option suggested by #Ryan is good option when you want to allow users to download manually only via email links. But again, you will still need to validate if a user is allowed to download that product or not that you can achieve via the above suggestions.
Let me know if you need more help with this, I have good experience to deal with catalook specific small modules for such extensions.
Happy coding
I have a tricky requirement where I need to categorise documents attached to a product, available for download, based on the status of the user viewing the product. I.e. my site displays a list of products, clicking on one displays a product details page, and this page includes a list a documents related to the product, such as data sheets, user manuals, etc.
I have been asked to group documents into three classes of availability, v.i.z. those available freely to all users, including anonymous; those available to logged on users; and those available to anonymous users that provide contact information before downloading the document, presumably to boost sales leads.
The anonymous and logged on availabilities are quite easy, but the third seems a bit tricky to me. My first question is, is there a way I can filter documents for only logged on users without hooking into ItemDataBound or something, and my second question is, what is recommended for the case where a user must supply contact information to download a document?
In the second question, it has crossed my mind to actually register the user, but without them having to visit the new user registration page, and then I have role based filtering of documents. Currently the new user registration process automatically adds the Member role to all new users. Users I register 'quietly', just so they can download a document, wont be assigned the Member role, distinguishing them from normally logged on members. What other approaches could I take?
A lot of this implementation will depend on exactly what you want to accomplish and how you go about doing it.
For example, if I don't have access to the document, should I see the link?
If your implementation is that all users should be able to see it, but that the actual act of 'getting it' is dependent upon the individual role or membership, you could solve it fairly easy by implementing a "handler" to download the secured documents, that way you are not presenting a direct file link. That handler could then validate security, if they were not allowed, it could then take them to the login or register page as needed.
If the users don't see the documents until they meet the requirement, I would then filter BEFORE you bind to your repeater.
I want to create a website with various users. The users can have different roles, admin and user, which is a very well documented situation. But I would like to also group the users on their location, so at each location I can have both admins and users. - A multi dimensional role system?
The reason is, that users in Germany should have access to a certain set of documents, while the Italian users shouldn't.
Where should I look for documentation on this specific topic? I need some way to limit my search, maybe some keywords.
A different approach would be to add another set of roles, corresponding with the different locations available, for example Germany and Italy. You then make all German users members of the Germany role, and the German admins members of both Germany and Admin. When checking permissions, you then check both for Admin and for the current locale.
Remember, one user can have many roles.
First of all, please see the very excellent tutorial series on 4GuysFromRolla: https://web.archive.org/web/20210513220018/http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/120705-1.aspx
Secondly, the built in Role Provider is extremely rudimentary. You associate a user with a string (role) and that's pretty much it. There's no heirarchy or additional properties that you associate with the role, unless you pack in into the string (role name).
You might want to look at custom profile properties. MSDN
