The members' Account & Settings page
The page behind the [pvl_my_profile] shortcode is where a member looks after their own record, so the club does not have to. It is laid out as a list of sections down the left with one section open at a time, rather than one long scroll.
Sections that a member cannot use are not shown at all rather than shown greyed out — the list is built from what is actually on the page, so a club on a plan without membership cards simply has no Membership card entry.
Common questions
- Can I link straight to one section?
- Yes. Add the section name to the end of the address — for example
/my-profile/#detailsor/my-profile/#notifications. The section names are account, card, membership, details, calendar and notifications. This is worth using in a renewal email: send people to the section you want them to fix, not to the top of the page. - A member says they only see one section.
- That is how it works — the rest are behind the list on the left, or along the top on a phone. If they genuinely see nothing but the first section and no list at all, JavaScript is being blocked, in which case the page falls back to showing every section one after another so nothing becomes unreachable.
- Why can a member not change their own email address?
- They can, in My details, and it changes their sign-in address too. What they cannot change is their membership number or type, because those are the club’s record of them rather than their own details.
- It looks squashed on a phone.
- Below about 820 pixels the section list moves from the left-hand side to a row of tabs along the top that scrolls sideways. If it looks wrong, the usual cause is a theme forcing its own width onto the page — try the page template rather than the theme default.
- Does the page remember where I was?
- Yes, for the rest of the browsing session. Coming back to the page reopens the section you last had open, which saves hunting for it again after saving something.
