Guillaume Dablin	Tuesday 28 July 2009 9:42:29 am Hello, I made some forms allowing user to input some data (like "contact information" by example) and I would like to give to the users the possibility to modify/update these information. I'm working on that point since few days and I'm still not able to perform it. Does anybody have a solution to do so ? Many thanks in advance for your help.
Ivo Lukac	Tuesday 28 July 2009 9:51:25 am Collected data is not suited for modification. It is just for gathering information. If your users need to modify their contact information then the easiest way is to make a link to edit their user object (user class needs to be modified to meet the needs). How to make link to user object you can find in design/standard/templates/user/ folder. There are few templates covering these functionalities. http://www.linkedin.com/in/ivolukac http://www.netgen.hr/eng/blog http://twitter.com/ilukac

Now, I succeed to give the possibility to a user to modify a given object. Nevertheless, I have now another difficulty about that. I don't know how to populate the edit template with the relevant data. Beside this, looking at the code of the edit template, I don't understand the variables that are used into it and, as a consequence, I don't understand how to manipulate them (moreover I was not able to find documentation about it). Any ideas about that ? Many thanks in advance for your help.
