Hi,

Making packs was never finished, the interface is not suitable for external users. You can use Ctrl+Shift+D to access the non-documented developer-only interface used to create them, but you won't be able to use it as it is, unfortunately.

I can't access the non-documented developer-only interface by Ctrl+Shift+D.

Where do I have to press Ctrl+Shift+D in OE?

General User Interface?

Main Menu?

The site explorer?

Element Explorer?

Editing pane?

Element and Styles Menu?

Quick Access Toolbar?

I did it in everywhere but I couldn't.

On any element or on a page. But you should be on a PHP page (to set in the Page menu -> Server scripts

Thank you, I got it.
It looks complicated but I will post the result after modifying.
It is French~ so, I have to learn French first.... Big smile

By the way, is it a modification of php page, isn't it?
Not to make pack file (*.PK1 file such as 60---Element--Show-user-.pk1)?

To create a Pack from a page or selected elements, it's Ctrl+Shift+P (I believe).

I appreciate a lot your interest in the matter, and I really regret I never could have finished this part to make it available for users. There are too many things to be aware of to be able to clreate anything more or less complex. It was a lot of work and never enough time. We will see in the future.

Dmit, I appreciate your kind feedback for my questions.

Please let me ask one more thing about user level.

#60: 'Show User' element in UserSpace01 has feature that can define access level to user such as 1, 5, and 10.
But there is no field in (#30: For 'New Account' page) but in (#40: For 'Edit Profile' page)

How can I put this field in 'New Account' page in order to set the level during registering?

Thank you!

DJ

The idea is that the one who creates his account cannot choose his level of access, it's up to administrator to do it.

You can if you wish make your own access control, for example use the "info" field to store the data you need (you can add a dropdown and put its value into the hidden "info" field using JavaScript) then, using the pack 70, get the value in the info field (again with JavaScript) and act accordingly. If you need to be sure that the page can't be opened at all (so JavaScript is no option), you can see the generated page source to find the code that writes the "info" value, and use it in your own PHP code block... It gets a little complicated.
