Change personal settings


This How-to is intended for: Registered Users, Content Managers

How to change personal settings such as password and email address.

You can manage some of the settings that relate to how you interact with the website when you are logged in.

When you first join the site, and login, the introduction page will give a link to your personal preferences.

Any other time that you have logged in, there will be a user menu in the top left of the page showing your username and a logout link.

Personal Menu

Clicking on your username will take you to a dashboard with various options. One of them is personal preferences. Clicking on personal preferences will open a list of personalization options. The choices include change your password, or you can go to the personal preferences and change key preferences in your site.

The personal preferences form allows you to set a number of preferences that change how you see the site. These preferences are stored on the server so they’re retained between uses of the site. The options are:

  • Full name: This is the full name you gave when you registered with the site.
  • E-mail: This is the e-mail address associated with your membership and is used a number of places in a gateway site. Most important, if you lose or forget your password, this is the address to which the system will send it.  If you change your email address, please ensure you alter it in your preferences.
  • Content editor: When editing body text, the default is to have the content editor working. The editor to select is KUPU for these sites. If you do not want to use the editor, change this option to 'none'
  • Listed status: This property specifies whether your profile will show up on the members tab and when someone searches the members listing.
  • Portrait: The Portrait field allows you to upload a picture of yourself. The picture should be 75 by 100 pixels. This is probably not worth worrying about as few will be able to access this.

Once you’ve made the desired changes, click the Save button to commit the changes.
