Not sure if anyone has been on the Alumni Pages lately, if so you have noticed a change. I recently developed my own self-managed database and pages for the Alumni Registry. I've finished with the data migration of the entire 'off-site' Alumni database into it and now have complete control over the database, front-end forms and application through my MySql databases and PHP coding. It is on a different page than before www.f-106deltadart.com/databases/f-106alumni/f106alumni_list.php but even if the original url page is click it will automatically redirect to the new page, so if you have the url link stored somewhere, no worries. One of the best things about developing this myself is I can allow each and every Alum to have their own personal account to edit their data record. You can login with your account to edit your data, and only your data, as needed. The migration did not automatically create user accounts for all the registered alumni. Anyone new will automatically get an account assigned to their new data record, but current data records do not get that automatic option. But, there is a solution! Just go on the site and Register to create your user account. You can reach it from a button on the page listed above or directly by this link www.f-106deltadart.com/databases/f-106alumni/register.php. After you create your account just let me know and I will go into the database and assign your user account to your data record. Then you can open and edit your data. Do Not just create a new record! I have enough duplicates in there already to weed out. Let me know if there are any problems. Here is a quick guide to show how to find the number of Alumni of a specific unit. Attachment Deleted |

OK MOW. I registered and I hope it did not create a new record.
Question:
Do you plan to have a field for screen name (or is that a no-no for security reasons)?
Just curious. We used to have a problem with prior software versions when a member forgot their username and just created a new one which may have led to duplicates.
Thanks,
Pat P.

Got it Pat, and Jim and Jim Too and everyone else who registered thus far. Nope, no new records created, just a user account, which I have linked to your individual records. You mean your username? To show in your profile or that you're logged on? Currently I show your actual name as being logged on, although I could change that to have it show your username. But that wouldn't help in the use case you refer to if you forget your username. Let me look into it. |

Ok, I added a "Forgot username or password" link where you can enter your email address, the one you registered with, and it will send you your username and password.

For you IE users... is the Login screen form background color Blue or White? It's suppose to be white like it shows in Firefox, but for some reason IE is loosing the stylesheet and defaults it to blue. Or... maybe it's just me.

Yea, the Alumni Registration screen. It still works and you can see it ok, but I need to fix it. I like my stylesheet that shows up in FF. |

Yea, the Alumni Registration screen. It still works and you can see it ok, but I need to fix it. I like my stylesheet that shows up in FF. It's displaying incorrectly in IE for 1 of 2 reasons: 1) The antique IE8 and earlier don't handle all the PHP codes the same as newer IE browsers 2) Compatibility mode is turned on If you turn off compatibility mode in IE or exclude the site from your IE compatibility mode list and it works ok. |

Did you create a User Account for the Alumni page yet? This is a new process, so anything you did before is mute. And you don't use the same account as you have here, the Alumni is a new database, not the Forums. Go to www.f-106deltadart.com/databases/f-106alumni/f106alumni_list.php and click the Join the Registry (Create Account) button |
