Editing profile issues

@ Reed

I’m not able to replicate this issue on the site using my test user account shazahm1. When I make an edit, it gives me the message saying my edit is awaiting moderation and allows me to make further edits as it should while still staying in the in the mod queue, as it should. I am able to edit this entry as much as I wish and it is still linked.

Are there specific users that I can test to see this issue? And, may I install user switcher so I can switch to their accounts?

Just tried it w/ george too and it worked. I used the bild new profile page w/ Form and then went to the edit page and it was linked as expected. I was able to edit the entry further w/o losing the link.

Question, when you’re testing, are you adding an email address? You need to add the email address, that is what Link uses to create a match. That’s the only thing I can think of why it would not being working for you. The next version of Form will really improve the workflow for you because it’ll support front end editing if you have link installed. It’ll be release along w/ the next version of Connections within the next two months.

Yes, an email is required. You can avoid the trouble by redirecting to the admin directory profile page rather than using Form. The intent with Form is to accept directory submissions from site visitor, not users. This is why you do not see more synergy between Link and Form, they were designed for two different distinct purposes. Many other users are doing what your doing which is why the next update to Form will be Link aware and allow adding/editing of a users entry using Form in the frontend rather than having to visit the admin page. Right now, the only way to make Form require an email is to edit it so an email field is ready to to accept input without having to click the add button.
