Implementing profile changing

The change profile Web page allows a user to view and modify personal information which they can then resubmit.

You typically implement a change profile Web page in several places:

  • Somewhere on your Web site add a "My Account" link which directs users to a page where they can update their profile information.
  • Include a link to this Web page in all e-mail messages that Audience Manager sends to the user.

A visitor or e-mail recipient can use this link to reach the login screen for changing their profile. The visitor or e-mail recipient then fills in an e-mail address and password and submits this information to see a form for changing profile information.

Implement or customize a change profile page as follows:

  • For ASP.NET Web sites: modify or customize the changeprofile.aspx and the changeprofile.aspx.cs pages and deploy them on your Web site
  • For JSP Web sites: modify or customize the changeprofile.jsp page and deploy it on your Web site

Add code to your Page Templates to insert subscription links in E-mails using the Modular Templating Framework.

Create a link in an e-mail to a change profile page as follows:
  • Add an AudienceManager_ChangeProfileURL method to the Dreamweaver Template in order to create a link to the Web page in which a new subscriber confirms their subscription. For example:
    <a href="@@AudienceManager_ChangeProfileURL@@">Click Here to change your profile</a>
  • Define a query string in the Change Profile Query String parameter of the Add Subscription URLs to Package Template Building Block, to define a query string to add to the Change Profile URL. The Change profile page URL is the URL of the Web page in which a subscriber can change their personal information and is defined in a Publication's Audience Management tab.
