Is it possible in Symphony CMS to update Subsection Manager field entries in a frontend member form?


Backend:

backend Subsection manager

Frontend:

frontend members section

What I'm trying to accomplish is a front-end form that allows members to update their phone numbers on file. Phone numbers are stored in their own section and attached to a member record via subsection manager in the backend.

Solution

  • My initial answer sort of worked but it was reinventing the wheel. Symphony's Events can handle the scenario I jotted out above. By using the native event behavior you don't have to recode the user feedback etc.

    I highly recommend this article (slightly dated) by @Brendo.

    Note: references to self::ROOTELEMENT is deprecated you should use $this->ROOTELEMENT instead.
