PersonalisationAccessing the user profile
WebTML and TMLScript provide many ways to access the user profile in OpenWGA design.
One way to store data to the user profile is to use a WebTML form with attribute source set to "profile". The inputs defined inside the form will get stored as items to the profile when the default action $store is invoked on it.
<tml:form id="profiledata" source="profile">
Your name: <tml:input name="name"/><br>
Your date of birth: <tml:input name="birthdate" type="date"/><br>
<tml:button clickaction="$save">Save</tml:button>
</tml:form>
Profile items can be retrieved using <tml:item type="profile"/>:
Welcome back, <tml:item name="name" type="profile"/> !
In TMLScript the object TMLUserProfile "this.profile" represents the profile of the current user and can be used to retrieve and store profile items:
profile.setItem("verified", true);
return profile.item("username");
Modifications done directly to the user profile in TMLScript are stored automatically at the end of the request.
Just like content documents a user profile also has metadata fields, offering some general data about it. See the Metadata of type="profile" for a reference of available fields. They can be retrieved using WebTML tag <tml:metadata type="profile"/> or TMLScript methods profile.meta() / profile.metaList().
