About userprofile
-----------------

userprofile is a Pluggable application for TurboGears2 which provides a basic user
profile page with forms to allow users to edit their own profile or change their password.

This is a fork born to provide validation to the existing pluggable, but introduces
breaking changes. the password is now on the same form, you can now set the avatar,
your users must confirm their email if they change it.


Installing
----------

userprofile can be installed both from pypi or from github::

    pip install tgapp-userprofile-validated

should just work for most of the users

Plugging userprofile
--------------------

In your application *config/app_cfg.py* import **plug**::

    from tgext.pluggable import plug

Then at the *end of the file* call plug with userprofile::

    plug(base_config, 'userprofile')

You will be able to access your profile at
*http://localhost:8080/userprofile*.

Options
-------

``tgapp-userprofile`` supports some options that can be passed
to the ``plug`` method to customize various aspects of the application:

- ``user_partial`` - Path of a partial to display into the user profile page.
    Useful to add more data to the profile page without changing its template
- ``custom_css`` - Path to a CSS file which will be used for the profile pages in place of the default one.

User Properties
---------------

``tgapp-userprofile`` looks for various properties into the User class instances
to drive its default behavior, the most important property is the ``profile_data``
property which can provide a dictionary with the user information to display
on the profile page, but other properties are available to tune the behavior:

profile_data
~~~~~~~~~~~~
A dictionary of entries to display into the profile page,
the default dictionary is built with::

    {'display_name':('Display Name', user.display_name),
     'email_address':('Email Address', user.email_address)}

each key of the dictionary if the id of the field, in most
cases it will have the same name of the user property where
that field is stored. Values of the dictionary are tuples
where the first value is the name of the field which will
be displayed and the second one is the real value of the field.

If an ``avatar`` key is available that is expected to provide
the url of the avatar image of the user. If it is not available
userprofile will look for a ``tgapp-fbauth`` facebook avatar or will
falleback to the default avatar.

``display_name`` key will be used as the profile page title.

profile_form
~~~~~~~~~~~~

A ToscaWidgets or tw2 form that can be used to edit the user profile.
By default an autogenerated one with a text field for each entry in
``profile_data`` is provided.

save_profile
~~~~~~~~~~~~

A callable which will receive the user data submitted by the edit
form and is expected to update the user accordingly.

By default values will be stored as they are into the user field
with the same id provided into ``profile_data``.

Bootstrap Layout
----------------
If you want use bootstrap for beautify style of `UserForm` or `ChangePasswordForm` form layout, in your app_cfg::

    def replace_profile_form_layout():
        from axf.bootstrap import BootstrapFormLayout
        from userprofile.lib import UserForm
        from userprofile.lib import ChangePasswordForm

        UserForm.child = BootstrapFormLayout(children=UserForm.child.children)
        UserForm.submit.css_class = 'btn-primary form-control'

        ChangePasswordForm.child = BootstrapFormLayout(children=ChangePasswordForm.child.children)
        ChangePasswordForm.submit.css_class = 'btn-primary form-control'

    milestones.config_ready.register(replace_profile_form_layout)
