Once logged into their accounts, users can access the User Control Panel from:

The user control panel allows users to do any of the following tasks:

The program will list all of the user’s secure areas and include a link to each secure area’s start page.

If the user has a credit card on file, he/she can edit that credit card from this location.

Exact Link: http://www.yoursite.com/ppSD2/member_cp/newsletters.php

You can select whether a user can subscribe to a newsletter by editing your newsletters (“Newsletters” > “List Newsletters” > Click the 2nd icon) and ticking the “User Subscribe” newsletter.

From the program options:

• Use User CP?: Setting this to “No” will mean that users will NOT be redirected to the user CP when they log into their accounts.[1]

From the program options:

• User CP Related Options: Set whether a user can access any section of the User CP from this section of the program setup.

When simply turning off a section of the User CP isn’t enough, you can choose to edit the template entitled “User CP: Home”.[2]

Within that template you will find the following code:

<!--link_start:digital_products-->
<tr>
<td width="200"><b><a href="digital_products.php">Digital Products</a></b></td>
<td>View a list of digital products to which you have access.</td>
</tr>
<!--link_end:digital_products-->

<!--link_start:account_details-->
<tr>
<td width="200"><b><a href="view_info.php">Account Details</a></b></td>
<td>View your account details.</td>
</tr>
<!--link_end:account_details-->

<!--link_start:update_account-->
<tr>
<td width="200"><b><a href="edit_account.php">Update Account</a></b></td>
<td>Update your account information, including your password.</td>
</tr>
<!--link_end:update_account-->

<!--link_start:newsletters-->
<tr>
<td width="200"><b><a href="newsletters.php">Newsletters</a></b></td>
<td>View a list of newsletters to which you are subscribed.</td>
</tr>
<!--link_end:newsletters-->

<!--link_start:subscriptions-->
<tr>
<td width="200"><b><a href="subscriptions.php">Active Subscriptions</a></b></td>
<td>View your active subscriptions.</td>
</tr>
<!--link_end:subscriptions-->

<!--link_start:credit_cards-->
<tr>
<td width="200"><b><a href="update_cc.php">Credit Cards</a></b></td>
<td>View your credit card details.</td>
</tr>
<!--link_end:credit_cards-->

To remove a link that you do not want to appear within the User CP, simply delete everything between the <!--link_start...--> and <!--link_end...--> tags. Example: to remove the Newsletters and Credit Card links, you would delete the following text from the template:

<!--link_start:newsletters-->
<tr>
<td width="200"><b><a href="newsletters.php">Newsletters</a></b></td>
<td>View a list of newsletters to which you are subscribed.</td>
</tr>
<!--link_end:newsletters-->

<!--link_start:credit_cards-->
<tr>
<td width="200"><b><a href="update_cc.php">Credit Cards</a></b></td>
<td>View your credit card details.</td>
</tr>
<!--link_end:credit_cards-->
