With the User Link Module part, you can display user networking tasks on personal pages, Fundraiser personal pages, and profile displays. This allows you to expand the reach of your user networking site and allows members to create relationships with other website users, creating an active online community.
To include user networking tasks on a personal page or Fundraiser personal page, place the User Link Module part on the page with the Personal Page Elements or Fundraiser Page Elements. When user networking members create personal pages or Fundraiser personal pages, the User Link Module part displays a list of user networking tasks on their pages. These tasks allow other website users who visit the pages to send messages to the page owners, add them as friends, and perform other user networking tasks.
To include user networking tasks on a profile display, place the User Link Module part on the page with a Profile Display part that links to a Directory part. When a website user selects user a profile from your directory, the User Link Module part displays a list of user networking tasks if the profile subject is a user networking members.
The User Link Module part displays the list of user networking tasks to all website users. However, the tasks that appear depend on the user’s role on the user networking site. The User Link Module part only displays tasks that the user has the authority to perform. For example, if a personal page includes the User Link module part and a user networking member visits the page, the list includes only tasks for members. However, if a user networking group owner visits the same page, the list includes tasks for members and for group owners. For website users who are not user networking members, the list includes the tasks for members, but when users click tasks, they are prompted to join the user networking site. For anonymous users, the list also includes the tasks for members, but when users click tasks, they are redirected to a login page. If they are not already user networking members, they are prompted to join the user networking site.
Note: While all website users can view user networking tasks, the User Link Module only displays these tasks if the personal page owner, Fundraiser personal page owner, or profile display subject are user networking members. If a website user who is not a user networking member creates a personal page, user networking tasks do not appear on the personal page. The User Link Module allows website users who visit the personal page to interact with page owners through your user networking site. Users cannot interact with page owners who are not user networking members, so the tasks do not appear.
Before you can create a User Link Module part and add it to a page, you must create the User Networking Manager part. For information about the User Networking Manager part, see User Networking Manager.
