Edit account details

Hi!

I was wondering if Aimeos has an implementation for the user to edit his/her account details?
So, if a customer logs in and wants to change their address, for example.
I also noticed that on the demo website, the login doesn't work, not sure if this is on purpose :)

Thanks! :D

All address details can be changed in the address part of the checkout process and the changes will be stored permanently. Users don't need to go to their account first when they notice that their address is wrong improving the usability of the process :-)

This only leaves the password change to the application and Laravel 5 for example provides means to reset the password out of the box: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/authentication

Thanks for the hint! We've fixed that now.

Alright thanks! But it shouldn't be too hard to implement this kind of page for the users to edit their data, right? :-)

Thanks for updating the demo! Altho, when I log in the normal list (performance and default), don't work anymore :D

It's not that hard. Create your own "account/user" component with two subcomponents for editing the user data incl. billing address and for managing the delivery addresses. Maybe a third one for changing the password. We appreciate any pull request for the new component you've created ;-)

Argh! PHP persistent database connections are from hell! Removed them and it should work now again. Thanks for spotting this again :)
