User profile

To create a new user account, enter the start page of your VIMP portal and logout, if you are already or still logged in. Click on “Register” in the top right corner, fill out the register form and click on “Sign up”. You can also disable the registration for your portal via the admin configuration in the “Components” section. In addition to the regular registration process via the frontend, the administrators can always create user accounts via the admin panel, also if the registration is disabled. Furthermore, you can add custom registration fields that the users have to fill in with their registration. A more detailed description on how to create new user accounts via the admin panel and how to add custom registration fields can be found in the administration guide.

To log in to a registered user account, simply click the “Login” link and type in your username and password. Your personal profile page can be accessed by clicking your username located on top of the page.

You can provide several information about yourself which you can share with other users in your user profile. Within the settings tab you can enter your name, birthday, location, and much more. Additionally, you can upload an avatar and a title picture for your profile page. Once you provided all necessary information and uploaded the pictures, click to save your changes.

In addition, find your recent activities in the “Activity” tab where your new uploads, comments, favorites, etc. will be shown. Your activities are visible for any other user on the portal, as well as you can see the activities of other users on their profile pages. Friends and groups that you belong to will also be shown on your profile page.

The tab “Media” lists all of your uploaded media. Furthermore, the media section lists your channels and albums. The “Favorite” section is your personal watch list where you find all media you have marked as favorites. The “Comments” section is your personal guestbook where other users can comment on your profile, your media or your activities.
