Rob's Samplex product and tutorial:<br>

CMFMember 1.1 (currently unreleased) is the ideal version for working with<br>
plone 2.1 (which as Martin says is much improved), but may not at present<br>
work with plone 2.0.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/11/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">michael nt milne</b> <<a href="mailto:michael.milne@gmail.com">michael.milne@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Thanks for the help here. Yes I do want to capture extra information
about a user who is registering with a site. First name, last name and
company, phone number etc. And then to be able to to display this in a
membership display tool. Just about to check out CMFMember. Hope it
works ok on 2.05.<div><span class="e" id="q_105a7662fbd2d489_1"><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/11/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Dieter Maurer</b> <<a href="mailto:dieter@handshake.de" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
