Membership Feature: Assigning a Membership Role while signing up
I am just testing out the membership feature in Brizy Cloud and I am trying to set up a membership website for my business.
I totally understand the process of using the membership feature for sections and using the Global feature to include and exclude pages to show exactly what I want to show to my members, site visitors and logged in members.
I must say, I love the whole concept and it's easy to set up. The only problem is, when trying to add the login element (Registration option), I am currently not able to assign a membership role to that specific form. Isn't that the whole point of the membership feature?
Right now, I would have to manually change the members role after they sign up. I don't even know if that's possible.
I also understand that by using the # symbol, we can grab important dynamic information to display to our users. But in order to create a dashboard to our users, the users should have the option to edit their information and a button should also be there to save the changes.
I hope you guys are working on a customizable dashboard element. More like an editable form element that can prepopulate the dynamic data that we select along with a save button. Yeah it would be just like the form element but with the options that I mentioned above.
I think we already have the reset password option and it's great. Lemme just test everything out in the meantime. Especially the reset password option, the email that's being sent, registration confirmation email, if any etc.
Please tell me if there is a workaround for all of this.

Hey, I kinda tested out the signup feature.
The signup experience was pretty nice. And my test account is listed under the Users Tab in the CMS Menu. And yes, I could edit the details and assign the roles to the users. I mean it's helpful if we want to upgrade or downgrade someone. But the role assignment process should be automatic.
So, Brizy does send an email when a member signs up. That's good news. But the email comes with a No reply Title from Brizy. Is there anyway that I could customize the email, title and subject line? And also could I also change to from and reply-to email address?
I am guessing the reset password option has the same problem.
Come on, when users sign up, they need to know it's from us right? I hope you guys are trying to find a workaround for this.

Hi Sampreeth
The Registration form did have the option to assign a default role to users who become members through the form. This stopped working after the last major Brizy Cloud update. We are aware of this bug and our development team is looking into it. We hope to fix this soon. Until this is fixed, please manually assign a role.
At the moment, we are not working on a Dashboard element. It could be a good feature request if you can expand on the concept. What are the features that the Dashboard should have?
We do not have a way to customize the email notification to the registered user at the moment. We will make a feature request for this.

Hey, thanks for the response.
Thank god, the whole user role problem is just a bug. That really caused a major concern for me.
About the dashboard element, creating a dashboard depends on what type of dashboard a user is trying to create for their website. But a basic registration form like element with an 'Update' button instead of the 'Sign up' button would be helpful. The users(members) should be able to edit their information through this dynamic element. I guess we could design out the rest of the dashboard using all the other elements.
When that payment feature roles out, an element that displays details of the current plan and an option to cancel, upgrade or downgrade their plan would be helpful as well.
Another important element that I find missing is the 'Div' element. It's just a basic <div> element. This would really help us build awesome containers and cards. This element along with the columns and rows element should have a max-width option as well. This would help us create more responsive designs.
Yeah we also need a breakpoint between 1100px - 1200px. Right now for screen sizes at 1024px, our website looks really bad.
I really hope you guys look into it.

Hi Sampreeth
Thanks for your thoughts about the Dashboard. We will look into it.
What would be the difference between the Div element and the row and column elements we already have?
Responsive Breakpoints Manager is part of the plans for year 2022. Please watch Dimi talk about it here https://youtu.be/rtcIc_IYDp0?t=2108

Hey thanks for the quick response man.
About the div element, I don't think it's necessary. I am sorry about that. I didn't know that I could nest another column using the column element. That would serve the purpose. Although the option to align items horizontally is missing in both the row and column element.
Can you help me out with another problem that I face with the editor? While we try to build a section from scratch, and then we add the column element, we immediately lose access to the parent row which can be used to align the columns, if we apply a max-width attribute. The section immediately splits into columns and we don't get to access the parent element of those columns.
This makes it really hard to even apply CSS code to the element when we can't access it's parent especially for aligning and setting up max-width. Is there a workaround for this?

I could not understand what you are describing here. Can you make a screen recording of the issue?
If you a have a specific design you want to recreate using Brizy, please share it. I can make a video for you on how to implement the design using Brizy.

Hah, just came to look for threads about the memebership issues, had exactly the same questions:
- how to apply roles on signup
- and why the emails are not customized as all the other forms.
This second one is a real bummer as both the signup and the password reset comes from noreply@brizy.cloud, the signup one even tells the user to set up their password even though they set it up in the signup form already.
It would also be very useful to be able to dynamically apply a role from an outside system, like a payment gateway, or just integrate Brizy with pabbly since zapier now has webhooks only in premium plans.
Dear Brizy team please look into these issues, there's more of us stuck in the same place :)

Hey George,
I was being a bit confusing with that one. I was just asking to implement a gutenberg or webflow type navigation menu system, where we could individually access all the elements including sections, rows, columns and all the elements placed inside the columns/row.
Right now we could only rearrange the main section blocks. If we could access, edit and rearrange individual elements through the navigation menu, that would be really awesome.
I donno if you have noticed it, when Brizy adds a section, row or column, it adds way too many div blocks. You can see it when you inspect this demo page: https://mandarin10458630.brizy.site/
In the first section, I just added the text element and no rows or columns. But after the <section> element there are 5 <div> elements added before the <p> element.
And in the second section, I have added a row element and then the image element. Here, after the <section> element there are 8 <div> elements added before the <picture> element.
I have used webflow before and their code is so much cleaner than this. We also get to edit, style and rearrange each one of these <div> blocks if we add any.
Is this something that Brizy is trying to accomplish in the future?

Hey Thea,
I did try signing up through the registration form but I did not get the reset password option in that email.
Here is what I got:
Hello First Name! Thank you for creating a new user account with our site. Please use this link to login: https://mysitelink(dot)brizy(dot)site
I did not however try the reset password element. I should test it out.
And I totally agree, we should at least get the option to customize this email. The Welcome email is one of the most important part of the signup process.
And I kinda have a solution for the email from noreply@brizy.cloud for the time being. Let the email come from noreply@brizy.cloud, but the following part of that email should be customizable
1) The Sender Name
2) The Reply-to Email
3) Title and Subject Line
4) The entire email
George, I think you should look into this as well. This would be really helpful for us.
