We are evaluating Easy Profile and really like what we see so far.

We want to collect and display user information such as address, city, county, etc. We are also aware all of this information is in the Joomla User - plugin. We observe when this core plugin is enabled the "User Profile" tab is displayed with all of the Easy Profile Groups when editing a profile on the front end. The tab for "User Profile" is located on the far right of all of the tabs.

Questions:

1. Can we use Easy Profile to add new fields to the Joomla core User - ProfilepPlugin? We want to add an avatar to it.
2. If not, should we re-create a set of Joomla core User - Profile plugin fields using Easy Profile and place them in a new Group then disable the Joomla core User - Profile plugin? What problems may this cause?
3. Can we change the location of the "User Profile" tab assigned by the Joomla core User - Profile plugin or will it always be on the far right?

Thank you,
Mike

Hi,
sorry for late reply, it's a weekend for us.

Easy Profile extends Joomla user profile, registration and edit profile page are the same of Joomla*, so Joomla user plugins work with Easy Profile.

* Tabs are generated with Javascript and custom fields added by out user plugin

Can we use Easy Profile to add new fields to the Joomla core User - ProfilepPlugin? We want to add an avatar to it.
No, Joomla User Profile plugin and Easy Profile are 2 different extension for Joomla user management

if not, should we re-create a set of Joomla core User - Profile plugin fields using Easy Profile and place them in a new Group then disable the Joomla core User - Profile plugin? What problems may this cause?
Yes you can but the data already filled with Joomla User Profile plugin are not be visible

Can we change the location of the "User Profile" tab assigned by the Joomla core User - Profile plugin or will it always be on the far right?
No sorry this is not possible, normally order of tabs depends from order of plugins, Easy Profile need to be called as first because it adds features to the normal fields of Joomla (i.e split name in firstname/secondname, add possibility to remove email confirmation field, add strenghmeter feature to password field,.....)
