Easy Profile - Joomla Extension

Hi,
Unfortunately you cannot add fields to Topics natively, anyway to add a field you can follow these steps:
1) Create column in table #__jsnsocial_topics for example "new_field" (VARCHAR)
2) Create the input field in the html
- Access to Admin Panel (http://docs.easy-profile.com/index.php/article/social-network-configuration)
- Go to Theme Manager
- Choose "SocialNetwork Theme"
- Choose the file to override from left menu (Topics->create.ctp)
- Click on button "Copy" and copy it in "Blue Theme"
- Come back to Theme Manager and choose "Blue Theme"
- You will see your override to customize.
- In this new file you can add something like this after line 75 to create the new input

<li><label><?php echo __('New Field')?></label>

			<?php echo $this->Form->text('new_field', array('value' => $topic['Topic']['new_field'])); ?>

		</li>

3) Delete folder "cache" at /plugins/jsn/socialnetwork/app/tmp/

NOTE 1: You can do this for each new fields
NOTE 2: this modification will be still active when you update the plugin in future (layout changes is a theme override, so it will be not rewritten)

Thanks for your answer.
Where can I find #__jsnsocial_topics ?

This is a table in your database. You can add a column with a tool like phpMyAdmin, normally it is provided by your hosting provider.

That's perfect ! Thanks !
I have one more request.

I would like to put among the fields one field which is a image. I want that the user can upload an image of his model and that it displays in the "article".
Thanks a lot for your answer.

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Hi,
sorry for late reply, we are finding a solution for you. Today we will come back with a solution

Hi,
after some research, unfortunately this is not possible with a simple way.
Anyway you can use the already built-in uploader and customize the view to show image where you prefer. The view file is Topics->view.ctp

Is it possible (inside the create page) to display a drop down select field with some selections (ex : the list of the airlines and the user select which airline it is). Then I would like to display it inside the view.ctp (ex : Airline : {airline from the drop down select field).
Thanks for your answer and your kindness.
Best regards,

Yes, this is possible, like my previous reply (https://www.easy-profile.com/support/create-a-special-page-for-a-collection-part.html#reply-25073) you can add a dropdown field with a code like:

<li>

    <label><?php echo __('New Field')?></label>

    <?php echo $this->Form->select( 'tags', array('airline 1','airline 2','airline 3'), array( 'value' => $topic['Topic']['new_field'] ) ); ?>

</li>

Hi you can use a code like

<?php echo $topic['Topic']['new_field']?>

Hi,
If I put in create.cp:

<li>

    <label><?php echo __('New Field')?></label>

    <?php echo $this->Form->select( 'tags', array('airline 1','airline 2','airline 3'), array( 'value' => $topic['Topic']['new_field'] ) ); ?>

</li>

and in view.ctp:

<?php echo $topic['Topic']['new_field']?>

It displays the number of the selection (ex : airline 1 -> 0, airline 2 -> 1, airline 3 -> 2).
Do you have the solution to display 'airline 1', 'airline 2' and 'airline 3' instead of '0', '1', '2' ?
Thanks.

ok, then please try to change edit.ctp file with something like

<li>

    <label><?php echo __('New Field')?></label>

    <?php echo $this->Form->select( 'tags', array('airline 1' => 'airline 1' ,'airline 2' => 'airline 2' ,'airline 3' => 'airline 3'), array( 'value' => $topic['Topic']['new_field'] ) ); ?>

</li>

and check if after save topic it will show correct value

It works perfectly! Thanks.
I also would like to hide the title field and I would like to auto-create a title with {aircraft-type} {airline} {scale}.
Ex : Airbus A380-800 Emirates 1/200
Is it possible ?

Hi,
it is a required fields so the best way to do this is to hide title with CSS and fill it via javascript when you change values like aircraft-type,...

Yes. I have 3 fields : airline, type and scale. How can I do to put all this 3 elements to create the title ?
