Hi,

Allow new users to first select a group

You can create a custom field of type select (or anything you like), you can set the condition to set the usergroups.

Then display registration fields appropriate to that group

You can set the fields to show/hide with condition (maybe with previous select). Remember that new user before registration is a guest user.

Also the social connect tag doesn't work.

Try to see HTML code, example
{ socialconnect } correct (without space)
{ _somehtmltag_ socialconnect _somehtmltag_ } wrong

The jsn prefix is a bad choice due to a potential conflict with Joomlashine prefix.

For now no conflict reported!

I can clone my site and grant you guys superuser access to a test site.

Good, explain exactly what you want to do.

but this component just doesn't work for me

What does not work?

Hi,
Sorry for late reply, it's night for us.

For details please use the form below the reply in 'site details' tab.

Now our office is closed, tomorrow we will check your site.

Can you explain to me what you mean by 'set the SQL' and 'Using Ajax Registration' ?

Thanks for your reply.

Yes in NZ we are 12 hours ahead of Europe and accept that time differentials mean a greater response time. Thus we don't expect immediate responses.

Have supplied site details per your email.

Thanks for your patience.

Ok,
see now at http://kiwifriends.org/index.php?option=com_users&;view=registration

What I do
- disabled "System - AJAX Register" plugin (I do not know what it does, but it removes all of my script component).
- set conditions on Usergroup field (see at Components->Easy Profile click on Usergroups field to see the configuration of conditions)

Tricks
- If you want to remove Username go to Components->Easy Profile->Options and set Login Type on Only Email
- If you want menu item for each usergroup registration you can do this:
- Create hidden field "Usergroups Hidden" with same condition of "Usergroup" field.
- Remove Usergroup field
- Create menu item of type System Links->External URL and set in link parameter index.php?option=com_users&view=registration&usergroup_hidden=1 to set registration for advertisers
- Create menu item of type System Links->External URL and set in link parameter index.php?option=com_users&view=registration&usergroup_hidden=2 to set registration for coupon_merchants
- Create menu item of type System Links->External URL and set in link parameter index.php?option=com_users&view=registration&usergroup_hidden=3 to set registration for ninja

docs here: https://www.easy-profile.com/docs/27-set-default-value-in-registration-from-url.html

Note
Radio(or select) for choose group is more powerful than Ajax Registration Usergroups because:
- The group ID is not displayed on HTML code
- You can choose the label for Groups (not only group name), also you can use the language constant to set different label for different language (you can set the constant value from Extensions->Language Manager->Overrides)

I am truly grateful for your help and feel we are making progress.

However if you go to the page and try to register as an advertiser, the registration process still requires the Ninja fields to be completed.

Surely this is the reason for multi profiles - to ask different questions to different user groups.
Thanks

However if you go to the page and try to register as an advertiser, the registration process still requires the Ninja fields to be completed.

Where?, when I go on http://kiwifriends.org/registration-configure-profile.html?view=registration I see this (see screenshots)

Thank you for replying to me.

Unfortunately, registrations do not complete. If I try and register as an advertiser the whole process loops and eventually defaults to Ninja layout, but never completes.

Hi,

registrations do not complete

No, the problem is another: when you register an account and go on submit button you don't see the error message (this is hidden in your template or some components)
I have tried and the problem is password, you must set the password with minimum of 5 digits (you have set this in Users->User Manager->Option on Password Minimum Integers parameter, see screenshot)

Because the messages are hidden? I don't know, but you can try for example on this site where not is installed Easy Profile (referenced in previous message):
- go to http://winnr.net/ninja.html
- try to insert incorrect credentials
- no error message (screenshot 1)

Now go screenshot 2 to see as well (enabled alert with css debugger)

Your site has too many components that conflict with or without Easy Profile!

Try now,
I have disabled also System - jQuery Easy plugin

Joomla 3.x have a built in library to load jQuery Library. If developers use Joomla Api the are no conflict.

From Joomla 3.3 the mootools JS Framework will be removed and Joomla will works only with jQuery. But Joomla use jquery 1.10.0, your plugin remove this version and load 1.8. because you use it plugin? for me is unnecessarily from Joomla 3.x.

For message (alert):
the message with incorrect login or registration failure (missing an required field, not valid password, duplicated mail or username,etc..) are in the HTML code but not displayed (you can do this with some css code). The problem is: when a user register and for example no fill required field, the system return on registration and the user does not understand what went wrong.

add this code at the end of file /templates/jsn_sky_pro/css/custom.css

#system-message .alert{display:block}

One thing
I see in your administrator that Usergroup field is core field. Have you change from DB? because?

Thank you so much for the kind support. Also for the line of code, that's great!

I note very carefully your advice and due to the fact I have made so many changes to the live site, I will have to re-clone and start again.

I'll go through the installation process, turn off jquery easy etc and see what happens.

My grateful thanks to you.
