Resolved Manage User Field and Groups Help

Hi, we have recently purchased easy profile pro.

We note that for the extended properties for both a Field and Group includes a WYSIWYG larger description area. As we are unable to identify how this field may be used within the User Profile (front end), for now we will assume that this is simply a notation field for the administrators when creating the new group or field.

What we are looking for is a simple user help information that we can show in the font-end, either at registration time or perhaps when a user edits the profile. For example, at the very top of a Field Group or perhaps individual Field help (or even balloon/ hover over) to help the user on the typical information that they can enter or the intended use of the field or group.

Can someone please be so kind and help us identify whether such a function exists already and if so, how we can make it work for us. If not, perhaps this ma be considered for a future important feature request?

Many thanks,

Rick

Hi,
sorry for late reply, it's night for us and our offices are closed.

We note that for the extended properties for both a Field and Group includes a WYSIWYG larger description area. As we are unable to identify how this field may be used within the User Profile (front end), for now we will assume that this is simply a notation field for the administrators when creating the new group or field.

Below I will explain how to use description area:
Fields:
this is used to generate tooltip on mouse over, except for HTML delimiter field type. For HTML delimiter field type you can refer to docs at http://docs.easy-profile.com/index.php/article/html-delimiter-field-type
FieldGroups:
we would use this description to add a text at the beginning of the fieldgroup in the future.
Easy Profile extends Joomla user management (not replace) with many improvements, unfortunately Joomla registration form not allow to add description for a fieldgroup (in normal Joomla the fieldgroup is a HTML fieldset and in Easy Profile is a Tab), so for now this description do nothing and you can use it only for admin notation; anyway in future we will try some workaround to add this feature.

You can use WYSIWYG description to add tooltip and HTML delimiter field type to add description or static HTML code in field position.
