Resolved Optional Profile Field

Thursday, October 01 2015, 02:02 PM

Hello,

I have set up a few profile fields that I want users to complete once they are registered. they are currently not asked during registration.

What I would like to do is direct the user to a specific page after first login. I have set this up on my demo site and it sends to the page correctly. what I would like to do is be able to directly show the optional fields as soon as they go to the page. At the moment if they click on Edit profile, they then select the Group tab I set up to complete these fields. Is there a way to take the user straight to the easy profile group tab? Other wise users could miss this.

Hope this makes sense?!

cheers Pete

Hi,
you can do this:
- Set these fields as required
- Set in Easy Profile options to "Force compilation of required fields"

With this when use make a login it will be redirect on Edit profile page with message to complete required fields.

Hi,
There are different way to do this, but required developer Knowledge.

This is one solution:

Step 1 - Add javascript code to show correct Tab, Highlight Field and show message when is available some Hash in URL
Example, see this code:

jQuery( window ).load(function( ){   

	if( location.hash=='#test' ) {  // CUSTOMIZE YOUR HASH, now it is #test

		jQuery( '#profile_tabs a[href="#tab1"]' ).click( ); // SHOW TAB - change #tab1 with your tab index

		jQuery( '#jform_interests-lbl').css('color' , 'red' ); // HIGHLIGHT FIELD - change #jform_interests-lbl with ID of your field label, normally is #jform_FIELDALIAS-lbl

		alert( 'Your message' ); // SET MESSAGE - Customize your message

	}  

});

We have added this code on our site, so you can check by going to https://www.easy-profile.com/account/edit-profile.html#test

Step 2 - Set redirect on Edit Profile Page with hash
Easy Profile allow you to redirect on predefined menu item on first login, but not allow you to add some other parameter on redirect URL.
So you need to do minor customization in our Users Plugin:
- open file /plugins/users/jsn_users/jsn_users.php
- change line 654 from

JFactory::getApplication( )->setUserState( 'users.login.form.return' , 'index.php?Itemid=' . $this->config->get( 'firstLoginUrl' ) );

JFactory::getApplication( )->setUserState( 'users.login.form.return' , 'index.php?Itemid=' . $this->config->get( 'firstLoginUrl' ).'#test' ); // Use same hash from previous Javascript code, in our Javascript function we use #test

- Set Easy Profile to go on some menu item of type Edit Profile when user make first login
