Easy Profile - Joomla Extension

Ok, perhaps I need to reconsider my layout.. Thanks anyway!

Hi,

However, the edit profile page doesn't seem to react the same as registering profile page

This feature works only in Registration form.

Why only in registration? This feature assign a default value for a field, but Joomla assign a default value only when the field's value is empty. So in edit profile something like this can create unexpected behaviors.

Thank you for your help and patience, I'm beginning to understand how it works.
However, the edit profile page doesn't seem to react the same as registering profile page. The hidden value usertype remains empty regardless of value in url in edit profile page. Does the register profile page and the edit profile not react the same to hidden values in urls?

The scenario I'm after is following:

- Regular user going to url
index.php?option=com_users&view=registration&Itemid=5710&usertype=registered
should only see joomla core fields

- Usergroup Forskare signing up for the user list "Forskarkatalogen" going to following url
index.php?option=com_users&view=registration&Itemid=5710&usertype=forskare
should see joomla core fields + forskarkatalogen fields

- Usergroup forelasare going to url
index.php?option=com_users&view=registration&Itemid=5710&usertype=forelasare
should see joomla core fields + forelasarbanken fields

The url is controlling what you register for so to speak.

Then I wish the url should also control what the user is editing. (A user can be a member of both usergroups)

The url
index.php?option=com_users&view=profile&layout=edit&Itemid=5710&usertype=registered
should only show joomla core fields

index.php?option=com_users&view=profile&layout=edit&Itemid=5710&usertype=forskare
should only show joomla core fields + forskarkatalogen fields

index.php?option=com_users&view=profile&layout=edit&Itemid=5710&usertype=forelasare
should only show joomla core fields + forelasarbanken fields

But the edit page doesn't seem to get the value from the url...

I'm sorry for being difficult but I am very interested in seeing if this could work.

Best regards,
Nina

Hi, there are 2 problems:

1) URL should be something like http://j3.genealogi.se/index.php?option=com_users&view=registration&Itemid=5710&usertype=forskare (so usertype instead jform[usertype])

2) all fields need to be available in registration form. Condition on field usertype will hide/show these fields

Now I have set these fields available in registration form, so try the 2 differents URLs:

Hi,
you have set "Available for" parameter to "Registered", therefore this field is not available for guest users, so it is not available in registration form.

To fix this you need to set "Available for" parameter to "Public"
