Hi,

I just purchased Easy Profile and I'm in proccess of discovering what a great product it is but I have one question.

Can users during registration select user group (registered, author,...) and that based on selected value coresponding fields will appear (different fields for different user groups)?

And is it possible if they select registered they can self activate account but if they select author I as admin must activate account?

Regards

Hi,
sorry for late reply, it was late for us and our offices were closed :)

Can users during registration select user group (registered, author,...) and that based on selected value coresponding fields will appear (different fields for different user groups)?
Yes, you can create for example a select field with these options:
1|Registered

2|Author

3|Manager
and set following condition on this field:

Condition 1
Condition: equal
Field to compare: Custom Value
Custom Value: 2
Target Field: (leave empty)
Target Action: (not important)
Add to Usergroups: Author

Condition 2
Condition: equal
Field to compare: Custom Value
Custom Value: 3
Target Field: (leave empty)
Target Action: (not important)
Add to Usergroups: Manager

Registered usergroup is mandatory for all users because this is set in Joomla configuration at Users->User Manager->Options->New user Registration Group parameter

Now:
- if user choose "Registered" then he will be assigned to "Registered" usergroup
- if user choose "Author" then he will be assigned to "Registered" and "Author" usergroups
- if user choose "Manager" then he will be assigned to "Registered" and "Manager" usergroups

And is it possible if they select registered they can self activate account but if they select author I as admin must activate account?
No sorry this is not possible, to do this you need to develop a custom plugin, but this require PHP and Joomla devs Knowledge. here a docs with example plugin https://www.easy-profile.com/docs/44-triggers.html

Hi,
Do you maybe have any plans for adding "country" field with predifined countries in list?
No, but select field have options to get data from DB table, so if you have a table with countries you can retrieve the data.

...and for storing custom field values to Joomla user profile.
Sorry but I not understand, "Joomla user profile" means "User - Profile" Plugin?

Yes. I will explain. Since I will have select field for prefered user group I wil have also coresponding fields that will appear based on selection.

So if you select Registered some fields will appear and if you select Author other fields will appear.

Since I don't wan't to use Joomla user profile plugin because for. ex. if Country from joomla user profile plugin is activated then it will show under EasyProfile fields and it will mess with my layout. So I want to disable core plugin and create country field with easyprofile which will populate core country field upon save.

Or is there another solution? Maybe register template override?

hi,
ok now i have understand, Sorry but you can't mix User profile plugin with easy profile, the best way is to create 2 text custom fields (city and country).

yes but you need to develop a plugin to do this, we offer api and code example plugin,see at https://www.easy-profile.com/docs/44-triggers.html
-download skeleton plugin
- install and enable it
- open file /plugins/jsn/skeleton/skeleton.php
- remove example functions: triggerFieldAvatarUpdate, triggerProfileUpdate
- write your function to store data in DB

NOTE: this require PHP and Joomla dev knowledge.

Hi there,

I have tried the above solution but do not seam to get it right. After registration the users are only added to the default new users group.

Please view screenshot conditions and options select field.

hi,
you use multiple selection, so try to use "contain" operator instead "equal"

note:
you have choose to use numbers as values, so if you use contain operator to check for example custom value "1" then your condition will be met also for "10".
to solve this you can use options like these:
bj_chalmetlaan_55|BJ Chalmetlaan 55
bjc9|BJC9
de_katte|De Katte
.......
