The MySQL field type plugin adds a "MySQL Field" to the available list of CB fields. It does not actually add a new field to the database and cannot be edited by the user. It simply queries the database and displays the result of a MySQL statement.

You can define 3 parts to make up the MySQL query, the SELECT, the FROM and the WHERE clause. You can use {USERID} and {VIEWERID} in the MySQL statement which get substituted for the user's ID and viewer's ID of the currently viewed profile. You can restrict the query to only execute for the user and/or viewer as well as add a prefix and/or suffix to the output. You can also choose to use CB field substitutions of the user or viewer with the field name in square brackets like [id] and [cb_fieldname].

Installation Instructions

- Install the plugin through the CB Plugin Management page
- Publish the plugin on the CB Plugin Management page
- Add a new 'MySQL Field' type from the CB Field Management page
- Define a MySQL query and set the other parameters as desired

This plugin is best suited for intermediate to advanced web developers. You need to comfortable writing MySQL queries to get the most out of it.

Although I am moderately comfortable with SQL, I can not get this plugin to display using CB 1.4.
I will try and test on 1.2 to check, but is there a known incompatibility please?

Excellent plugin for CB that was much needed and does exactly what it says! No issues for the installation (I use J1.7 and CB 1.7). You'll need to be familiar with MySQL to get it to do what you want, but this is a very good feature for CB.

I knew nothing about MySQL, but the Softforge team was very responsive and answered my queries ver quickly in both Joomlapolis forums and by email.

Highly recommended!
