Profile Question was created by peanutp
Hello,
I am new to Community Builder and have a question regarding profiles.
I currently use an extension called Easy Profile, which allows me to capture additional information about users during registration. It also allows my users to view the profile information of any user, and it also has a user search function. Easy Profile is not being updated for J4, so I have now migrated the additional profile data to Joomla Custom Fields - this works well. The only thing I am now missing is the user profile view and search, which is why I'm looking at CB.
Best wishes,
Peter

- Will CB sync the Joomla user data (including custom fields) into the CB user list?
- Does SB have the ability to allow users to view other users profiles (subject to permissions being set correctly)?
- Does SB have a user search function?
Best wishes,
Peter

You can also download the CB Primer Book below. It's a bit dated, but still contains a lot of relevant information.

Yes, we include a field type within CB > Field Management called Joomla which lets you display and edit Joomla fields within the CB user profile. These can be displayed on userlists and searched as well. I however recommend just using CB fields and migrating that data to the CB field for more efficient storage and searching. You can see some userlists in action on our demo site below.

Yes, you can see a users profile below on our demo site.

Yes, using userlists or Joomla's legacy search component with CB Search Bot. We do not provide a Smart Search integration. See the above userlist links for an example as they can be searched.

Thank you for the reply. Really helpful. I'll do some proper testing.
I have been looking at the field types in CB and didn't see Joomla listed. Looks like this is only available in J4? www.joomlapolis.com/news/19010-community-builder-2-8-released Or am I looking in the wrong area?
One other question - is it mandatory to use the CB registration form? For now, I would prefer to use Joomla registration and sync to CB.
thanks Pete

The Joomla field type is indeed only available in Joomla 4. Joomla 3 doesn't have the API to allow for it to be implemented cleanly.
If you're still on Joomla 3 I HIGHLY recommend making the move to Joomla 4 as Joomla 3 is EOL (end of life) and no longer receives support. While CB and several of our products still work on Joomla 3 for now we do not do extensive testing on Joomla 3 anymore as we just don't have the resources to maintain support for an EOL version of Joomla.

Yes. Your installation will go out of sync. Is there a reason you need Joomla's form? CBs registration provides significantly more features. You can even completely customize it's layout using the new layout features shown below.One other question - is it mandatory to use the CB registration form? For now, I would prefer to use Joomla registration and sync to CB.
