There is no dashboard view. We probably won't have such functionality until a later CB release like CB 3.0 when we add layout functionality. Basically you'd have the profile you see, the profile others see, and profile edit. Best way to have a dashboard now I guess is CB Conditional to show/hide various tabs based off who is looking at the profile. As for outputting your custom code yes you can use a CB Code Field and you can either add your code directly to it or just do an include of your code file (you can pass substitutions to your include using variables).

It's generating PHP from a string. Your Joomla defines of JPATH_BASE and DS are probably not available for usage and you'll need to use actual API calls. I also don't suggest trying to run a function like that (as probably won't work), but just have your include directly return whatever you're wanting. For example the below should work fine.


In your PHP file you'd then do a return. Have to keep in mind this isn't like just adding PHP to a file. It's generating anonymous functions and executing them. Also keep in mind CB Code Field is template driven. You could have a template file that handles all your code for you and just set it as the template for that code field.
