Hi there!

I'm currently working on something like "business director".
Registered profiles with "Profile Type F" should have an own joomla article.
These articles have a default layout and texts for header, description, etc. should be subsituted with values from profile fields.

short form:
- there's an existing category with articles which describes a company
- when a company is creating an account, moderators should assign an article to the company's profile
- texts of this article (e.g. name of company, history...) should be related to cb fields, so the f type user can automatically edit this article's texts with editing fields on profile.


Do you have any idea how i can realise this?

Install CB Content Bot which lets you use substitutions in Joomla content. You'll then be able to substitute in fields from a specific user, the viewing user, or the article owner. See the below for substitution usage information.

www.joomlapolis.com/support/tutorials/107-use-cases/18353-using-substitutions-throughout-cb

Additionally I suppose you could generate the article automatically during registration. You'd do this using CB Auto Actions acting on the after registration trigger using a Content action.

Hello,

I started to create an auto action with content, triggered onafteruserregistration.
In full text I used substitutions to all fields which shall be shown in this article.

but how do i use the substitutions with the new registered user ID?

for example, i have following html in auto actions full text field:
<div class="col-sm-3">
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">Mehr erfahren...</div>
<div class="panel-body">{cb}[cb_details_mehr_rightside]{/cb}</div>
</div>
</div>

what does the subsitution have look like to be related to the user who registers atm.? :S

sorry, i'm weird :silly: :)
thanks in forward.

To get a users id you'd use the [user_id] substitution.

CB Auto Actions will actually parse the substitutions before storage so I doubt that'll work with storing the raw substitution it self. Will review adding a parameter to turn off the user substitutions parsing so raw usage can be stored.

sorry, i have not exactly understood what you mean.


i'll try to explain it in other words, maybe something isn't clear :)


the generated joomla article should be viewable for all users/visitors. but the substituted field values may not change. they should always show the values from original user who is assigned to this article. i don't get how the subsitution has to look like.
my current subsitution only shows the values for the user whos logged in...that doesn't make sense, because all articles have the same values in that case :D



- these joomla articles should work like pages for profiles (for comparison: fb profile and fb fan pages).
- every article/page has the same given layout and is generated during (or after?) registration automatically.
- user(owner) can change placeholders in profile edit.
- all other users should be able to see the article with the owner's values.


thanks in forward :)
