I have the same question about showing the e-mail address in the profile.

Just set the various parameters and see the outcome.

It can be shown - the system operates just as the explanation states.

The primary email address is the one that is given during the registration process.

New fields of email type can also be created - these are handled by the second option you have given.

Nant, are you saying that to get the user's e-mail address to show up in the Contact Info tab, you must create a new field for it (ask the user to enter an address when updating, that will show in his profile)? I don't have a problem with doing this, I just want to be sure I'm doing it right.

Thanks

Hi all!

Ok, so maybe I'm the dufus of the century, but something in CB seems confusing: can, or can I not, have the (non-CB field) email address (entered during registration) displayed on the profile?

I have the feeling it can't be shown, but the option

"Email Handling --Display Email w/ MailTo link-- NOTE: This setting only applies to the users primary email address."

seems should do just that, no? If not, what is the "primary" email address? What then is the difference between that an the

"Email Links --Yes-- Allow Email Links. NOTE: this setting only applies to custom fields of type email"

option? Someone please explain.

Thank you!

If you set the email handling configuration parameter (see CB Configuration backend) you should be able to get what you want without adding a new field.
