How to see CB profile page of author with Events Booking and Eventlight template

Hello the community, 

I'm using Events Booking with the template Eventlight from Joomdonation.
When I click on a event, there is the name of the author on the right "created by", but when I click on the author's name it opens the list of his events.
demo.joomdonation.com/eventlight/index.php/sports/sports/table-mountain-cableway

That's exactly what I want and I want to keep that behavior, but I also would like in another custom field (or with another solution) a link to access to the CB profile page of the author of the event.

How is it possible ?
Do I need a plug in like CB Author Bot ?

And do you know if it is possible for a registred to be notified when a followed author publish an event ? 

Thank you for helping me, 
Lionel

Your extension would need a Joomla event for that that you could act on using CB Auto Actions otherwise the extension will need to implement CB support directly. CB Author Bot will not help you here as that's only designed for Joomla articles. Whether this is possible or not is entirely dependent on your extension so you'd need to contact the developer of it regarding that.

Hi, 

thank you very much for your answer, I'll contact them.

Hi, 

If possible I would like an advice to know the best way to implement automatically in the profile page the link to the events of an author, like that page demo.joomdonation.com/eventlight/index.php/sports/search-result?created_by=348

I mean, if possible, when someone click on a profile page, he can see the profile page and can see (somewhere, in a tab or somewhere else) that page with all events.

What would be the most convenient way for that and the most durable solution ?

Thank you for any advice or solution.

A link to that page would be just a Custom HTML field with a normal a element with the href linking to the page and created_by as [user_id] substitution.

Actually rendering the page inside their profile becomes a lot more complicated and would require 1 of the following.

1. A new CB plugin that integrations the extension and renders a tab for it
2. A CB Code Field that calls that extensions API to render that view (if supported by the extension)
3. A CB Query Field to query the database and pull a list of results to display in a table (won't look like that view, but can still be used to have a table of information)
4. Insert a Joomla module into a Custom HTML field that displays that view (probably won't be able to filter this per-user)
5. An iframe in a Custom HTML field to embed that view
6. A Joomla content plugin provided by that plugin and then using that content plugin substitution in a Custom HTML field

Most of this is entirely dependent on what functionality the extension has available. 1 requires custom development of a new plugin. 2 and 3 would require a paid addon. 4, 5, and 6 depend entirely on if the extension provides or allows for that functionality.

Hello Krileon, 

thank you very much for this answer, it is super clear and educational and very interesting to read.

I've tried the first method and I managed to do it easily thanks to your explanation, even if I am so far from coding.

I'll settle for that, it is satisfying for my needs.

Thank you very much,
Lionel
