Using Profiles like social Media sites

In my vision I see it this way.

STEP 1 - FC INTEGRATION
STEP 2 - EXTRA FIELDS
STEP 3 - EXTRA FIELDS
STEP 4 - CUSTOM VIEW / TEMPLATE
STEP 5 - INTEGRATE WITH FC MODULE
STEP 6 - INTEGRATE WITH FILTERS AND SEARCH (ADVANCED)

This is not simple or easy or fast.
The most difficult part is to put this plugin so it can grow.

Yeah, you are right! Implementation for own FC profile would be the best but take too much time. Temporary solution would be creating a NEW Author field which can bring information for its author info and list of items.

Hello,

I have tested this package and user can add picture on their profile.
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/clients...ser-management/19702
With this Profile Picture, you can upload jpg file only and should be 200px by 200px or bigger image.

I have created a plugin that can display user profile and picture as well.
Just create a Custom Module and use syntax as {displayprofile}CategoryID{/displayprofile}.
You don't need to specify CategoryID.
Right now, you will only be able to see picture, about me and address1.
In displayprofile.php, You can add or remove profile fields.

good shareing !!

During the Joomla Day I was discussing about having users managed by Flexicontent.

I don't like to manage my users with CB that is a second CKK dedicated to users... CB is very complex and often we just need to have some few extra fields.

This solution is interesting, I will have a look. Thanks

hi

the above posted code on profile management... did anyone create a component/ plugin?

thanks

Hello

no news about this

there is planning to use item (a specific content type) as user profiles, by adding intergration for this purpose, e.g. each user can create only 1 item, adding parameters etc

Thanks

that would be nice. When do you think it will come?

Flex will be so much more powerful with some integration to user registration.

Regards

Hello

more such work will be in next version v2.3.x

Regards

thanks

Can you help me with a short code piece to create a new item using PHP code?
(I am trying to create a blank profile page post registration & save it in background)

$user = JFactory::getUser();
$category = 3; // need code here. Should it be category or type?
$newitem = new Item($category); // need code here.
$newitem.owner = $user ; // need code here to set the item as created by this user

$newitem.save() ; // need code here to save this item


many many thanks....
