I added in my phpBB 3.1.3 forum a custom profile field which has to be filled in if someone registers on my forum. I want that this field can be seen only by administrators. Therefore, I checked the following options:
I also require that newly registered users have to be activated by an administrator. Whether a user gets activated depends on the text that he puts into his profile field. However, the profile field does not appear in the inactive users list in the ACP, nor does it show up if I click on the user. How can I find the custom profile field for inactive users?
In the top right drop down box that is currently showing Overview change this to Profile and hit Go. This will show custom profile fields at the bottom of the page.

I had to add a series of custom fields to the joomla registration form. Thanks to the guide I managed to do it, both for the registration form and for the administrator form.
The process I followed for this are the following:
Added the fields to the users table
Added the fields in joomla user entity /library/src/user/user.php
Added the fields and definition to /components/com_users/model/forms/registration.xml file to update the registration form
Added the fields and definition to administrator/components/com_users/model/forms/user.xml file to update the user edition form for user with administrator role
Now I require the user to be able to change their profile data with the inthe fields that were created manually. To do this I added a link to the menu
form to edit profile, here I expected to see all user fields, both native and custom created, but instead I obtain only the native fields, although upon inspecting the object (user) I can access all the user fields.
I created the fields by hand and then I expected that when they were saved they would persist, but it is not, when sending the form only the native data is updated and not the custom fields.
When I inspect, I see that a component named k2 is the one that facilitates this profile editing form, I am new to joomla and its ecosystem
Could you please give me guidance on how to implement this task?
Greetings and thanks in advance
Do not edit core components.
There is a way to do the same using Profile plugin.
https://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_profile_plugin
Go through above link and create a new profile plugin.
This is not the way to add extra user fields. What will you do if you need to update Joomla. Joomla releases security updates at regular intervals. First you need to create a user plugin and then you add whatever user fields you need. I found a detailed description here, you also can have a look. if still you get any doubts you can ask me here in comments.

When i log into the arrowdb on the appcelerator portal i can go into the "manage data" and click down to a specific user object.
I wish to edit a "custom field" in a User object.
Previously in ACS all the custom fields were available for edit, but now in arrowdb i cannot even see the custom fields only add new. If i add a new custom field for a custom field that should already exist it seems to change the value. However i want to be able to see the values too.
Am i doing something wrong? Should i edit the user object somewhere else?
In Older versions this option was at Global Configuration section.
At joomla 3.x seems that this option has been moved.
I want only my existing users to be able to login.
Has anyone any idea where this option is available? Thanks in advance!
Log into your Joomla 3.0 admin dashboard
In the top menu, click Users and then click User Manager
In the tabs toward the top of the page, click the Options tab
Under the Component tab, find the following setting:
Allow User Registration
If set to Yes, new Users allowed to self-register.
To disable user registration, set Allow User Registration to No, and then click the Save button in the top left of the page.
After disabling the registration option, you will notice that the Create an account link within your Login Form will no longer show, as users can no longer create an account on their own.
Reference
It's very simple ,Follow the steps below:
a)select System --> Global Configuration -->Users manager.
b)Under the component tab you will see the 1st option as Allow user registration.
Please refer the screenshot below.
I am trying to get user profiles displayed as articles in a category blog. Is there a way to push some fields of the profiles as articles (and get these articles updated when the user updates the profile)?
Thank you for your help !
It looks like you might be looking to display extended user profiles, not articles. I've used "Community Builder" extension for this. It might be an overkill for what you are trying to do, so look for extensions that extend user profiles, you won't be able to do it with Joomla "out of the box".
Do they need to be articles (com_contact instances)? If not, you could try an alternative with the additional benefit of using core extensions, the "Contact Creator Plugin" and "User profile" as It will do the work you are looking for:
Activate "User - Contact Creator" plugin - Every new user will have a contact profile created.
Configure its parameters - You can select which fields will appear in the user profile page.
Then you can add Add a menu item to display all your contacts (users) - Select the menu type: "Contact / List Contacts in a Category"
You can add custom fields to users following this tutorial: Creating a profile plugin

With Joomla 2.5, it’s very easy to add extra fields to the registration form. You have to turn on the user profile plugin, set the fields you want displayed, and publish a registration form.
From the Joomla Admin menu, click Extensions > Plugin Manager > User – Profile.
Joomla displays the User Profile plugin screen.
From the Status list, select Enabled.
From the Basic Options list, for each field, select Required, Optional, or Disabled.
Note: There are two lists: User profile fields for registration and administrator user forms and User profile fields for profile edit form. The first list is for the User Registration form. The second list is for the Profile Edit form. If you don’t want users to be able to see or edit these fields, you can disable them here.
Click Save & Close to save the User Profile settings.
From the Joomla Admin menu, select Users > User Manager and then click Options.
Joomla displays the Users Configuration screen.
