I have this specific requirement that there is a list of names of people and a container for photo.
So when I click on specific user's name, his photo will appear in that container.
Is there any specific extension for this, so that admin can manage all the people names with their images ?
Thanks in advance.
If you are referring to an Avatar and using Joomla 2.5+ then I would recommend using Community Builder. I know it's a fairly big system, however it extends user profiles massively and might come in handy in the future.
If you're using Joomla 1.5 then you could always use DAvatar which is simply a plugin.
Hope this helps
You can user Community Builder as well but its very large & powerful extension & i think your interested to show only users image. If you have Joomla 2.5 then Profile Picture plugin will be most suitable for your case. Here is the link check it out. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/clients-a-communities/user-management/19702 . Hope it helps you.
Community builder is overkill just to get an image.
Here are a few options, depending on how often these are updated and whether you want to allow users to update these themselves.
Of course you can always make a category and an article for each team member, then use the links and urls to load the image in a standard location (override +use css in your template to do this). Use ACL to manage who can change this and to decide if you will allow users to manage.
Use the image field in the contact component, put all of the team members in the same category in contact. Put bio etc in miscellanous information. Only admins can manage this since it is edited back end only.
Use a profile plugin for com_user if you want users to be able to manage for themselves.

Apologies for what is I suspect an easy question for many - I am very new to Joomla. I am building a website for my wife on Joomla 3.x (Noteworthymusictuition.co.uk). I already have an area for her music students, in which they log in and can access teaching material not available to the public. We register them.
I want to create an area of 'free downloads' for members of the public to self-register and automatically go to an area for them to download material. They need to be able to log in again after registration. To build up a newsletter group, I want to capture the registrations and store them for subsequent emails.
I do struggle to understand the ACL in Joomla, but if I try and set up a registration form for the public to use, I have to enable self registration in the admin and that affects the existing student login.
I hope that's enough detail! I was wondering whether I need an extension to enable multiple levels, such as Access Manager Pro? But on the other hand, what I'm asking for doesn't really sound like rocket science!
Many thanks!
By the way, I have never done any programming in Joomla - apart from occasional HTML editing.

If you choose the 'self' registration option that doesn't stop you creating users as you do now. As long as you set the user up correctly they should be able to log in without issue.
New users would have the option to create an account and would be activated via a confirmation email.
You need to create at least one new user group though. For example, a 'download' group which has access to the additional material. Then, if you use a decent component (http://www.joomlatools.com/extensions/docman/ - see access control new tab) you will be able to control access to documents and downloads by specifying which groups are able to see download links etc.
Hope that helps a bit!
I have a task from the client to create a screncasts website. It must be similar to egghead.io or laracasts.com. I decided to choose Joomla for a basis. And for this reason, I want to know are there components or modules for Joomla, which realize similar video functionality? For example, the site has two types of screencasts. Paid and free. If the video is paid, then at the opening, instead of showing, the user must to pay. (All like on laracasts.com). This is the main point. Thank you.
P.S. Perhaps there is a better solution for this kind of site?
Your project has 3 different aspects.
User management
Managing payments and memberships
Video display
1.For the first point Joomla ACL (Access Control Level) provides good built-in functionality to filter user access. You can create different user groups (free memberships, paid, pro etc.) and use acl to control access to the content. 2.Managing payments. There are many components that do this (free and paid), you can search on extensions.joomla.org Akeeba subscriptions is a good one for managing subscriptions.
3. Video playing. You can do anything from simple to complex. Basic solution is to embed the video in an article using standard html5 tags. A better solution, is to use a content builder extension like K2 that has additional features to handle multimedia content. It makes editing and content creation easier for non specialists.
Or you can build or find a specialized component that will handle all these aspects in one solution.
i wannt to build a website with user management. User should be able to loggin with different accounts, f.e. GMail, Facebook, .....
When the user is logged in he/she can upload pictures with geolocation data and some text.
All uploaded geolocations should be visualized on something like google-maps.
Unregisterd users can view the map, but can not change the data or upload anything.
To solve this requirement i decided to use JOOMLA 2.5. with the "plugin_googlemap_J25_J3x.v3.2" plugin.
Everything i know about JOOMLA is what i learned the last two days.So i am very new to it.
Currently i am stuck, because i do not know how to save the user-data (pictures with geolocation data and some text) in JOOMLA.
I asked google! For more than an hour now! Could not find anything, related to that topic!
So my concrete questions are:
I suppose it is not possible to extend the JOOMLA user data database with the user-data, or?
If this is not possible, than i need a second database which holds the user-data, or?
Does anyone knows a tutorial which solves this problem?
I found someting for wordpress "http://codecanyon.net/item/privatecontent-user-data-addon/2399731"
but i have to check if this solves my requirements.
Thanks
Try this,
First make a list of your requirement then go to JED(Joomla extension Directory). search for related extensions.
Here from your requirement ,
You need a Customized Joomla Registration form
Social Media logins
And so on, so check the details of requirement and extension available, In any way you may need some customization on the Application then you can create some plugins for Users events.
Hope it helps..
Hi i run Joomla site on htpp://www.deeptechtons.net and wanted to construct a membership based subscription where people pay to get premium articles.
Exactly the same as tutsplus site network.[ i think it is custom but some solution must be available for joomla]. I already looked into extensions directory nothing fits my purpose.
Some requirements i need are,
1.Custom Profile fields for members.
2.Any time un-subscribe from plan.
3.Simple interface to show plans available
4.Payment processor's support
Also how do i hide the articles for premium members from not showing in search results, both joomla and google.
Joomla has teensy, weensy setting that hides un categorized articles in search plugin.
If you are running your website on Joomla 1.5 then PayPlans might be the better choice. It blends very well with JomSocial and your design. And yes, its very much customizable.
If you want to use 1.5, then Joomla 1.5 + JomSocial + AEC. I would also use K2 for the content because it would make filling your request about keeping content out of Google trivial. I wrote an upgrade to the K2 content display module that would allow you to leave all of your content as public and only display the intro text to non-registered users. Then you display the member content in a module that only displays to registered users. Very easy to maintain and implement.
The standard Joomla registration forms has a limited set of fields available. What's the "correct" method for adding the user's first name, last name, and phone number to the registration project? I can certainly modify the Joomla core, but that's less than ideal.
A nickel for your thoughts.
Essentially, you'll need to code alternatives for com_user and mod_login, then store your extra information in a separate table, keyed by user_id. Community Builder does something similar, only on a much larger scale. There may also be other similar profile extensions that act as drop-in alternatives to the core login system.
The best way to do it (and most in line with Joomla 1.6 - when it's released) is to use the Joomla User Meta plugin. UserMeta
You can extend the profile using just the user xml file but this won't store them in a database, merely as parameters. The Usermeta is much more robust.
I accomplished this by using the CBE extension for Joomla! Depending on your needs that might be overkill for you, but if you need profile management with avatars and other features you can consider going that route.
