My requirement is to add a Tab inside the form(not a ribbon tab) on create of custom configuration record. The functionality is like this:
A custom config entity has a field called 'Entity Name'. On creation of this config record I need to add one form Tab to an entity specified in 'Entity Name' field in this config record. Here my idea is to add this tab to all the entities, and Hide/Show this tab by querying the config records with current entity name. So, is there any way to add tab to all the entities in one shot? (OR/AND) Can we configure to add one default tab to all newly creating entities like 'Notes' tab?
If I'm wrong, it would be great if any suggestions from your side.
There is no out of the box way of doing this. My recommendation would be to keep it simple and do it manually.
Here is the way to add/remove tab on create/delete of config record through plug-in.

I have recently created a new Entity: Configuration of type Setting, so it won't show up with the rest of the entities. I have already updated the Forms with the necessary fields but I can't find it on the app to create new records.
Where is that form?
How can I create new Records of that entity on the UI?
Make sure to verify these steps:
Edit the UCI app to include the assets/artifacts like Entity and the Default form, Quick create form, Views, etc
Edit the app Sitemap to add the Entity list as navigation in UCI app
If you have enabled "Quick create" for that entity and a QC form is created + added as asset in step 1 - then it is better experience
Make the entity searchable, then you can add a record from Advanced find query results

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?
first i show image: http://www.upload.ee/image/4675395/Untitled.png , to understand my idea better
I am using joomla 2.5.14 and I want to add another menu option for Extra Fields (It would have 10 fields - ID, Picture URL, Video URL, etc).
The new menu would be saved as vod_items table. The menu would be added where are the Publishing Options, Configure Edit Screen, etc.
That option should be available in every article.
Is there a simple way to add that option to Joomla or is there any kind of a code or plugin to do that?
Kind regards,
Aimar.
You can create a custom plugin to add more custom fields on Article manager or any other core component of Joomla.
You can follow following link for creating a plugin for adding custom fields to Article manager.
Reference : Adding custom fields to core components using a plugin
Note : Don't edit the core component as all changes will be lost in future update of Joomla.
I want to add extra field to the HikaShop user registration form for the first step of the checkout process. I could not find out the page inside the HikaShop Component actually where to add my code. Please suggest me soon.
The simplest way to do it is to create custom fields via the menu Display->Views (you have more possibilities in the commercial editions).
Otherwise,if you want to directly add your code to the form, you will have to edit the file "registration" of the view "user" via the menu Display->Views.
