I'm trying to add a field to a user's profile using Joomla's Community Builder extension. When I add the field, it automatically puts it in the jos_comprofiler table, but I want the field to be in the jos_users table. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

i need funneling the subscriptions in my 1.7.6 Prestashop newsletter. I should add custom fiels in newsletter registration form. How can i do this?
Thanks a lot guys
I suggest you to use Module for creating new custom field. Because you are going to create also new table in the database as well. Then using the front controller to add new field.
You can read the official docs here:

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.

I am working on magento 1.9 version.I want to add a custom image field in drop down of custom options.
I added a text field using following guide
http://magento.ikantam.com/qa/how-add-custom-attributes-custom-options
which is working fine.but when I add a file field then it shows in admin but not save image field value in database.
please help me to solve this.
Neeraj,
Did you specifically click "flush cache storage" By following this guide and adding new tables directly to the database, Magento already has this record in cache. By flushing cache storage, you will allow magento to recognize the new structure and be able to save the record. I have accidentally forgotten to do this quite a few times and you end up with the inability to save a record even though your structure is there.
I am new in Magento and creating a custom extension. My module is not in Configuration tab under System. I have two fields in module and wanted to save these fields in db.
Kindly help me with this. Should I create a new table for this or simply save it to config table of Magento?
I hope this question has a simple answer. I am creating a product catalogue with Joomla 2.5.6 and VirtueMart version 2.0.8e. On the product details page I want to include my own pdf button which will link to the brochure of the product.
Under the suggestion of a reply on the Virtuemart form, I created an image custom field in virtuemart but encountered two major problems.
I don't know now to link the image to a pdf.
I can't seem to remove the title from the image.

Please advise.
Thanks,

My suggestion would be to use the Virtuemart Files feature. From the admin control panel, under "Shop", choose "Media". There you can upload the file(s) that you want to have downloaded. Be sure to associate them with a product, and they'll be included on the product page for download. To make a button out of the link(s), you could investigate using CSS to style them as a button. The only alternative I can think of would be to build a custom plugin for VM, which would be a great deal of extra work.
To make Custom fields in Joomla Virtuemart 2.0 is so simple.
You need to open your administrator and then go to:
Virtuemart->Products->Custom Field
there you will find a link to create new custom fiels and you can create your custom field with your choice. It provides various Custom Field Types. After creating and saving your custom field you need to go to product whom you want to add it. like:
Products->your product name->
open your product and go to Custom Fields and there at bottom you can see your custom field. add your custom field to product, save it and check this product from front-end of your site.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks.
