I want to create a custom Joomla registration form and a profile to show the information saved. For this I followed the answer on this thread. I have cloned and changed the files of the user profile plugin. Now the problem is that the edited profile form is not displayed after I have enabled the plugin. I have a login link on my site, which on success redirects to a profile display page after that. When I click edit on the profile display page, the edit profile form is still the same old one and it is located at profile?layout=edit. All it has is:
Name
Username
Password
Confirm Password
Email
Confirm Email
Basic Settings
Why is this not working. The installation was also fine.
Is this even the right way of doing this.
Please help with this. I appreciate all the help. Thanks!
See original Joomla docs on how to add a profile plugin in Joomla 1.6

I ended up going with Community Builder. It has amazing search features.

We just launched a Magento 2.0.4 store, but we're experiencing the issue described below. Hopefully someone can help us fix this.
When a customer is logged in in our store and clicks on "Addressbook" on the "My account" page, he gets redirected back to the "My Account" page.
The redirect order is as follows and all redirects are 302's (Moved Temporarily):
/customer/account/ --> /customer/address/new (as expected because this customer has not created any address yet)
/customer/address/new --> /customer/account/login/ (herein lies the issue, we would like to see the "Add New Address" page)
/customer/account/login --> /customer/account (as expected)
Notes: Our store is running on HTTPS and a custom made theme which is based on the default Luma theme. We also have another Magento 2.0.4 store running on the same server with the same hosting provider and the issue is not present here. You can try it yourself here.
What we tried:
Disabling all custom modules
Removing all custom language files (i18n folder)
Disabling SEO URLs
Here is a screenshot which shows the redirect order in the Chrome Developer Toolbar
We have found the solution. Apparently a module was in fact still causing the problem: Mirasvit_Core. Disabling the module and deploying static content again fixed the issue.
Thanks for reading and I hope this helps anyone else having this problem.
I have made a site in Joomla 2.5, and can't edit my articles by using the frontend option "edit article".
This function is available when I am running the site in offline mode, but when I switch to online mode, it disappears.
When running the site in online mode, I login to the administrator, and then "view site"
Can some one please help me!
You need to log in on the frontend when your site is in online mode to be able to edit articles. It doesn't matter if you are logged already on the backend, it won't count.
You should either enable log in module on some page, or a menu item pointing to log in page on the frontend. After logging in there, you will be able to edit your articles.
If you don't want users to see your login page/module on the frontend, you can create a hidden menu item for it, for which only you would know the link and it won't be displayed
Just go to your website's /index.php?option=com_users
There you will be able to login to the frontend.
As a graphic designer, I am wondering if either:
there is a WordPress plugin that will allow me, as an administrator, to upload a client image and assign it to a user profile; or
there is a simple way to hack WP into doing what I stated in #1?
I want clients to have the ability to log-in once to my WordPress site, and to click on a "user gallery" page which will only show the images/graphics assigned/completed for them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Seems this plugin should work...
User Specific Content
This Plugin allows you to select specific users by user name, or by role name who can view a specific post content or page content.
I am running Joomla! version 1.7. I've set up a registration page in the menu manager, however, when I click the link, it says I need to be logged in to register.
Not sure what I going. Can anyone help please?
Thanks!
Check the access level of that menu link.
It should be public. But you have set something else.
Turns out registration was disabled in the user manager settings.
I installed Joomla 1.7 and I noticed that you can have user profiles with the user profile plugin. However, is there a way to publicly access a user's profile (without loging in)?
For instance, I noticed that you can go to:
/index.php?option=com_users&view=profile
However, that seems to pull up my own profile, If I am logged out it always redirects you to the login form. I have tried adding additional variables like "id=1", "user_id=1", or "userId=1".
Is there a way to do this? Or will I have to develop a component to pull in this information publicly?
Even though it not possible with clean Joomla website a lot of useful code come with it, which you could include to your component if you prefer to create one.
But... there is a great extension Community Builder with a great team behind it. Having used it in the past, I would highly recommend it as a solution for community based sites.
It changes the login form to a much better & bug-free form, enables more fields to be created for registration, and allows special pages for individual users, plus, community builder has extension-specific plugins.
EDIT: This answer needs an update as since it was added more extensions have been introduced like JomSocial or EasySocial. I cannot recomment CommunityBuilder any more
This post is tagged with Joomla 1.7 however I wanted to mention that if using Joomla 3.7.4 you now have the ability to show the User Profile plugin data from the core Contacts component. You can also add more custom fields to the Users component and they will also show from the Contacts component. You can set the display of the Users Profile info by going to the Admin panel -> Contacts -> Options. Turn on the option under; Contact -> User Profile -> set to "Show".
