I am using joomla's jomsocial & I want to add a custom field on group creation. Has anyone played with it before?
jos_community_groups is the table where we have information related to jomsocial groups you will have to alter this table. com_community>templates>default>groups.create.php will be the file where you will need to add this new field. You need something else let me know. We have used it heavily.

In my magento application i want to create a module which is for adding FAQ for a individual product. So while adding the FAQ, in the new tab i want to show the list of all products(like product listing) for which product we want to add FAQ.
So please help me how to customize for getting list of products and display in the new tab?
The question is too broad friend. So don't hope any full solution here. That is because, this question is related to an external extension. But you will get guidance here. Here you may need to do following things.
I think in admin, the extension provides provision to manage each individual faque. What you need to do is, you need to create an extra field that will relate that faq with a product or multiple products.
If you set up this, you need to store this information in database. So for each faq, there may be a product id or multiple product ids related to it
Now you need to create a new block for your extension. This block will filter faqs that related to a particular product.
Next step is add above block in layout. Layout handle you need to use here is catalog_product_view.
Create a new template for your custom block and in that template file, you need to put design codes. You can create this template with the help of current template that this extension uses. That way, you can reduce a lot of time for creating the design.
Hope that helps !
Can someone please help me to how to create a category programmatically in cs-cart?
I have tried to insert category details manually in database and it is displayed only in backend not in front end.
When i tried to edit it and save the category without giving any changes it shows the category in frontend...I dono what happen in that step.. please guide me
Check the tables you are updating (4):
*categories, *categories_descriptions, *product_sales and *product_categories,
I found the 'category_id' field in each one. May be it can help you. Or you can enable any MySQL logging system on saving in order to 'catch' any other tables involved in category info storing.
currently i am developing a Magento extension, that needs to add several custom attributes to customer address.
I've found several tutorials on the topic that describe precisely what i need to build
http://www.unexpectedit.com/magento/add-new-customer-attribute-onepage-magento-checkout
http://www.excellencemagentoblog.com/magento-adding-custom-field-to-customer-address
They all use ALTER TABLE to add columns to several db tables.My question is :
Is it upgrade safe to do this?
Thanks in advance
They're using the magento framework method addAttribute() not pure SQL queries. They're using it in an upgrade script and it's its purpose : to upgrade safely a database..
Note that the EAV mechanims of the customer entity is built in order to not alter the table definition but add data in it. So in the background customer::addAttribute doesn't do a single ALTER TABLE. On the contrary, the now flated-tables sales_flat_order/quote addAttribute method does alter the tables cause it's no more an EAV entity.
They're doing it right.
I don't really understand your question.
In joomal 2.5 I have added a field to select user group in user registration field. While selecting each user group i need registration form with different fields. I can’t purchase any commercial modules or components for this. Could anyone suggest a good solution for this?
Thank you
I think You are looking for something like this

Its time consuming but as per joomla standards.
I'm trying to modify the credit card form to add some new custom fields named "Bank Name" and "Bank Phone Number" and it seems this cannot be done through the back-end.
I've searched the web and on here but I haven't been able to find anything in reference on how to add a new custom field to the credit card form. I would think it's almost the same as adding a new field to the customer registration form but I have no clue what to do database wise.
If anyone has anything I can use to work on this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
You should start by informing which version of Magento you are using and which methods you have already tried.
Without knowing that it is hard to help you, but you might want to try this possible solution, this one, or even one of these modules: Checkout Fields Manager or ADDITIONAL CHECKOUT ATTRIBUTES. If none of the above work, try this search.
No, Magento admin panel will not add custom columns for you. You need to do it yourself.
First, you need to edit the .phtml file to include these two fields to show up in frontend.
Second, you need to add two new columns (with same name as your fields, explained later) in relevant DB table (i guess sales_flat_order_payment). But that will affect for all payment methods, so define it something like VARCHAR(255) NULL.
Third, when Magento saves the CC info, you need to check if it is saving whole data array, then your field's name posted will match your table field and get inserted automatically. Else you need to edit it.
Also, next time please post some code, atleast something you have tried.
