I'm trying to cut down Profile Types by assigning users to a mandatory User Group I.e "Students" and then on selection of lets say (Student Categories) I.e Music, Arts, Multimedia, Photography, upon the category selection a user would also be assigned to I.e Music User Group.

So we end up with a User that is in User Groups (Students & Music) but music being their own selection!



Is this possible?
Hello Marcus,

I am really sorry but unfortunately this is not possible currently

OK going to use a work around as i cannot have hundreds of Profile Types to select from upon registration!

Please let me know if you decide to add this feature as it's essential to the growth of Easy Social!

Hello Marcus,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply, was caught up with lots of work last night Hm, what you can actually do is to customize the theme files in /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/registration/default.php and modify it so that it uses a dropdown instead of displaying the whole list block

Hello Marcus,

You can do something like this,



<select name="something">

	<?php foreach( $profiles as $profile ){ ?>

		<option value="<?php echo $profile->id;?>"><?php echo $profile->get('title');?></option>

	<?php } ?>

</select>

You will need to actually add your own logics here. My codes above simply displays how you can display a dropdown of profile types

Unable to grab selected and echo 

<?php echo $this->loadTemplate( 'site/registration/default.profiles' , array( 'profile' => $profile )); ?>


For selected

I just updated easysocial and lost backup file i stored in the same folder (Like entire folder just got replaced on update)

Now sat here scratching my head;)
