Hello dear friends,
I want to know about two specific feauters in order to purchase EasySocial.

1) I saw that I can add custom fields to User, such as Company. Can I publish near user's Name, the company that he is working to?
2) If I set the default language eg to English, how will be the fields translated? If I create new custom fields, will be that fields translated?

Thank you for your great work.
Hello,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Thank you for your interest in EasySocial! Please find the response to your inquiries below:


1) I saw that I can add custom fields to User, such as Company. Can I publish near user's Name, the company that he is working to?

You need to customize the theme file in order to achieve this but I would say that the difficulty level is pretty easy because outputing a simple textbox value is extremely easy


2) If I set the default language eg to English, how will be the fields translated? If I create new custom fields, will be that fields translated?

You need to set the title as a language string. For instance, COM_EASYSOCIAL_FIELD_SOME_TITLE . Then, add this string into your language files and you are good to go

Hope this helps! Looking forward to have you on board with us.

For the record... after one year and after the fantastic support:

In order to output a simple textbox value anywhere, you have to use

$user->getFieldValue('CUSTOM_FIELD_KEY');


Eg at Users Profile page: JoomlaFolder\components\com_easysocial\themes\wireframe\profile\default.header.php (wireframe theme)

...it was from the support tickets, I just note it for any use

Is there any option to override that in order to avoid losing changes after the next update?

Hi Vaggelis,

In order for you to keep the override after each update, it is advisable for you to use template overriding. You can refer to our documentation here on how to use template overriding, http://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/administrators/templating/template-overrides .

Hope these help.
