Hi there,

Could you advise how I can change a users profile type after they have registered. I can't see it on the backend.

thanks,

Paula
Hello Paula,

You can change the user's profile type by accessing the Users section at the back end of EasySocial. Take a look at my screen shot here, http://take.ms/Wn4Tb

Mark -

Is it possible currently to automate the changing of user's profile (if not directly from an ES setting, perhaps via cron)?

par example: if you wanted to create a User Profile that Users would graduate into based on their total community/ES User Points, users having accrued x number of points would automagically be migrated to the designated User Profile

Hello John,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is actually a public day off for us here.

Not out of the box but I suppose you could write a script to do that. The script to switch a profile should be less than 20 lines. Take a look at the codes in /administrator/components/com_easysocial/controllers/users.php under the method @switchProfile

This is interesting as it ties in (perhaps) with the choice of profile type by a member depending on their selection from a dropdown on registration.

The subsequent profile type can then be linked to group membership and ultimately to default stream content.

A cron could run every hour to check for registrants of profile type z and allocate them to profile types a-e on this basis, one presumes?

Is this feasible perhaps?

Anything is feasible Paula, just that you need to write these custom scripts. This is the beauty of EasySocial as it is a platform that allows you to do almost anything.

EasySocial alone cannot cater for the niche needs of everyone but of course it can be extensible and you could write an app that hooks into the cron when the cronjob is executed and perform stuffs that you want / need

I'm running into a similar situation, but your link appears to be broken. I'd like to see it as I'm trying to change from Registration to Moderator.

Thank you,
Steve

Hi Stephen,

Seems like those screenshot removed from the server. Here i provide you what Mark provide earlier http://take.ms/C84x8.

Please give it a try and see how it goes. If still facing those issues, it would be best if you can create a new ticket and provide us with all access credentials for us to further check them.

Hi Abdul,

Thanks for that. I don't know how I missed that. Silly me.

Thanks again.
