Hello there,

I want to use some text fields on profile which users can put their professional titles like the same in linkedin. So page visitors will quickly understand who the person is, where they work at, etc. without spending much time in browsing.

A status field will also be great like Couchsurfing does.

How can I do that on current templete?

Best regards,

Zafer

Hello Guys,

I'm sorry that I missed understand your request. Yes, you can add the custom field in Backend>Easysocial>ProfileTypes>Custom Fields. Here is an example: http://screencast.com/t/PSqGUjRG . I've made a custom file with a 'custom' Unique Key. To call this field in your profile page, you can go to this file: ../components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/profile/default.header.php and add this php line anywhere you want:

<?php echo $user->getFieldValue('custom');?>


The 'custom' is follow the Unique Key.

Hope this helps.

Hello Zafer,

Can you provide us your backend and FTP access so we can have a better look on your code here?

Hello Nick,

I tried again and did it this time, but headline doesnt appear where I want it to appear. I want it under the friends-followers-achievements line. Could you show me where I should exactly past the code?

Anyway, what will happen with updates? Should I repeat this hack with each update? I think you should put this as a default option without letting us make hacks. In many cases showing professional title in the profile is more important than gender or anything else. Am I right?

Best regards,

Zafer

Hello Zafer,

You might want to try to put the code on line 153: http://screencast.com/t/WIrBgnR6 . You have to re-paste the line in the php file after update. About making it as default option, we will discuss this with our developers. Thanks for the suggestion.
