Is it possible to show on the profile about section the members registration date and the last active date? Joomla already stores this data but is not displayed on an ES profile. In my case this is important because there are cases where it's good to know how long a certain member has been a contributor and other cases of when they last signed into the site.
Hello Josh,

Yes, it was retrieved from the #_users table.

Hello Josh,

Yep, you can get these attributes using our API. For example, to get the registration date:



<?php 



echo $user->getRegistrationDate()->format( 'j S, M Y' );

echo $user->getLastVisitDate( 'lapsed' ); // This will output a nice beautiful x moment ago string

?>

Looks good, so then to implement it do I put it in a custom field (Textbox) in the "Placeholder" text field and set it to read only?

Hi,

The textbox does not serve this purpose unfortunately.

Where are you looking to place this code?

We don't actually have a custom field for this but you can always add your own codes in /components/com_easysocial/themes/profile/default.about.php

I'm really pleased to see registration date and last active date in the new version of ES. Does the custom fields use the records that Joomla already uses to stores this data?

I know that as alluded in my last reply. Now I'm checking up to see where that data is being pulled from. I assume the _users table that comes with Joomla?
