Hi
We are autenticating Joomla users with ldap and then pupulate some fields in j_user_profiles table from Active directory. Would if be possible to link those to the User fields in EasySocial?

Regards

Ok, could I run a sql script every night copying them, but I am a bit unsure where the fields are saved in the EasySocial profile.

Another question are how to show custom fields in searchresult, is it possible to use the same format in the template file for as say email


<?php echo $user->email; ?>

Hey Jens,

Ok, could I run a sql script every night copying them, but I am a bit unsure where the fields are saved in the EasySocial profile.

Actually that is not easy to run a sql script to update those data, you need to write a PHP script to do that.

Those custom field value will stored under this table `#__social_fields_data`.

How to find this custom field id, you have to look for this table `#__social_fields`.


Another question are how to show custom fields in searchresult,

May I know which section you would like to show custom field? Are you referring advanced search part?


is it possible to use the same format in the template file for as say email

<?php echo $user->email; ?>

I have a little bit lost here, is it possible for you elaborate more details regarding this?

Hi,

We have roughly the same issue for a local intranet using LDAP authentification.
Did you ever find a solution for this ?

Thanks,

Steve

Hello Steve,

We are not too sure to be honest as the author of this post did not really get back to us on this.
