When using Joined Date & Last Login Date custom fields in a profiletype, it is impossible to create a new user from the backend of easysocial (easysocial-->users-->new)

They are not filled in when creating a new user and cannot be filled in by the admin. Therefor on save of the user, You will get the error: "There was some error in your form. Please correct the respective fields. "

Probably those custom fields are set to required. Because they are emtpy when creating new user from the backend it is impossible to create a new user with those custom fields in the profiletype.

small note: not a big problem, cause new user registration via frontend goes fine with those custom fields enabled in the profiletype.
Hello cbais,

I've added a fix in your FTP. Can you please give it another try?

Hello Nik Faris,

Thanks for looking at this problem!

However, there is another strange problem now. I can see that the custom fields: Joined Date & Last Login Date, are not visible anymore when creating a user in the backend, so far, so good, but when Trying to save the user, after filling in all the required items, it gives me the following error now: Please enter your name.

The name, username and permalink (and other items), have values...so where does this new error come from?

one note: I noticed You created a new user last night. That one worked. However, You choose the 'registred' profiletype. That is not used on my site. Choose Member or supporster to reproduce....

Hello cbais,

Please replace the attached file in: ../administrator/components/com_easysocial/controllers/users.php and see how it goes.
