Hello melihtas,

to make the user profil, don't use directly the article which is created by the bridge. You have to always work with the user content type you have created.

In this content type, simply add SEBLOD Profil existing fields (First name, Last Name, ...) or create new as you need.

By default, SEBLOD profil existing fields are not exclusively attached to the "User Content type" so they are store in the "#__cck_store_item_users" and you can use them in your own content type.

If you create new fields, two solutions :

1. Padlock Closed: fields will be stored in "#__cck_store_form_nameOfYourContentType" and only available in this content type.
2. Padlock Open: fields will be also store in "#__cck_store_item_users" (like profil existing fields)

You can use the two solution, but if you keep the second, you will reduce database access by managing only 1 table.

Now, whatever the solution used, you must use the storage below for your fields:



Hope it will help.

Best regards.
Lionel

Hello Lionel,

Thank you for your time,

I already created a content type based on user object and I created a list (customer list). In this list I clicked button 2 and assigned Link-View-Current. This link opens the articles created by bridge.

How can I assign a link to the content type instead of articles created by bridge?

Best regards,

Melih

Hello,
in your search type, on the head at the right you have an orange down arrow. If you click on it, you will see more options for the search.

One important option is the "OBJECT" option. Just look if you work well on the "User" Object and not on "Article" Object.

Best regards.
Lionel

Hello Lionel,

The "Object" option is "User" both in content type and list.

Best Regards

Hi
I may have the same problem (403 error when trying to edit the custom profile) with the Edit icon on the bridge article

We created a special user type (myUserType) with extra fields. We copied the existing USER type and add fields (with the Standard / User storage)

We created a joomla profile menu item that is redirected to the com_content displaying the bridge content so that you can see all your extra fields. so far so good!

But the EDIT icon that is displayed on this bridge article is
index.php?option=com_content&view=form&layout=edit&a_id=475
which doesn't work ( a 403 error message)

Normally with a seblod content this link should be redirected to
index.php?option=com_cck&view=form&layout=edit&type=myUserType&id=475
(since the user id is 475)

Do you know why the edit link is not redirected to the com_cck form as it is with all any other seblod content ?

I believe this is the same issue as in back office: if you click on the bridge article you are not redirected to the seblob user form

Thanks for your help

Hi

thanks for the info but my remaining concern is the EDIT icon link as mentioned here. Do you have a solution for it (hide the icon?)
thanks

Hi,

No, since I couldn't manage to do what I want, I gave up the front end user manager idea and I stripped down the back end area (only User Manager is visible) for the client. So I don't use bridge at all.

If what you want to do is only to hide the icon why don't you do it with css (display:none;).

If you want users to edit their own profile and not see the icon for other users' profiles, you can set the permissions for your content type.

Set "edit own" to allowed and the other options to denied for the user group.

Hello Melih

yes but the edit icon is displayed on the 'user profile' menu which displays the bridge article actually. Setting the permissions in the user type has no effect here since for Joomla this page is a standard article
thanks
