Hi,
I followed this tutorial to add a custom field "Dog's Name" to my Joomla User Profile: http://www.seblod.com/resources/videos/adding-3-custom-fields-to-a-joomla-user-profile
I can see that when I add a new Joomla user, that my custom field is present. However, for existing Joomla users (whose accounts were created prior to installation of Seblod), my new custom field is not present. Is it possible to add my custom field for these users also? Please advise, thanks
Hi,
Existing users are not automatically converted to "Seblod" users. This is why the custom field is not present.
OK thank for the reply. How do I convert existing users into Sebold users? Thanks
Hi. You will need to export the current Joomla users first with a separate component (you could use the one from Joomlarra). You will then have to import these users via the SEBLOD IMPORTER (see products). It's not difficult to import the users this way. Look through the product and posts on the importer. Best is to create a test site first and play around with the importer. It's worth knowing how to use it properly as it's a very useful tool for importing not just users but other content as well.
