Hello
I have a complex problem, and I try to describe it in detail.
My client needs a multilanguage web including Chinese and English with a member system as a industry directory which can display the members' company name, Telephone, Email and products...etc for people to browse.
When people browse the Chinese web frontend, the easyprofile user list displays the user information in Chinese including the fields and contents, then when browsing the English web frontend, the user list displays the user information in English including the fields and contents, so far I have completed the Chinese web and the member system by easyprofile, it works well in Chinese web frontend.
In the next step I will build the English web by joomla language feature but I do not know how to make the easyprofile to meet my client's needs.
I know the easyprofile fields can be translated by joomla built in language overide, but in my case there are contents in different languages.
So I creat two groups of fields, one is for Chinese contents and another is for English contents. please see the screenshot1.png.
The firstname field is already used for company name in Chinese, so the user list can display the company name for people to click to see the user detail. please see the screenshot2.png and screenshot3.png.
Now if I create another text field for company name in English, but it is not the firstname of joomla core field because the firstname field is used for Chinese content. it can not link to the user detail.
And in the user detail page, the firstname field is in its position, not be replaced by the field I created for company name in English, please see the screenshot4.png.
How to make it meet my needs ?
And how to make the groups of fields I created show/hide depends on the web frontend, such like the Chinese frontend displays the detail fields in Chinese and the English frontend displays the detail fields in English ?
Thank you.

Hi,
the only way is to override profile page because as title is shown a format name (composed by firstname+lastname).
But, I'm thinking about a very simple solution for you, try to follow these steps:
- Override Profile Page: copy /components/com_jsn/views/profile/default.php into /templates/your-template-folder/html/com_jsn/profile/default.php
- Open new File
- add at line 24 add this code
replace field_chinese_alias1, field_chinese_alias2,.... with alias of chinese fields
replace field_english_alias1, field_english_alias2,.... with alias of english fields
This should met all your requirements
