Really? I've just seen there is an import plugin, but no export. That's crazy... how can a client use the data they collect then? This is big oversight in my view.

When will this feature be added?

Thanks,
Nick

That's crazy

Easy Profile is not a user manager component, it extends Joomla user management, registration and edit profile (frontend and backend) are the same of Joomla (tabs are generated with javascript and custom fields with user plugin). Many our competitors most popular and expensive (Jomsocial, EasySocial, Community builder* ) not implement even the import feature, so we are crazy because we have import feature ?!?

*import/export are provided by other vendors.

When will this feature be added?

Sorry we not have timeline. Now you can do this with other ways:
- CSVI Pro (http://extensions.joomla.org/extension/csvi-pro)
- Art SQL to anything (https://www.artetics.com/index.php?option=com_hikashop&;ctrl=product&task=show&product_id=37&name=art-sql-to-anything&Itemid=469)

NOTE: never tried by us.

Hi,
no problem, unfortunately we speak English a more technical and therefore not express myself well. "so we are crazy because we have import feature" was a joke. sorry.

Is it possible to alert the admin when a user has updated their profile?

yes, but it does not natively.

You can create a simple plugin based on our "skeleton" plugin, follow these steps:
- Download, install and enable our "skeleton" plugin, you will find at the end on this page http://docs.easy-profile.com/index.php/article/triggers
- open file /plugins/jsn/skeleton/skeleton.php
- Delete example functions: triggerFieldAvatarUpdate, triggerProfileUpdate
- write your function like this:

public function triggerProfileUpdate($user, &$data, $changed, $isNew)

	{

		if(!$isNew)

		{

			$body=$user->name." updated user profile. \n\n";

			foreach($changed as $fieldalias){

				$body.=$fieldalias .": ". $data[$fieldalias] ."\n"; 

			}

			$result=JFactory::getMailer()->sendMail(

				$user->email,						// Sender Mail

				$user->name,						// Sender Name

				'PUT HERE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS',			// Receiver Mail

				'Profile Updated',				// Subject Mail

				$body	// Body Mail

			);

		}

	}

this plugin will send you an email with list on field changed

Skeleton plugin is very useful, you can also change values: $data['field1']=$data['field2']+$data['field3'] (sum example)

Haha not to worry. You do a great job of communicating in your second language!

Thanks for the plugin info, that might help the situation. I'll look into it.

I've just realised that there doesn't appear to be a way of viewing a user's custom-field preferences from the backend, is that right?

You can see/edit fields only when click on a single user, unfortunately Joomla has no API to change backend user list.

Do you mean it should show up when I go to User > Manage user and select a single user? It only show default fields for me.. no custom fields??

No, I said in backend user list, this is strange, you should see all your custom fields Can you please post me your site detail to check this? you can use the form below the reply in "Site Details" tab.

This is interesting - I've just logged in as this user, and re-saved the preferences - and the tab has appeared. I'll come back to you if it plays up again!

you set something other than "Public" in available for parameter for your custom fields? maybe some ACL problem

Ahh, yes I did - it was 'Guest', and I just changed it as I couldn't see the profile form on the front end. That explains it. Sorry, my fault.

Thanks for you help - and look forward to the export function.

Best, nick
