Hi all,
This is my first post on this forum. Here is my question. I am using joomla 2.5. I would like to add some extra custom fields in user profile pages, not in articles), which can be edited by the users themselves. BUT, these fields should only exist in profiles form specific ACL groups. I know that K2 extension offers a possibility of adding extra fields in articles, but can you add them in user profile pages too?
Overall, this is what I am trying to achieve for the website I am making:
There will be 2 types of users with a possibility of adding content: lets say registered users, and premium users.
Premium accounts will be paid (could be done with a subscription extension), but unlike in normal paid subscription account, they will not have access to additional content, but instead, they will be able to create an extended profile page (lets say with description and images instead of just contact details). So I just wanted to know which extension would give me this possibility of adding extra fields to profile pages, based on ACL. Would K2 do the job?
BIG THANKS!

did you ever find an answer to this? I'm looking to accomplish the same.

Thanks William, yes I currently have the extended fields installed. What I'm looking for is how to add additional fields to this. I looked at the plugin but can't figure out how to add custom fields to the extended fields plugin.

In plugins\k2\userExtendedFields add the following :

userExtendedFields.xml :
<param name="your_param_name" type="text" size="40" default="" label="param name" description=""/>

userExtendedFields.php :
$your_param_name = $pluginParams->get('your_param_name');

userExtendedFields\tmpl\default.php
<?php if($your_param_name): ?>
<?php echo $your_param_name; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

@Andrey Miasoedov THANKS!!!! :woohoo:

did that work?
