Hello everybody. I am trying to work a site out with K2, this is my first post and i'd have the same "problem".

I am trying to build a social site about giving space to various type of artist, in order to have their space and i'd like to have them divided in categories (singer, pianist, dancer, etc.). Furthermore, i'd like them to be searchable/filtered through these categories, as for example the K2 tool module where you can have a category select box in order to filter the articles through the categories.

Now in order to achieve that, i was wondering if it's possible to give the possibility to the users, during registration to be able to select their category in order not to have to do it manually. At least, i'd like to know if there is a way to do this with K2.

Thank you very much in advance, even because i'm using K2 with allvideos and image gallery pro, it works fine and it is intuitive for new users too.

Hi Antonios,

The only way I could achieve this functionality was by using Community Builder to handle both the Registration & Profile but although the CB is free you need to purchase either their Conditionals plugin or alternately get the third party Community Builder Profile Pro which is able to create different profile types & Registration forms.

The only drawback is that although you can select different user types during registration, & K2 adds them to your list of users, it doesn't automatically add them to your K2 User Groups. So they cannot add items until you add them manually. Which in my case is ok, because I need to approve the users anyway.

While I am at it I thought I would ask for some feedback from the Admins here, this link mentions the same problem about syncing CB & K2 but it's over 2 yrs old, I am hoping I am missing something.

One last thing in the CB Forum has suggested work around for this but my PHP skills are limited & I am getting the dreaded white screen of death.


It says around line 957 begins the function "function saveRegistration( $option )", at the end of this function, before the "}" sign insert this code (it must be a part of the function) ...
Could someone point out where exactly is the end of this function.

echo "\n<div>" . implode( "</div>\n<div>", $messagesToUser ) . "</div>\n";
}
