Using Profiles like social Media sites

Hello

no news about this

there is planning to use item (a specific content type) as user profiles, by adding intergration for this purpose, e.g. each user can create only 1 item, adding parameters etc

Thanks

that would be nice. When do you think it will come?

Flex will be so much more powerful with some integration to user registration.

thanks

Can you help me with a short code piece to create a new item using PHP code?
(I am trying to create a blank profile page post registration & save it in background)

$user = JFactory::getUser();
$category = 3; // need code here. Should it be category or type?
$newitem = new Item($category); // need code here.
$newitem.owner = $user ; // need code here to set the item as created by this user

$newitem.save() ; // need code here to save this item


many many thanks....

Hello

do you want to create a FLEXIcontent item ?
or a Joomla article ?

Hi

Flexcontent Item... using PHP code.

When user logs in I will check if he has a page (the code for this part was contributed on this forum by another person), if not I would like to create a FlexItem for that user and also set him/her as the owner. Since there will be only one item of that type per user, I can use a FlexMenu (UserProfile Category) and show that as a profile page.



That should sort the present gap I have...

Thanks in anticipation...
