Question Custom Profile fields

This matter was resolved. The problem was more about how to display customised information in a user profile but not, necessarily, the Kunena user profile and to link the Kunena forum to a user profiling system containing the extra information. The specific solution involved the use of Community Builder software.

I have the same question.

I have Joomla 1.7.1 and Kunena Forum 1.7. I added 2 new fields to the Joomla user registration using the new User Profile plugin for Joomla (in J1.7).

Aside from that I modified Kunena's template, edited the "editprofile.php", and creating HTML fields and added text, however how can I pull information from the database (User Profile plugin)?

I think this is something that you may like to ask the people who wrote the user profile "plugin". People need to understand that this new "plugin" is a concept, based around a Wiki article that shows people what they would need to do. In other words the User Profile plugin link given in the last message is only a reference to a guide, not a reference to a fully-assembled and supported feature of Joomla.

There is no harm in experimenting with Joomla's features. There is also no harm in asking questions about experimentation here, on the Kunena forum, either. I only want to point out that it may be difficult for people to contribute to this interesting discussion in a forum setting. Perhaps, however, someone may like to contact you directly and suggest a few ideas about what you can do. I, personally, do not know the answers myself.

Good luck and we hope that someone will soon offer to help you with your very interesting project.
