Question Synch date of birth & gender

Hello, plz could you help on how to synchronize the date of birth, of a joomla user with birthday of kunena and the gender? I would appreciate eny kind of help!!!

G'day, debonair86, and welcome to Kunena.

Could you please explain more about how you are storing the DOB and gender information within Joomla.

Hello, nice to meet you... in the registration form I have enabled the plugin "user profile", so as in the form to show the the date of birth, Im using also k2 and Ive enabled gender field.
So...I want these two fields to synchronize with the kunena fields. I hope that makes sense

I understand. You have customised Joomla to add extra information. Now I hope you will understand our problem: how do we modify Kunena to allow for an infinite variety of customised implementations of Joomla?

At this time, the resources available to the Kunena developers only permit a synchronicity between Kunena and a basic, unmodified version of Joomla. Even here (at www.kunena.org ) where additional information is sought from people who register at this site, we do not have the means, yet, to apply that information to the Kunena user profile and, speaking only for myself, I would dearly love to see that happen. The stark reality is that, at this time, the Kunena user profile is fairly fixed in structure. Kunena still has a way to go (in terms of user profiling) to reach a comparable state with the likes of other products like JomSocial and Community Builder, for example.

However, unlike other Joomla extensions that specialise in user profiling, the Kunena team's goal is to ensure that Kunena is the best possible web-based discussion forum extension available to people who choose to use Joomla to develop their sites. For those people who require additional features that allow for the collection and display of demographic data, there are other Joomla extensions available that handle these things and that also accommodate the ability to obtain that information when users register at your site. I've mentioned two such extensions above; these work with Kunena.

Kunena is open source. This means that if you have the time and the skill (or, if you lack the skill, the money to pay someone to do the job for you) you can modify Kunena to accommodate the requirement.

The short answer to your original question is that, for the reasons I have outlined above, the facility you have requested does not currently exist in Kunena.
