Cobalt article as extended multi-media Profile - options ?

same thinks a long time ago

A) IMHO, it would be useful to link to a certain article (maybe the first article?) of the user in a specific section. I assume, the user would have only 1 article in the respective "profiles" section. How to do this? A redirect system plugin? An option in global config community integration?

i read on seblod 's forum, they will have an option in section "act like profil" in the next major update, i will post here maybe to do a similar thing

Maybe you remember my old topic/request about creating a user field.

This field would be a modified relate field. --> It can link records to joomla users.

I just can not find the discussion about it anymore. Most probably it was still in the old Might Extensions board.

As a real world case:

Moderators will assign records to users.

In my particular case it would link documents to joomla users.

I think best way is to create profile page is create article in section. For instance.

In global Cobalt parameters you select what section is going to be profile section and if you want it to be required. Then until user submit article to that section he cannot continue with the site after login. Thus we ensure there is article per user.

In this article template we may add list of other articles from other sections.

And if this parameter is set in Cobalt config, profile link will be to that article.

Something like this.

This is very good addition. for example article authors. That is very nice for community type articles.

i also do not remember whole idea would be nice if you create another idea here.

thank you, now i remenber, nice feature, Jacques had a great idea too "when filling the field, a drop-down would appear, with tabs for friends, maybe a tab for authors in the same section/category, a search inputbox and maybe a filter with the same Registration fields as set for Touch userlists"

Yes, similar to my rough idea... something like an extra option for "community integration". Where the actual integration method is Cobalt itself ;-)

Weird ideas to show more data than homepage title & message

Apart from integration in Global Configuration... more weird ideas how to link and use a Cobalt profile article inside current Cobalt user homepage:

• A) load a Records module, article author is = viewed homepage owner

• B) "ReadAlso" field, which relates profile article from a certain profile section. (just as reference link)

• C) "Relate" like Parent/Child fields. But use full view template for selected profile article. In other words, Embed another record.

Sometimes I do not comment your posts, but just keep in mind that I read all of them and find then usefull.
