My site is Joomla! 3.0.2, with Community Builder, K2, and SW K2 Maps.
I would like to build an international School Directory. But since CB does not yet integrate completely with K2, I am guessing that I need to create a separate K2 user group which can be joined by registered CB members.
Following so far?
So, I will have a CB membership which registers members. Then I will have a separate K2 registration for registered CB members. The K2 members will input information about their schools, with at least one extra field for the address of classes. This will, hopefully display on the SW K2 map, so any people who can find their homes on a map of the World will be able to locate the closest schools and read all about what they offer.
Does this sound reasonable, or am I too far down the rabbit hole?
And while I'm down the rabbit hole...I see that K2 users list mirrors the CB users list. Should it be thus?
You could use CB Auto Actions with a Query action to push CB field data to K2 on the after registration and profile update triggers.

I play this little game.
Whenever I get a support reply that seems to give me credit for being smarter than I am, I relay the information to my associates as if I were my idea. This gives them the impression that I am smarter than I really am. That way I can send them out for coffee while I try to figure out what it all means.
Should the triggers be from the front end or back end?
Automatic, Manual, User, or Specific?
Which ACL should I select?
Leave "User" as "Automatic". Set "Access" to "Everybody". For the triggers you'll want to use the backend and frontend after registration and after profile update triggers (just select them from the dropdown 1 by 1). Next you'd simply supply your query within "Query" to push data to K2s user database tables.
Note CB Auto Actions can push base K2 data (username, name, gender, etc..) to K2 using the K2 action. It can also set their K2 group easily. This won't help if you're wanting to push custom K2 field data though.
