Hi,
i´m looking for a way to get the following achieved. i have several users that might take part in a competition. all competitions are listed in a dropdown field. as well i want to add several other information based on this competition like year, positioning, name of the city....
at least i want my users to add all this information and then be able to see a list of all their competionions in a tab in their profile.
so i have no idea how to gather information that is related to each other and show this as a listview.

it would be great to get a first idea on a workflow as i´m totaly newby to CB

thansk in advance

CB doesn't have repeating fields. So what you'll have to do is duplicate a set of fields (position, name, year, city, etc..) multiple times (maybe have a set of 5?) for them to supply up to that many competitions. You'd then format their output using delimiter fields with HTML and substitutions. Please see the below tutorial regarding substitution usage.

www.allmysocials.com/directory/tutorials/item/233-substitution-usage

I recommend however finding a Joomla extension or if possible a 3rd party CB plugin (as we don't have one specific for this) that can provide the features you're looking for in a more attractive display.

Hi Kyle,
thanks for your lighting fast solution! would it be possible that i capture the date eg with a RSFormpro Form and ad it by mapping into a CB builder database field. I ask as i cant forecast how many competiotions a user will take part in?
So capturing with a form and adding to a CB field could be an idea even i have no idea if there is a way to show contents from other parts of joomla right within a tab of a profile (-> show a list of RSFormpro on a tab of a user).
thanks

That's no different then just having the fields inside of CB. What you could do use use RSForms to handle the forms and the storage to its database (if it allows this?) then use CB Query Field to query RSForms database and display the results on profile (it can show multiple rows/columns so that handles the entire list display for you). Would be even better if RSForms has some sort of CB plugin, but no idea if such a thing is available (we don't have one).
