Additional postal address for some CB users

Hi all

The CB website I am developing has a requirement for some members to have an additional postal address associated with their user ID. This address will be public-searchable from the front end, whereas the main postal address must be private. Only users assigned to a certain CBJive group will have the facility to add the extra public address. This facility should of course only be available through CB and therefore not extended to Joomla users.

Ideally, this extra info should be in a separate db table, so as not to clog up the com_profiler table with too many potentially empty (unused) fields. I'd really appreciate any help or advice on this. Thanks in advance

Create a new set of CB Fields then simply display them on profile edit. Storing them in a separate database table is not ideal as it would require custom fieldtype plugins as you can not specify what table you want a field stored to.

To display them based off being in a specific GJ group you'll need to use CB Query Field to query the database to see if they're in a specific group or use GJ triggers to update a field with 1 or 0 based off their join status of your specific group using CB Auto Actions.

Next you'll need to use CB Conditional to conditionally show/hide your new address fields based off your query field (use Custom Value and substitute it in) or against your field that you're updating with CB Auto Actions.

Many thanks for the swift and full explanation, which all makes very good sense, even to my half a brain! Will try this asap. Regards, chadders
