[SOLVED] Auto Group Creation

I would like to allow the users at registration to create a unique group or join an existing one, based on their last-name. I was looking at the instructions but they look a bit confusing for me. I did not find where to pick up the fields to be used to create the group and the logic that would allow them to join one that already exist. I am sure I missing something but after working on trials for hours I decided to ask. I would like to use the same concept to concatenate five fields into one for display only. Can you give me lead way?

Please review the below tutorial as it explains how to create groups based off registration data.

The name of the group can be a substitution such as [name] or whatever you like. Please see the below tutorial regarding substitution usage.

Thank you Kyle. I was able to get the groups going. I will try to see if I can use the same function to update a field in the #__comprofiler with concatenated information from several fields from the same table.

update a field in the #__comprofiler with concatenated information from several fields from the same table.

Probably don't need to do that. You could use CB Query Field then just query for the information you want and it'll output it as a field on the users profile.

Thank you kyle. I tried it before but I had issues on displaying more than one field on the CB Query field and I wanted to display five fields. I thought on concatenating tghe fields into one and display that field would work. Let me ask, how would you about it on displaying all those fields into one CB Query field?

A separate question, the calendar only goes back to year 1904. Is there way to get it back to 1800's and 1700's?

Thank You Again

Let me ask, how would you about it on displaying all those fields into one CB Query field?

Couple ways you could do this. You could use CONCAT and combine them or set the query field to output multiple columns. Both exampled below.

CONACT Method
Query: Output: Single Row
Columns: Single Column

Multiple Columns Method
Query: Output: Single Row
Columns: Multiple Columns
Display: Delimiter
Delimiter: Space

A separate question, the calendar only goes back to year 1904. Is there way to get it back to 1800's and 1700's?

You can go back as far as you want. Edit your date field and adjust the minimum year as needed.
