Usergroup specific Fields

Hey there CB-community,

I'm Julien. Im new here.
_{I'm not very familiar with programming. My last website was about 10 years ago and many things have changed. But these days I have no other choice than getting into it again because I'm in charge of a project which needs a website.}

- My website is mainly created for users divided in -2- usergroups.
For example let's say there's the group FURNITURE and the group ANIMALS.
- Depending on the usergroup there is different information I want to show up in the profile. For example:
for FURNITURE users: which material are you made of? (wood/metal/plastic/other)
for ANIMALS users: which domain do you mainly evolve in? (water/air/land/space)
- So I want for each group only the relevant fields to show up in the profile. Anyhow, the information should still be visible for all users.
For example: only on FURNITURE profiles you can see what material they're made of, but ANIMAL users can see this information on a FURNITURE profile too.

As far as I've seen, there's no direct functionality to provide this. But is there a workaround maybe?

_{I'd like to work with CB, but maybe it's even easier in the basic Joomla user-management. I'm open to switch back again. In this case - as it's a CB forum - just send me a PN and let's leave this topic clear of off-topic info.}

Thank everyone for even reading this

You would need CB Conditional for that. It lets you show/hide tabs/fields based off the values of other fields and other conditions (even usergroup). You'd then have a Select field to set the type of profile and then condition your other fields to show or hide based off the value of your profile type field. You can find more information about CB Conditional below.

You can also demo it directly on our demo site below. Note you need to be logged in first so click "User" under the "Login As" menu on the left.

You'll then be on the profile edit page and its Demo tab which contains multiple plugin demos. Scroll to "CB Conditional" header to check out how it shows and hides things based off the values of other fields.

Thanks Kyle!

I only need this distinction in one very specific case.

Is there a possibility to manually set it up via the layout parameters using some sort of if/then code?

You can try using substitutions. See the below tutorial for substitution usage information.

Works!

Many thanks.
