Mambo 4.5.1/Community Builder Integration

[charleshardt]

I posted what should be the first article in this post in another thread. But I believe this ought to be a new topic, as it is vital to my website--and I'm sure to other's sites--to be able to use both the SMF port AND the Community Builder component.

I am not a developer, and my php knowledge is limited. I am having to learn quite a bit as the needs of my website dictate. I have gotten along fine so far installing components and modules and modifying them (sometimes to a great extent) to fit the bill. So any help is appreciated.

My thinking is simply to integrate smf_registration with com_comprofiler so that :

• registration will use the comprofiler registration form (which contains the admin-defined required fields)
• upon registration, a new member will be added to the comprofiler table in addition to those that are presently added to com_users and smf_members.

No bells and whistles--just basic integration.

I have looked at smf_registration and com_comprofiler, and it seems that the easiest way would be to incorporate smf_registration INTO com_comprofiler, rather than the other way around. How the best way to do that is, I don't know yet.

Any ideas? Is this something that interests others?

Just a note, you could also use theme options to store these extra details on the forum, but it's probably not as simplified.
