Ok so its worked out,

If you change a value of the jos_user table via back end admin, you need to log out and log back in on front end for that change to take effect. This is because joomla has a session table that keeps a record of your values in it.

Hope that helps someone one day

Jonnypixel: I think the problem is fixed. For some reason i had to logout and login again for the new variable to take effect? this question by the way was related to calling the new var via a custom front end component view

OOPS…

It seems that it keeps the old value even after updating the value inside the user form in the admin area of joomla.

example:

I have a front end component that displays the value of the new field, at this time the value is 2. If i enter a new value in the admin form such as 5, and then i go to the front end of joomla and refresh the component view it still displays the old value of 2. Even though when i check the database i can see that my value is updated and is also displaying correctly inside the form field itself in the joomla back-end.

I really hope this makes sense

Cheers
John

Hi,

great tutorial. I have one problem though, inside a component view this dosent work.

// no direct access defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');

$user =& JFactory::getUser(); $uid = $user->get('id'); $access = $user->get('accessLevel');

I am failing to get the accessLevel value from the jos_user table

Please help

PS: I have followed every step correct and can see my new form field and can also update it but i just can not retrieve it for my custom component.

And thanks again for this great tutorial.

Awesome, awesome. I faced some issue with checkbox, but could solve after some tries.
get('hasweb') == "reallyhasweb" ? 'checked="checked"' : ''; ?>" />

Thanks dada for this nice tuto.

You are genius! awesome!
I added extra two fields on my 4 websites, and those form work fine. This time I got problem with front end form view. I added two extra fields but does not appear on front end. Finally I researched online, and found you. OMG! your tutorial is amezing! My custom template has the \default.php\ file that needs to add those two extra fields. After adding two fields on \/templates/yourtemplate/html/com_user/register/default.php\, it was works as a charm!

Thanks again Manchumahara!

Thanks for the post – seems that its going to help as a starting point for some changes that i need to do in the registration process.

Is it just me or the path librariesjoomlalibrariesjoomlauseruser.php does not exists and it should be: librariesjoomlauseruser.php ?
