joomla 2.5 profile plugin

Hi,

Yes, we have built it on our end. It will be included in next version of HikaShop.

Let us know if you find any problems.
We're starting the testing phase for next release today.

Sure, just download it in my previous message and install it.

It adds the hikashop custom user fields in the profile edition page.

By default, there is no address fields on the user profile.
HikaShop's addresses are not compatible with Joomla's 2.5 addresses, so no.
You should keep deactivated the joomla address fields, in order not to confuse users.

You can create custom fields of the table "user" via the menu Display->Custom fields in HikaShop (in commercial editions only).
These fields will appear on the HikaShop registration form and on the checkout registration form.
With that new user plugin, they will also appear on the user profile page so that the user can edit them.
These fields are stored in the hikashop_user table and are not compatible with the joomla user fields. They are a replacement.

You can create a joomla user plugin for that.
You will need to insert/update the address in the hikashop_address table. It will be better than adding a new entry each time I think.
Also, note that even if the fields have the same name, their value might not be compatible.
For example, the states and country fields in HikaShop uses the namekey of the zone data from the hikashop_zone table. So you might need additional logic based on ho you create your fields in joomla.

There is already a user profile plugin included in the latest versions of HikaShop.

You just need to create custom 'user' fields via the menu Display->Custom fields.
