Hika Joomla User custom plugin

Hi,

There is no ready-made solution you could just activate to add a tab for HikaShop related information on the joomla user profile.
However, if other extensions are doing it, then yes, it is possible to develop a plugin for HikaShop to do the same.

Hi,

In your first message you provided three screenshots.
I don't know where the first screenshot was taken, so I didn't comment on it.
Your second screenshot is about the Joomla user account edit form of the Joomla user manager in the backend. So it doesn't change anything regarding GDPR or user access since it's in the backend. And that's why I was replying to in my previous message.

Regarding the frontend, HikaShop has a user control panel. From there, the user can access to his Joomla profile, his addresses, his orders, his downloads, etc.
This can be added by creating a menu item of the type HikaShop user control panel via the joomla menu manager.
That's what merchants usually do to provide users access to their information.
HikaMarket has a similar control panel for vendors, where they can access the orders of their customers, their products, their categories, their vendor information, etc.

Finally, in the settings of the user synchronization plugin in the joomla plugins manager, you have a setting you can turn on to allow the users to directly edit their custom user fields on their Joomla user profile edition page on the frontend.

So I still don't know what you're first screenshot is about, and whether you're talking about something else, but regarding the access of the user to his HikaShop data, what I talked about above should already cover all the data of the user stored in HikaShop.

Hi,

Sorry but I'm still not clear on everything and I don't agree on everything you said either. Nevertheless, I'm happy to discuss the matter.

B. I agree with that. However, I didn't know that Joomla provides the necessary triggers to add elements to the Joomla profile page or the backend user form. And I'm still not clear on whether that's the case, or how it would be possible to display the fields elsewhere on the page, etc.
It seems that you're saying this is possible but I don't know how and for the backend profile edition page I can indeed see in your screenshot that they are able to add tabs there. I don't know how they are doing it so I can't say if it could be done for HikaShop too.

C. Adding a HikaShop tab to the backend user account edit form is an interesting idea. I however don't know how that is possible.
Regarding the frontend, I'm not clear on what is possible so I can't say much. I guess checking the code of these plugins would help in understanding what's possible and how to do it.

D. Again, I don't know of any way to add data to the joomla frontend profile page. You're saying it as if creating a plugin of the group "user" would be the solution, but that's not the problem here. A plugin of the group "system" has the same access to events than plugins of the group "user". If I knew how to add tabs on the joomla backend profile page, I could do it from the system plugin if I wanted.
Finally, the frontend Joomla profile page is quite cramped and not suited to display all the data available with the many views of the user control panel. On the other end, if other components add their stuff to the joomla profile edition page, then if you give the customer access to the HikaShop user control panel, he will have access to the Joomla profile (and thus the other components stuff) as well as all the other things HikaShop provides. Without even talking about the technicalities of how to do it, as a practical thing, I don't feel that the orders listing, the address listing, the downloads listing, the affiliate program, the HikaSerial "serials" area, the HikaSubscription "subscriptions" area, etc could all fit inside the Joomla profile page. To me, it make sense that there is a central control panel for the user on an ecommerce website, which also allow the user to access his profile, and that's what we already do.
