Installation

Once purchased, the UserProfiles add-on can be installed via the Remote Install & Update page in JReviews administration. If you see an "Add-on not active" text instead of the Install button, read this article:

Setup

1. Create one or more Joomla (or WP) categories that will hold public profiles of users.

2. Create a listing type for user profiles.

3. Create a new directory for the profile categories

4. In the JReviews Categories Manager setup the new categories using the directory and listing type(s) you created for profiles.

5. Create the category menu item for the new profile categories, the same as for regular categories.

6. In the UserProfiles Add-on Configuration select the Directory that you created for profiles.

7. Select the UserProfiles Add-on option in the JReviews Configuration / Community tab in order to display the profile photo as avatar with for user submissions.

8. Create the menu items that the UserProfiles Add-on provides:

  • Account Menus -> Signup - for the user login and registration page
  • Account Menus -> Manage - for the "My Account" page where users can manage their profiles
  • Submit Profile - for users to create their public profile listing

Theme Customizations

The MyLists add-on theme Jles are located in this folder:

• /components/com_jreviews_addons/userprofiles/views/themes/userprofiles/

These theme files should not be customized in the default location, instead copy them to your custom JReviews theme in jreviews_overrides.
