I was wondering if I could i ask the best way forward. I am making a joomla site which will have an advanced registration form. Which I am planning to create with rsform pro. What would be the best method for people to able to search those registered users on the front page .
Any other method that one could or would advice rather than rsform pro like some extension that would ease both the registration and searching as a single component. The search function also needs to be multi optioned. I am trying to take the most informed decision before I start with the coding.
Thank you.
Easy Profile does a great job of this:
https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/easy-profile
See the example at https://www.easy-profile.com/users-list.html for a searchable user list.
You'll need the paid version for custom fields.
I think you can try JoomProfile. Is seems quite useful extension for joomla user profile management. If also has good and fast search http://demo.function90.com/joom-profile/search-in-joom-profile.html
Joomla already has some search components, so the best thing to do is to use it. Actually there is two components that you can use
Search, based on com_search component which do the work on the fly
Advanced search, based on com_finder component which index data and give it back after, it is more efficient and has more functionalities
In both case, you'll have to write a plugin to search user, joomla doesn't have it by default (or you can search some on joomle extensions).

I am trying to set up one WordPress site that allows the user to choose what language they want to see their content in. I am wondering how I would go about showing navigation menus in the language of their choice. Where would I be able to have multiple values for a single menu item (one per language) in the administration area and how would WordPress know which one of these to use?
Are there plugins which allow for this? If not, do you have any suggestions for what I can do?
What you're talking about is internationalization. As a developer you would use the Wordpress Gettext libraries. You should check out the official Wordpress developer reference on the subject the implementation details and use of these libraries.
need to delete or add fields in the registration form,Where can i handle this problem in the Joomla?
i Google this question and get some answers about mod_bt_login.php which is in module, but still can not handle this problem.
I would recommend using Community Builder
It allows you to add custom fields to your registration form and integrates with a lot of other extensions such as Kunena etc.
Do bare in mind that it's quite a heavy extension
Hope this helps
Profile plugin allows the addition of supplemental fields in the registration and profile forms of the com_user front end and in the user create/edit form in the back end.
A simple example plugin with the name User - Profile is included in the basic Joomla! installation as a proof of concept. Much more complex plugins are possible.
Ref: http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_profile_plugin
Example: http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/joomla-25/user-profile/front-end-form
The solution is good and lightweight, but of you need an easy way of managing these fields I'd recommend Lodder's answer or JomSocial, though both are quite heavy.
It's also good if you need to bundle the plugin with your own extension.
I want to develop a joomla 2.5 porfolio extension.
So I need something in the backend to enter a couple of details.
On my frontpage I want to have listed the six latest projects and there will be a page in the frontend where all projects are listed.
I'm new to this whole joomla thing. At the moment I'm reading through the joomla docs and tutorials.
I'm a little bit confused because I'm not really sure which type of extension do I need.
Can all this be done with a single component or a module or do I have to mix both?
Because what I've understood so far a component can just be displayed as a independent page.
And a module has to be included in a page. Like {lastSixProjects}?
Can some please enlighten me a little bit?
If you want to create a page with portofolio only, you may create a component without a module...
If you want to put your portofolio in eg.: articles pages, search page, in a sidebar etc (like a image slideshow plugin) you must create a module (with a component assigned to it)
Please read this: http://docs.joomla.org/Extension_types_%28general_definitions%29 .
I undestrand that you want to put your portofolio in your front page... in this chase you MUST create a module.
Little explanation:
A module is an extension (similary to boxes, or widgets) that are arranged arround a component (in this chase com_content - on your FrontPage). Eg: Ads Module, Search Box Module etc.
A component is a super complex extension (similary to mini applications). It has an administration part and front-end part. All Joomla! pages loads a component. Eg: Content component, Search component etc.
I hope this will help you.
You want a component. Please read this: http://docs.joomla.org/Extension_types_%28general_definitions%29
Agree on 2 previous answers, you need a component with at least one table to store your projects. Then you need to link to a menu a view of the elements on a table. You should be able to make it work in 15 minutes with this component creator for Joomla http://www.component-creator.com/
I am using symfony 1.4.8 with sfDoctrineGuardPlugin for my backend.
My question is how can i customise sfDoctrineGuardPlugin's default content? For example, how can i do something on the page between filter and table (on the left hand site)? Or, how can i customize table (http://goo.gl/ZmRey)?
I cannot find any solution for using partials on backend. Is there any way to use partials/components/slots on backend?
I hope you understand my question and tell me a way.
Thanks for your answer(s),
Erman
Partials, components and slots are no different on the back-end to the front-end - your "backend" is just another Symfony application. From the screenshot you gave, it looks like you're looking to customise the admin generator theme.
The quickest way to get started with this is to look in your cache/appname/ folder and see the automatically-generated modules here, with all the template files, partial files and so on. You can then create an empty module in your application, and override select parts of the theme with whatever you want to change. See this part of the Symfony docs for a full list of partials etc, and how to go about overriding them in more detail.
In the specific case of sfDoctrineGuardPlugin-module pages, these can be overrided in the same way as normal modules - simply create eg an sfGuardAuth module and override the selected parts of the module you want to.
If you want to go further and create your own admin generator theme, this is a bit more advanced. Here I will shamelessly promote a blog post I wrote last year ;-) John Cleveley's presentation also provides some great tips.
I have some joomla articles. some values in that article has to be updated by data obtained through a soap call to other site. Is there any plugin available for joomla by which i can embed custom php inside articles?? How can i do this.??
To me, the ideal way is to create a traditional component that gets all the data. This component inserts these values in specified article ids. These articles act as "data containers".
Why create a traditional component? Because you'll be going to use libraries, error corrections and such and a component solution can be more robust. IMHO it's a good idea to avoid php logic in your editor panel.
Then, in the articles that are shown to users in the frontend, using Include Content Item Joomla Plugin, you add {include_content_item 123}, being 123 the id of the article you inserted data you want to show in your component. Doing the {} call outputs the article which id is "123".
Check out the Joomla plugin repository for "custom code in content"
Good luck!
There are a lot of such component, they are more or less the same.
I use Sourcerer, but pay attention as version of php is crucial sometimes.
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/coding-a-scripts-integration/custom-code-in-content/5051
Allows to insert php/js/css code to articles and modules.
