Hi,

When we create some custom profile fields like GENDER and COUNTRY they create them fine but when a user selects the values at the front end (ie Male / United Kingdom) it actually stores their answers in the database as COM_COMMUNITY_MALE and COM_COMMUNITY_LANG_NAME_UNITEDKINGDOM.

Is this something you can help us with

Thanks
Carly

Hi, Carly Southern.

It is designed to work that way. Thanks to it gender is automatically translated on multilanguage sites.

But you could change that :) But it involves a core file hack :( It means that it will be overwrite during JomSocial upgrade... so you'll need to have a safe copy of you customized file.

Find this file: ROOT/components/com_community/libraries/fields/gender.php

and change in 38 line this:

$options = array("male" => "COM_COMMUNITY_MALE", "female" => "COM_COMMUNITY_FEMALE");

$options = array("male" => "Male", "female" => "Female");
