Hi Jomsocial Team,
I customize the profile, exactly as wanted by my users : no problem.
Creation of users and profile completion : no problem.
But :
1/ when my users try to update their profile, changes are not stored. When looking at the profile "About me", the old choices are present, not the new choices ?
2/ they always have on the second tab (acccount details i think) to retype their password, even when they don't want to change it ?
3/ the choices when using checkbox type are clickable, why ? and the link is not working
Thanks for your help.
I'm sorry but I can't confirm your issues.
I edited SU profile that you provided us:
<removed>
I also changed user name from "Super User" to "Super User test" and changes ware saved.
No you don't have to type password again if you want to change e.g user name. Only if you want to change password itself.
Checkbox allows multiselections. If you want one choice fields, you'll need to use radio field.
Links are not parsed to active form in text fields - this has security reason.
- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

Thanks for your investigations. I think i have now identified the problem :-)
It comes from browsers, when you choose to store password with. When you enter in Profile editing, in the second tab, the first field "password" is completed automatically by the browser, not the second "confirmation password" (sorry if the fields names are not exactly theses in english...).
So, the users do changes in their profile (first tab), and when they save, a message error indicates that the confirmation password is required. Normal.
But : when they complete the two fields password, nothing happens, their changes have disappeared. They just save their previous profile.
What i have identified as a bug is that, why changes are lost in this case ? is it normal ?
In the sawe way, when you enter in Profile editing, i'm not sure that all fields previously saved (box checked, text...) appears correctly... I can't check it now, sorry for that.
What do you think ?
Last update : i have the explanation to all problems : the presence of a character "," in the choices was the cause. Replacing "," with "/" has definitely solved the problem.
