i want to display outsite from the jomsocial component some user information's, controlled bei userID. i have looked in your API docs - but i do not really get any useful information about that:
documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/API_Events

as a sample of what i want to do: i have a team-member-site, the member infos (avatar image, username) are right now hardcoded. i want to extract this informations from jomsocial itself. like a membercard or something similar.

is there any way that i could do this with your API interface right now? to set the userIDs what i want and take the right userNAME and so on...

Hi,

here the doc:
documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Integrating_Your_Component

you can use that for template, module or a plugin. for module example you can have a look at hellome module or jomsocial members module.

Regards

thx you for this info.

i have played around with this code examples. what i get is only the User Name from a custom userID.
i'am working with "Sourcerer" from nonumber in a custom module from joomla.
sample:

<?php
include_once JPATH_ROOT.'/components/com_community/libraries/core.php';
$user = CFactory::getUser( 70 );
$name = $user->getDisplayName();
echo 'User name: '.$name ;
?>

<?php
include_once JPATH_ROOT.'/components/com_community/libraries/core.php';
$user = CFactory::getUser( 70 );
$avatarUrl = $user->getThumbAvatar();
echo '<img src="'.$avatarUrl.'">';
?>

Hi,

I made a test with my test site. getThumbAvatar its works like expected. can you provide me FTP access detail or send me that module to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

I need to have a look by my self. maybe some thing wrong there.

hi Albertus!

i updated the login details in the first post. maybe you could take a look.

Hi,

seem the issue with custom HTML module it self. as you can see the <br /> that you put at source not appear at frontend.
seem that HTML ignored by cutom HTML module. no problem with jomsocial code, as you can see I can echo avatar URL. so that avatar function give the correct value.

I suggest you to create new module instead using custom HTML module.

here the step how to create simple module:
docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Creating_a_simple_m...oping_a_Basic_Module

hi, thank you for your help!

i found the problem :D
to prevent the anwanted HTML cleaning i have to set the (zero) in the {source 0} tag from sourcerer!
{source 0}my code{/source}

now i could use the normal joomla custom module with sourcerer and can easily integrate JomSocial objects :)
