User custom fields

Post by nmron » Thu Jan 09, 2025 8:42 pm

I have added some user account custom fields.
If I display a user profile I am now able to update the custom fields in the users account.

I now want to link these user custom fields to their Contact profile, so that when I update the user profile, it will automatically update the their contact profile.

Does anyone know a way to do this please ?

Hi @nmron,

I think that there is not a one-click way to link user custom fields with contact profiles, but for sure you can create a tiny system plugin using the onUserAfterSave event to sync the fields by updating the corresponding entries in the #__contact_details table.
