Hi all
I've turned on the bridge plugin because i need user pages (like social components of J! do)
There is instruction how to make nice title from my own custom fields.So we have:
  1. Auto
  2. Custom
and I use custom. The problem is that article alias=article title and I can't customize it...Joomla does NOT create articles = to existing aliases, but creates with equal titles....

So, instead of nice titles like "user_name user_first_name user_last_name" I should invent something looks like "user_name user_first_name user_last_name [id]" . That is also acceptable somehow (but not nice).
I've tried use [pk] - doesn't work in custom. 

In general, i'd like to have opportunity to customize TITLE and ALIAS separatelly.

How can I achieve this?

Hi Jay,

Have you used the SD Field Concat?  It is very helpful for this kind of thing.

Hope that helps,

Hi Randy,
thanks for the reply! good idea.
SD concat field doesnot work as expected - only <content> is taken into account, so page is created like 999, where 999 is user id :)
BUT! if to create SD concat field only with <content>, an later add the fieldid in the plugin settings - it works!

Very important, SD concat field must be with storage.
I find this annoying in Seblod, purposely add garbage in database!!

Hi,

I solved a similar issue using:
#user_first_name#||#user_last_name#||$date and storage Standard|User|name

Another possibility, but ID would be ideal.

I do not understand what you mean about garbage in the database.  Using the SD Concat only stores the concatenated values in the database.  Its very clean.

regards,

Randy

actually, I understand why seblod can't retrieve ID, because it does not exist in database, before store.
Current solution
#user_name# #user_last_name# (#user_username# - #user_page_id#)
where #user_page_id# is the SD concat field, consisting of <content> onlly
