Hello all,

when creating a new user with activated user-article bridge, an article gets also created that is linked to the user.

At the moment when I import users with Seblod importer, the name and alias of the user-article are saved like:
title: Joomla User - id (e.g. Joomla User - 744)
alias: joomla-user-id (e.g. joomla-user-744)

Now I want the article and title to be the user name, e.g.:
title: John Doe
alias: john-doe

When manually creating a user with my custom user content type, I can accomplish this by adding 2 hidden SD Concat fields with following settings:
user_article_name: #user_name#, Storage: Standard Article title
user_article_alias: #user_name#, Storage: Standard Article alias

When I now manually create a user with my custom content type, user-article title and alias are saved as:
title: John Doe
alias: john-doe

Exactly what I need.

But when running an import with Seblod importer, the user-article title and alias are again like described above:
title: Joomla User - id (e.g. Joomla User - 744)
alias: joomla-user-id (e.g. joomla-user-744)

So clearly, the SD Concat fields are not executed on import.

Is this standard import behaviour or is there a way to tell the importer the article title and alias for the user-article?
I tried adding columns "title" and "alias" to my CSV but that has no effect.

Please advise. Thank you.

HI gebeer,

you don't need any anything to change the name of the article.

it can be defined in the plugin "CCK Storage Location - Joomla! User" 

  • Go in the plugin manager
  • filter by type : cck_storage_location
  • Edit the plugin  CCK Storage Location - Joomla! User
  • Change the parameter default title for "Custom"
  • change the patern for #first_name# #last_name#


be sure that you have the two fields "first_name" & "last_name" in your form.

Normally the importer take that in account.


A documentation on the bridge is coming this month.


regards.
