Must know
  • The screen is Settings → Profile Fields. In the classic view it is CB’s Field Management list, with the same eleven columns. A com_comprofiler admin bookmark opens it.
  • Your club’s own CB fields are imported as club fields. Each keeps its tab and its Required, Profile, Edit, Searchable and Published flags.
  • Members see and edit these fields on My Information, in the section CB showed them in.
  • It needs the Custom Information feature. The import switches that on for a club whose CB has fields of its own.
In CCM, a club admin added profile fields in the Joomla back end under Community Builder’s Field Management. Uplifter Curling has the same job at Settings → Profile Fields:
  • Classic view: CB’s list, with Name · Title · Type · Tab · Required · Profile · Registration · Edit · Searchable · Published · Order. It has the New, Edit, Publish, Unpublish and Delete toolbar, and you click a tick to flip a flag, as in CB.
  • New look: a Club fields card that edits the same fields.
The steps are in How do I add my own profile fields?.

What the import does with your CB fields

  • Type. CB’s select and radio become Drop-down. Multi-select and multi-checkbox become Multi-select, checkbox becomes Yes / No and date stays Date. A textarea becomes Text area, email stays Email and a web address becomes Web address. Anything else (text, code, delimiter and so on) arrives as Text. A choice field with no option list arrives as Text.
  • Tab. A field on CB’s Personal Info, Contact Info, Emergency Info or Curling Club Info tab lands in that section of the member’s record. A field on any other tab gets a section of its own with that tab’s name. A field whose tab no longer exists lands in Curling Club Info.
  • Flags. CB’s Required (required when the member edits their profile), Profile, Edit, Searchable and Published flags carry over.
  • Titles in two languages. A title written English;;;Français arrives as the English title plus the French title, and a description written that way is split the same way. French-language members see the French wording in the signup wizard, at checkout and on their profile.
  • Options in two languages. A choice written English;;;Français keeps that exact value — so every imported answer still matches it — and each member sees the half for their language.
  • Answers. Each member’s value arrives in the matching field. A multi-select keeps every choice the member had ticked.
  • Association number. CB’s cb_gnccid or cb_uscaid column is not imported as a club field. It goes to the member’s Federation Membership number, as USA Curling. See What does the import carry over?.
CB’s Registration flag never drove CCM’s signup form, so it is not carried over. The import builds your Your information step from CCM’s own Step 1 list. To ask a club field at signup, turn on its Registration switch afterwards.
