A field? Could you give more details, please. How does the user register on your site?

Some rough ideas and thoughts...

with Joomla core: - activate the new J25 User-Profile plugin, which offers some extra fields - There is also an interesting Author-Info-Box Plugin, which utilizes User-Profile fields - Maybe AIB can be modified to work on Cobalt pages OR called directly in Cobalt custom template?!

**Load and sync user-data into Cobalt fields:

**- you could load user-data with the powerful custom SQL parameter in some Cobalt fields!

**Load user data in custom template:

**- Maybe it makes sense to load the data in a Cobalt custom template http://docs.joomla.org/JUserHelper ::getProfile/1.6


$profile = JUserHelper::getProfile($userid); echo $profile->profile['website'];

BTW, you might also use Cobalt itself as an extended profile storage ;-) Create a section "profiles" and a type "profile". Limit submission to 1 entry. Then you might relate other content to this profile.

sorry it is not really clear, i have a section "blogs" in this section there is every post from every blog from each user. When i read a post at the bottom of article i have an are where there is : name of author, medals if it is a good contributor (i know i 'am dreaming ;) ), picture, and "go to his blog", go to his shop (there is a small list of every personal catagory from him) and others articles from this author

THis is not dream. It is all possible. You just described your way how it looks. So you need to make custom template. Because you want it at the bottom of the article. And you need some extra links there.

The only thing we miss now is autor karma or user rating. But that will be in Cobalt 8.

You can build excellent forum! The key for forum building is templates that looks more intuitive as usually forums looks. Category index template, record list and record with comments.

No rode map for 7. Just like it is now. We start integrations and section packs but without chnaging anything in Cobalt 7. New features inside Cobalt only in version 8 now.

Because if we continue to add features, we never stable. We always test new features. We want to cut and release stable version which will accept only new builds with bug fixes.
