Hello,
What I am trying to do with my CB is launching an application form to select students for a course. So, I want applicants to create an account, enter some data, upload some files (CV, passport...) and so on... Well, I have already managed to get all of this working on my site.
The problem now is: how can I have applicants submit their data once and for all? I mean, we have a deadline and I want applicants not to update any of their submitted data after that deadline. How can i do that? Can CBSubs help me with this?
Best approach is using CB Redirect incubator project available to professional subscribers. The first step is to create a date field set to read only or using CB Privacy available to both advanced and professional subscribers to disable editing of the field in profile edit. Once done you'd create a redirect in CB Redirect using the on before profile edit display trigger conditionally checking against your date field. If it's a match then redirect them to a URL of your choice. This would prevent them from editing their profiles after the specified date in the date field.

Thank you for your reply. So, I think I'll get a subscription and install CB Redirect for the deadline matter. But I also needed another function, that is a way for users to submit their application (contact info, files in the profile gallery etc...) even before the deadline, simply by pressing a button, let's call it "submit your application". So, if they press this button, they cannot update their data anymore (or all the fields in a tab), all fields become "read only" and only administrators can edit them. If possible, users receive an email confirming that their application has been successfully submitted...
Sorry for asking too many questions, but I just wanted to make sure (before subscribing) that I'll be able to do what I need to do on my site. Thanks
Hello, I have a similar question. I also need part of my users to register, enter some data and then finally submit everything, without being able (after submitting) to make any update. Is this possible with CBSubs or other plugins from joomlapolis? I know I could be using other components to create forms, but if possible, I would prefer doing everything with CB.
