I need a solution for a second profile (company profile) of a user

Hi,

I want to enable that a user who is an entrepreneur can create a profile of his company, where he also has activities, picture gallery and contact page.

How could I best solve it? Would it be possible to have a field that says whether the profile is a person or a company and could be filtered accordingly?

Thanks for tips

Create a field for them to select their profile type. Next use CB Conditional to show/hide other tabs/fields based off that selection.

Hello Krileon,

thanks, that works, I can manage that a new tab appears when a profile is declared as a company profile.

But now to the most important problem: how can a user create a company profile without logging out himself? He has to use the registration form to do this, although I think that a separate form would be better. Do you have an idea?

Second problem: how can I ensure that the created company profile of the user is shown as a link in his personal profile, e.g. in the "About" tab? I have a section "Workplaces" and there could be a link to the company profile.

We don't provide a means of using registration while logged in so there isn't a solution for that unless you create a custom solution for that.

You could have a field for them to supply the user id of the company profile and then display that I suppose. Alternative is use Connections and simply connect the two accounts.

It sounds like you may not need a separate profile. Instead have you considered just making companies Groups using CB GroupJive. Below is a group in GJ for example.
