Problem with build 2.8.0 2023.02.23

Hi,
I am using the params field to show the core-Joomla privacy consent field in the registration form.
After installing build 2.8.0 2023.02.23 this field is not shown anymore.
When I rollback to build 2.8.0 2023.01.27, the field shows up again.

Could you please check? I need the core Joomla privacy consent field in the registration form.

Thanks a lot!

Kind regards,
Frank

Joomla 3 or Joomla 4? Appears to be displaying perfectly fine for me in my tests on Joomla 4. Please be sure your Joomla privacy consent plugin is configured properly (published and public access) in addition to the params field in CB > Field Management being configured to display on registration.

 

Additionally is there a reason you're using Joomla's privacy consent plugin over CB's Terms and Conditions fields? You can force them to verify consent by toggling that on in Community Builder System plugin within Extensions > Plugins. This would give you an unlimited amount of terms and conditions fields that you could verify consent for as needed and integrates directly with CB.

Hi!
It is Joomla 4. I am using this for a long time now. The field just disappears with build 2.8.0 2023.02.23 and appears again when I downgrade to 2.8.0 2023.01.27.
The usage has historical reasons. And for my knowledge, using CB would require to start all over again, right? No migration of the consent from core Joomla to CB, right?

Best,
Frank

I'm not sure what to suggest. It's displaying fine for me. Within Extensions > Plugins unpublished "Community Builder System plugin" and go to Joomla's registration page (URL below) and see if it shows on Joomla's. If it doesn't then something isn't configured properly. Note you may need to turn on Joomla's registration if turned off in Users > Options to test this, but suggest turning it back off once done.

index.php?option=com_users&view=registration

And for my knowledge, using CB would require to start all over again, right? No migration of the consent from core Joomla to CB, right?

You could migrate from Joomla's to CBs using a database query. Joomla's privacy consent state and consent date are stored in _privacy_consents and CBs is in _comprofiler as 2 columns 1 for state and 1 for date for each terms and conditions field (their column names are same as your field names). The below for example would migrate Joomla's privacy consent to CBs acceptedterms terms and conditions field.

Note if you use the above be sure to adjust the jos_ table prefix to whatever yours is. If your privacy consent is a separate field just replace "acceptedterms" in the above with your fields name.

Thanks, but please keep in mind that I do touch my configuration at all. I am just updating the component. And this causes the consent to disappear. I guess it has to be an issue in the new build. The consent appears again when I rollback.

The way we were previously loading Joomla's registration and profile edit fields was directly loading the XML. We're using Joomla API now. So Joomla's API is not outputting that field. That typically means it's not configured correctly. Please perform the steps mentioned above to make sure it's rendering on Joomla's registration form. If it is we can investigate further. If it isn't then please check your configuration until it does.
