The System - Required Fields plugin is designed to keep your user profile fields filled and current. This is accomplished by redirecting users to their profile edit screen when they have any required field that is un-filled. Until they meet the field requirements, they cannot leave the profile edit screen.

Keep their information up-to-date by setting a "Revisit Interval". When a user has not saved their profile recently enough, this plugin redirects them to their profile edit screen to review their information. Upon saving their profile, the revisit interval is reset and they can once again browse your site.

Additional configurations allow you to remove the field requirements and revisit requirements from certain user groups.

I wrote this plugin to serve another purpose on my own sites, I wanted to have fields that were required for users in the front-end, but not required for me in /administrator. This way I could edit a user profile, without having to fill in field values that I might not know. So, any selected field will no longer be required when editing a profile in /administrator.

Take a look at the GDPR Bundle to save 20% on all of my GDPR extensions!

Features

  • Remove field requirements for configured fields in /administrator
  • Enforce required fields in the front-end with a redirect to an Edit Profile menu link
  • Remove field requirements for configured groups in the front-end.
  • Enforce profile-freshness with a revisit interval

Why is this software free?

I’m ditching the freemium game and giving this software to the Joomla crowd for free. It’s a nod to “Jumla”—Swahili for “all together”—because fragmentation sucks, and I’d rather focus on innovation and paid gigs. Use it, build with it, and if you need custom work, I’m super into that.

What's The Catch?

There isn’t one! I’m all about building tools that empower the Joomla community and spark creativity. This software’s free because I’d rather see it in your hands - fueling awesome projects. If you really feel like paying something, I’d appreciate a review in the Joomla Extension Directory—your feedback means a lot!
