    Hi there, I'm currently using Amember with Joomla 1.6.6 and the Amember plugin for Joomla. At the moment I don't have the address fields in Amember enabled, but I think it was a mistake not to. Now I need to get the data into the address fields -- I know how to do that.

    My questions are, if I do enable address fields:

    1. Will those address fields be propagated over to Joomla? If so, where do they go? Into the Contacts section?
    2. I have JomSocial installed, which is where I intended to put the address info originally. Will the Amember address fields be propagated there also?
    3. I don't have "Auto-create Contacts for every user" enabled in Joomla. If the address fields need to go into the Contacts section, should I FIRST auto-enable "create-contact-for-every-user" in Joomla?
    4. Do I need to rebuild the database to propagate the address fields?

    I have 900 users in this installation, so it's a big deal to get this all coordinated. Your prompt response would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Toolie

    By default Joomla plugin do not transfer address fields into Joomla, this will require simple customization, and it can be done the way you need.
