CB ProfilePro is a very powerful and useful tool for creating CB profile presentations in any layout you can think of.

When I first got it, I was confused by the instructions which are not as intuitive or clear as they could be (and I am not a newbie). HOWEVER, stick with it, read any and all instructions you can find, look over the forums, and send in questions thru the forums. They will be answered.

Once you get it, it will allow you to easily build CB profile presentations in any style and tab/field layout you want.

Well worth the time and money it will cost you.

I rearly write a review for an extension but for CB Profile Pro, I do this to say thank you to the developer and also for his supports. Profile Pro not only help me to customise the CB profile and have multi profile but also helped me in setting up a full customisable privacy solution for CB (CB privacy in current format has many issues) which is the most important part of any social networking site. Thanks again to the Profile Pro developer for dedicated support.

I have used this extension for a few years now. This extension has given me so much flexibility for the registration page, profile page, and editing area that it is really a "must have" for any Community Builder site. I am pleased to see that the developers continue to work on the project and update the code to correspond with new versions of Community Builder and the support has been fantastic !

This does exactly what I expected, ... gives me the drop down / radio field to have end user select profile type .... which the types are the ones I built via the back end.... Didn't even realize this also allows end users to create their own profile type if you enable that in the parameters/configuration of the component and build a menu item link.
This has given me the much needed control over how my cb profiles are presented.

For all those CB users who complain CB layouts are dull and boring, there is an answer! It took a while to get my head around how it works, but once I worked it out, it was simplicity itself. If your site has different types of users or you are creating a basic intranet, this your answer. Not sure where to start, install a free template and watch it all take shape. Worth every cent...

The ability to offer users customizations to their profile pages via Profile Pro is exceptional.
The client was pleased with the HTML capabilities, multiple tabs and pages and the versatility this product offers.

We had a problem with CB's template, Coolness, in which a div name conflict resulted in a magically vanishing page. The vendor chased down the problem, which probably was not even his problem, and solved it in a timely fashion.

For the $30.00 they charge, this product and level of support are a great value.

This extension has brought our site to a whole new level, we are getting a good 30% more participation since changing to Community Builder and Adding this addon, it's worth every penny.

It does, what it says. powerful component. works in 5 mins. Good support - got answer in 1 hour.

In a nutshell this product is an absolute godsend ! It is an absolute must if you want to use community builder for a website that doesn't look like its from 1999 ! Community builder is an excellent product but the profiles look so out of date, with cb profile pro, you can easily transform your user profiles to look amazing. Its very simple to use yet very powerful and allows for logic to be applied to tabs, content/cb plugins to be placed anywhere, easy wysiwyg editing. Without this product, community builder for me would be unusable... Support is also outstanding, truly second to none - fast response time and always supremely helpful. All in all, a top class outfit and product, with a great value price to match !

Excellent, flexible component, providing great control over User registration forms, and profile views and edit capability..... and for the purchase price it is great value.

Great and stable plugin.
Cheap
My questions were answered and keep getting answered quickly on the forums.
Documentation is not great, but if you have some knowledge and common sense, you'll get it running in no time.
It's the only plugin which exists for this purpose, so it's not like you have much of a choice.
Super flexible! Good work.

This component sounds really good and it looks really good in their Demo site. They were really good and prompt to answer my emails before purchasing the module but after I purchased it they never replied to my emails.
I have not been able to configure the Edit Profile page and there is not documentation on how to do this. Their videos lack that information and they never show you how to do that.
I have sent many emails and have not received a reply. If you don't want to go through a hard time setting this up I will highly suggest looking into other options there are many other out there with better support.

this component allows to customize the design of user profiles, making your web site more and more beautiful; to use all its power, choose your editor with care

I decided to get CB Profile PRO due to the fact that CBProfies don't really have that much flexibility when it comes to not only the profile page but the registration page as well. After purchasing, I had several questions regarding registration pages and integrating them with CBSubs and I have to tell you, all of my questions were answered EVERY TIME and no matter what I needed the programming team was there to help. I'm very excited about what this program can do and will be using it on every single one of my client's community sites moving forward! Thanks Guys...YOU ROCK!

CB default profile is so simple and namby. This is what you need to make your users trustful and satisfied that your site is professional. They will be happy with own professional profile page. I should have appreciated Joomduc team .

This is a very slick component. It really adds a layer of customization that Community Builder should include and I would love to make it part of every Community Builder site that I build.

Unfortunately, the support is really lacking. Some months ago users identified an issue with one aspect of the extension and Internet Explorer. To my knowledge the problem has yet to be resolved.

Similarly, we were told over two weeks ago that support of the new version of Community Builder was a week away. Still waiting.

What we get are instructions on how to fix the various issues ourselves or we are told to use limited functionality.

I can understand that kind of support for a non-commercial (free) application. But if someone is going to charge for a product they should be able to support that product.

Until such time as this product is supported in a professional manner, or it is released as a non-commercial component, I can't recommend it.

Don't be afraid to try Community Builder Profile Pro, but don't go in expecting it to magically give you the profile you want without addressing some funny quirks as well as requiring some design work and and a bit of HTML.

So here's how it basically works.

install all parts (very simple), create a new profile, and then...

well it is the design that took me the most time, as seems to be the same for many users.

There is a WYSISYG editor and you can create up to 7 pages of profile in each, but only a single registration and profile edit page per profile. For the most part, the process is straight forward, but there are some funny things that will catch you up like the fact that on profile edit pages you can not just insert an entire CB tab, you need to work only with individual CB fields and design your own tab content using the Java script tabs offered; this raises alignment issues with labels and fields unless you use DIV or Tables to make it pretty.

Also, the included js tabs feature as currently designed is not compatible with IE8. The rounded corners of the tabs create a bunch of Internet Explorer pop-up errors. There are a few simple workarounds like removing curycorners from the js library or removing the corners data from the css file.

In the end, this product basically does what it says and I did recieve a quick response to my forum post on their site to address issues raised.

However, here is a quote from the developer in the thread regarding the IE issue:

"This javascript tabs feature is not main purpose of CB Profile Pro, that is rather an additional feature. Also this bug is a IE bug, but not a CB Profile Pro reason (in all other browsers there is no such a problem). Thus this bug is not critical and it will be fixed in usual order with the next release.
The ETA is not exact and be delayed."

Ok, fine, but I think everyone should be aware that this is not perfect out of the box and to just point the finger at IE is pretty disheartening. Everyone knows it is a problematic browser, but for a commercial extension developer to say: not my problem, even though I offer a feature, because it is not the primary feature, it is not important to address something that affects a huge base of most sites users.

Ok, that's what I have to say, so go in with your eyes open because the necessary design work for great profiles is definitely a time eater and it does not work out of the box in IE.

Currently costs 19.90 Euros.

I just love this component, there seems to be quite a bit of negative feedback from other reviews and the users probably had good cause, my experience is only positive.

The component is easy to use and lets you place cb fields tabs and menus all over the place, the support has been good up to now and i'm sure if they can help they will. The answers they give are short but to the point.

There is a starter tutorial to get the ball rolling which is great but there could be more documentation to help make the custom profile look and feel how the user imagined.

Thanks for a great component

I'd give this extension 7 stars if I could. It allows you to create really nice-looking profiles and profile edit pages with EASE. Each new version comes with huge advancements. YOU MUST GET THIS EXTENSION IF YOU USE COMMUNITY BUILDER!!! Awesome.

Looks like a neat little extension.

Would this tool allow me to show/hide a text area on a tab based on a value selected on a selection list field on the same tab? Would the user be able to edit this shown text area as well?
