How many field types exist?
Currently, thirteen field types exist.
Those field types are:
Why should I use profile field type Language select?
It allows users to select a language from a complete list of all languages. Users can also select more than one language.
Use this field type to allow users to display which languages they speak.
Please note that this field doesn't change language-related settings. This field only informs others what languages the users speak.
Use wildcards and logical operators to create more complex filters
Why should I use wildcards and logical operators?
Because the source format can take on multiple values, you have to add wildcards and logical operators in the menu structure, if you plan to use this for the personalization of the menu. You can get more info on wildcards and logical operators here
In the screenshots above you can see that the menu structure uses the wildcard "OR" to restrict the view for all people except those who have "English OR German" written in their profile in the "Languages" category. Only for those people the menu "Berlin" is visible.
