Support

This is something you need to ask Community Builder developers. LoginGuard is using the standard Joomla method for adding custom sections to the Joomla user profile page. Namely, we're using a user plugin which handles the onContentPrepareForm core Joomla event to add a form section.

As far as I know, Community Builder manages its own user profile fields in a system parallel but not linked to Joomla's. Therefore all standard user profile plugins for Joomla won't work with it.

That said, you do not need to use the user profile field to let your users manage their Two Step Verification. You can always create a new menu type of type Akeeba LoginGuard, Set up Two Step Verification. This menu item will show your users a page with the same controls to set up and manage their Two Step Verification as our user plugin. I assume you could ask Community Builder support if you can add a link to a menu item in the CB user profile so you can take your users to that page.

It's not a variable. There's a whole lot of logic behind it to check if the user has active Two Step Verification methods, if the plugins for these methods are published etc. You are asking me how to reproduce the entire LoginGuard engine.

I'm sorry, there is no simple way to do that. That's why we have a user plugin.

Please remember that enabling, disabling and managing (adding or removing) Two Step Verification methods uses exactly the same page that I told you to create a menu item for. Name the menu item something like "Manage Two Step Verification".

Furthermore, the "User - Akeeba LoginGuard protection" plugin has the "Redirect on login" option. Leave it enabled to redirect users who don't have 2SV enabled on their account to a page asking them to enable it. If you want to send them to a custom page use the Custom Redirection URL option. These features are designed so you can easily do what you are trying to do with an unnecessarily complicated and inefficient way.

Finally note that nothing I've told is new information. Everything I said is already documented. Please re-read the documentation and think again about your implementation.

The redirection is a pretty simple affair. If the currently logged in user has not already been redirected AND has not opted out from being notified about Two Step Verification AND does not have any valid TSV method AND does not belong to a user group where TSV is forcibly disabled THEN we tell Joomla to redirect to the URL you've provided.

I would however advise against putting an absolute URL. Joomla rejects them in redirections. Try using a relative URL, i.e. index.php/2fa-redirect instead. It's the same thing as the redirection after login in Joomla's login module.
