Address checks and email cleanup for Community Builder

RadarAddress for Community Builder adds external address and email checks to sites that collect member profile details.

It completes and verifies mapped Community Builder address fields, while checking and optionally correcting or rejecting some registration email addresses.

Joomla core can register users, store email addresses, send activation messages and provide user custom fields; Community Builder adds its own profile fields and registration workflow. Neither core nor a normal template override supplies address-register autocomplete, address normalization, deliverability checks or bulk rechecking of existing members. A custom integration could provide those functions, but this extension takes the extension route: according to the listing, it adds a Community Builder plugin that writes verification outcomes to a moderators-only profile tab and makes them searchable and exportable.

It is aimed at membership, directory or community sites where users enter postal addresses and moderators need consistent, reviewable data. It may suit a team importing or checking an established user base. Sites that collect only basic accounts, do not need postal validation, or already have a separate verification service have little reason to install it.

The plugin is free, but the listing requires a free RadarAddress account and API token. It says the first 50 contact checks and 500 light checks each month are free, with packs and subscriptions beyond that. The developer is Gianluca Sordiglioni; the Community Builder extensions listing shows two other extensions from the developer and no reviews. Before installation, check the supported countries, API pricing, privacy and retention terms, email rejection rules, and how failed checks affect your registration flow. The listing specifies Community Builder 2.9+, Joomla 4, 5 or 6, and PHP 8.1+, but does not detail service availability by country or the external account’s full terms.
