Easy Profile - Joomla Extension

Hi,
sorry for late reply, it was night for us

you can use Delimiter field type with Content Plugin.

Example
-Create a field (only available in edit profile) of type Delimiter
-In description put this code:

{user firstname}

Now in your edit profile you will see a field with firstname, you can change firstname with some other Field Alias.

if you want a readonly input you can put in description something like this

<input type="text" value="{user firstname}" readonly="readonly" />

this create a text input with non editable value

{user firstname} syntax become from our Content Plugin, docs at http://docs.easy-profile.com/index.php/article/content-plugin

Hi Robert,
only one thing: syntax like "{user firstname}" show firstname of current user, so if you edit some other user from frontend (with your admin acocunt) you will see your admin data. Try to use something like this

{user firstname displayedOrMe}

it's better

Hi JSN,

After trying to implement one of the solutions you indicated, I realized it did not completely solve my issue, because there was more to it than met the eye.

Here is a more complete explanation of my use case. My website has a hierarchy of user groups:

public

registered

member

officer

[/list]
[/list]
[/list]

General registered users are permitted to edit most of their profile fields, whereas member groups (or higher) are not allowed to edit many fields. The reason for this is that some of the membership data is maintain external to the Joomla site and then automatically synchronized to Joomla database.

As a simple example, one data field is phone number. When a non-member, site visitor registers for an account, once the account is activated, they are free to edit their phone number. A user who is a member can only view their phone number.

I created a delimiter field of "phone_readonly" and can get it to display on the member user edit page, but I cannot get the regular phone field to NOT display on that same page.

Is this possible?

My only other thought was to NOT nest the member (and higher) groups as a subset of the registered user group. However, I am not certain what issues I may introduced in Joomla and other extensions by NOT having the group under the registered user groups.

Any thoughts?

Sorry... the message board did not nest the lists as I thought it would. See the attached image that shows a good representation of the group structure.

Hi,
you can't make a field available for all users and editable only for some usergroup.

But you can do something like this:
You can create 2 phone number fields,
- Phone number 1 available only for normal users and editable
- Phone number 2 available only for members and not editable
