Resolved Permissions for users and groups...

Hello

I'm using easy profile and created the menu to view and edit profiles.
While launching a test, users are not able, even to change their password.
I checked the permissions in the easy profile configuration and also the settings of the fields of the easy profile component.

I'm using 2 subgroups under under the registered users group.
- One for the members of the club which should only change their personal information like e-Mail address, address, avatar, password..
- One for the members of the committee which should be able to change more deeper information as License ID, aso...

Can you please help me out? Thx in advance

Regards
Laurent

Hi,
ok, now seems clear for me.

Permission
- Go to Administration->Users->Manage->Options->Permission, and remove permission "Edit" for registered Users (see screenshot 1), "Edit" permission should be allowed only for the committee

Fields
- Set "Visible on edit profile" (see screenshot 2) to "No" for each Special Field (not editable for normal users), with this the fields will not shown on edit profile page.
- We recommend to leave "Public", "Available for" parameter for all fields. Read Tip for more info

Easy Profile Options
- Check in Easy Profile Options that parameter "Admins can show not editable fields in frontend" is enabled, with this all admins (committee users) can see field set to not shown on Edit Profile

Hi,
admins can always edit profile information of other users. Who are Admins? see screenshot of a TIP.

You can set fields like "License ID" to not available on Edit profile page, this field will be available for admins to edit in backend and in frontend (only if you have enabled the in Easy Profile options the parameter called "Admins can show not editable fields in frontend";).

Who are admins? see screenshot with exaplanation in parameter "Admins can show not editable fields in frontend" (screenshot)

Hi,
I think you need to put "Available For" and "Visible For" parameter to public. Read Tips on these fields to get more informations.

About permissions, you need to check Joomla Users Permission and not Easy Profile Permissions to set who can edit Profiles.

Hi,
I have tried to create a new account (username "epTest";) and not problem to change password.

Keep in mind that password require 1 digit and a least 8 chars, and if user do not respect this you have a error. In your site you have this CSS rule
div.alert { display:none;}

so user can't understand why the password is not accepted. (see screenshot without this css class)

Still, I found a permission configuration problem, you have set that registered users can edit profiles, so also "DT Fengig" Users (inherit registrered rule) can have this permission. See screenshots

Yes, because in your site alerts are hidden, you need to remove this CSS rule 


div.alert { display:none;}

HI,
just checked with my test account (epTest) and admin user, with both I can see this field.

All users can edit own field "alternate e-Mail". This field is in edit profile page.

Ok,
this because you do not see error messages, see screenshot

in this case you have 2 users with email "[email protected]"

hi,
test123 is not a valid email address. you need to fix your template issue to see messages. this is not something about easy profile this is something that regards Joomla.

still, keep in mind that if you have user email address duplicated the validation return false and you can t save any data. to save data you need entire form correctly validated.

you can do a simple test also without easy profile, for example if email is duplicated it do not store also name or user name, this is a Joomla behavior.

Hi,
probably for HTML5 and Joomla JForm validation number like "31 34 90" is not a valid phone number. Use text field type for values like this.

No,
solution was:

You need to configure correct permission in Users->Manage->Options->Permission (not Easy Profile)

But it works as I want it...
If I set Edit --> Allowed for Registered users, as the subgroups inherit this, each registered user and the subgroups will be able to edit all user profiles.
I only allow Committee members to edit profiles, so they will override all settings.

I'm sorry but I'm having some difficulties to understand you.

Before you wrote:

- One for the members of the club which should only change their personal information like e-Mail address, address, avatar, password..
- One for the members of the committee which should be able to change more deeper information as License ID, aso...

Now you wrote:

If I set Edit --> Allowed for Registered users, as the subgroups inherit this, each registered user and the subgroups will be able to edit all user profiles.


Now members can edit all profiles because they have "Edit" permission, but this is not what you wrote at the beginning.

Hi,
I don't know why, CSS rule "div.alert { display:none;}" come from your template (or some module) only in some pages (or when user is loggedin).
Anyway this not come from Easy Profile.

I crossed checked this and I flagged the template to use bootstrap when creating it.
I used TemplateCreator CK and the option is "Load Bootstrap" and is set to YES

I changed the bootstrap parameter in EasyProfile but this had no impact!

Hi,
yes this is normal, you do not need to enable Bootstrap Classes in Easy Profile, you template already have Bootstrap Classes.

Post me your site details, we will try to understand from where come this CSS code.

Hi,
ok, found the problem, but I can't solve it.

When user is logged-in, Ark Editor add many CSS, this CSS code contains also a code that suppresses Joomla messages.
I don't know why, but this is very BAD: It suppresses all Joomla messages, so also without Easy Profile (with normal Joomla edit profile page) you do not see notifications. This is not only related to edit profile, for example you cannot see messages from Contact Module or Newsletter forms, or simply you do not see messages when you edit article from frontend.

You can do a simple test from frontend:
- go to some page
- edit page
- see screenshot, in your site missing message.

This is a issue from Ark Editor, you need to contact their support to fix this.

Hi,
Ark editor plugins are always triggered in all page (when user is logged-in), also if you do not use it. As I said, you need to contact Ark editor developers.

I'm sorry but this problem affect your entire site and we support only Easy Profile.
