Dear Easy Profile

I am debating whether to upgrade to the pro version of Easy Profile. I have downloaded the free version, and note that you cannot make certain fields read only in the "Edit profile" option. We want to stop users from being able to change core information like their Username. Is this allowed in the Pro version?

Best wishes

Mike

Hi,
Easy Profile extends Joomla User managment (not replace), so to make username (Joomla core field) readonly you can set Joomla parameter "Change Login Name" on "No" from Users->User Manager->Options

Hi

Thanks for your answer. This solves the Username problem, but we still want to stop users editing any information in the profile area (we use Salesforce as our database and don't want to run two). Instead, we want to use the profile area as a place for our users to view what information we hold about them, and then create a contact form creating an email reminding us to change their records in our database

1. I've looked through the forum and note there is a hack to remove the edit profile button- is that the best solution in this case?

2. Does the Pro version of Easy Profile allow you to disable the "Edit Profile" option for core user fields (Name, middle name, last name, email address)? If so, I will buy!

Thanks again

Hi,
1) Yes you can remove edit button on 2 ways
- Hide with CSS: add this at your CSS file
.jsn_profile .btn-toolbar{display:none}


- Create an override without this button
Copy /components/com_jsn/views/profile/tmpl/default.php into /templates/your_template_folder/html/com_jsn/profile/default.php
Edit new file and delete lines 43,44,45

2) Sorry but Easy Profile extends Joomla Users managment, so core field are the same of Joomla. and Joomla require these field.

TIP: if you do not want that the user can change their profile, you can create a empty override of edit profile page. This prevents any possibility to change any data. if you only remove the edit button and user knows joomla could modify their data anyway
