Hello,

I have a few ("is it possible" or "how to";) questions about JSN_Profile

1) How can I have a (text) field in the profile (for any user) that is only visible to and editable by admins?
Apparently the "Access" level for a field makes a field visible only if the owner of that profile has that level. I want anyone with that level (say admin) to see that field.

2) Similarly but for the whole profile. Is it possible that Admins also edit (any) profile from the front-end? Now that edit button only appears for your own profile.

3) Is it possible/are there plans for a profile field that allows you to link any type of file (say pdf) and upload it to the server? If not, suggestions?

thanks!

Hi,
1) if you want a text field equal for all users can use the type 'delimeter' . If you want each user to have a custom text to make this change to the file administrator/components/com_jsn/helpers/fields/text.php at line 46 add the follow code:
if($item->alias=="alias_of_your_field" && JFactory::getApplication()->isSite() && JRequest::getVar('layout','')=='edit') return '';

replace alias_of_your_field with your alias.

2) Sorry, but not possible. The Edit Profile Page is a Joomla core page, easy profile controls the fields with own user plugin.

3) Yes, I will develop in future releases.

I don't think that answers my question

Yes, with this mod you can hide the field only on 'profile edit' page in frontend. The user can see the value on your profile and admin can change the value on backend.

Try it.

Hi,
you can set the fields to not available on registration, edit profile and profile page. Admin can see and edit these fields from backend.

in profile page JRequest::getVar('layout','') is always empty, so you can do this
if($item->params->get('hideowner','')==1 && JFactory::getApplication()->isSite() && JRequest::getVar('view','')=='profile' && $user->id==$prof ) return '';



to get id of current user you can do this:
$prof = JRequest::getVar('id',$user->id);

if var "id" is empty then user see own profile.
