Hi

I'm not sure if this is out of the support scope, but I am wondering if I could have some assistance on hiding a field group from the edit profile information page? I don't want users to be able to edit some information after registering, such as gender and date of birth

I think a small snippet of php should do the trick but unsure

Hi Alan,

you should hack/override this file components/com_community/templates/jomsocial/layout/profile/edit.php, you need to know the field ID do you want to hide, and the put this code inline 60:

if($f->id=='FIELD_ID_1' || $f->id=='FIELD_ID_2' ) continue;

Hi Dimas

This doesn't work for me, I retrieved my field IDs from the database, 3 & 16 to hide Date of Birth & Gender

would you mind provide me the FTP access, I can help you a bit.

Hi Dimas

I have updated the original post with the details for my test site

Thank you for your assistance

Hi Alan,

I just fix this, please you check components/com_community/templates/jomsocial/layout/profile/edit.php, and find :

// hack code 
                        if ($f->id == 3 || $f->id == 16) {
                            continue;
                        }

Hi Dimas

While that hides the field just as I wanted, it no longer lets me save profile updates, it advises that the field date of birth contains improper values

Please check again.. I just fix it.. but I suggest you set those 2 fields to optional not set as required

Thanks Dimas, really appreciated.
