Hi,

I'm busy upgrading this installation to the latest version of JS.

For the time being, members are not allowed to edit their profile.However, they're allowed to see how their profile look like. So in Custom Profile I set all fields to Read Only. Unfortunately that's not working.

How can I simple show a list of all custom profile fields?

Paul





However, I need to create a page where a list of the custom profile fields is shown.

Hi, Paul.

You mean that you want to forbid users to change field values?
Or you want to display values for all fields somewhere else that in About me?

- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your prompt response!

Actually, I want to have both. Visitors should be able how their profile looks like, but not be able to edit the information shown.

Hi, Paul.

1. Prevent users to edit their profile field.
Well as not all fields could be blocked than disabling toolbar links to edit profile data seems to be best solution.

Copy this file:

ROOT/components/com_community/templates/default/profile.about.php

to

ROOT/templates/your_template/html/com_community (if you don't have "html" or "com_community" folders, feel free to create them)

Edit file and in line 112 change this:

<?php if ($isMine): ?>
            <a class="edit-this" href="<?php echo CRoute::_('index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&task=edit'); ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_PROFILE_EDIT'); ?>"><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_PROFILE_EDIT'); ?></a>
        <?php endif; ?>

with this:

<?php /* if ($isMine): ?>
            <a class="edit-this" href="<?php echo CRoute::_('index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&task=edit'); ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_PROFILE_EDIT'); ?>"><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_PROFILE_EDIT'); ?></a>
        <?php endif; */ ?>

Now copy the same way this file:

ROOt/components/com_community/templates/default/profile.edit.php

Edit it in line 17 and remove completely:
<li><a href="#basicSet"><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_PROFILE_SETTING_INFO');?></a></li>

2. Displaying user fields values elsewhere

This could be done by using sql query:
docs.joomla.org/Selecting_data_using_JDatabase

Hi Michal,

Indeed this is the best way to prevent that profiles are edited.

Thank you very much!
