How do I set the default privacy for profile fields? On my system when a new user is created, although I can set the default privacy for the entire profile, each field is by default set as Public. Is there a way to set the default privacy, either for every field in a new profile, or ideally on a per field basis?

Hi Andrew,

rightnow Jomsocial privacy still not support profile fields. you can put user voice at here uservoice.jomsocial.com/forums/101561-jo...ial-feature-requests

Jomsocial is always looking for suggestions of how to improve.

Ok thanks - kind of basic function, even Community Builder support this! ;-)

I did just check the new feature request and some had requested this yet it had been rejected! Perhaps they had not worded it very well? Anyway I will find another way as I feel having good control and encouraging users to set and be aware of privacy is very important (just look at all the issues Facebook has had over not makingit easy for users to be aware of privacy!)

Hi Andrew,

sorry, I correction/re-explain my prev post.

at your site seem registration process not using default way anymore.
by default at registration process user can select privacy for each profile fields, and registered user can changing it at edit profile.

My site is still in beta test stage so no users are allowed to register for now. The issue is that there are existing users who were on the Joomla system and now are part of JomSocial so they need to change things.

Even so, even for when new users register and get the screen you show, it still shows all items set as "Public by default and my initial question is still there - how to set what the default value. Often a new user will just leave everything on the default settings.

As mentioned also, this feature seems quite basic and fundamental and Community Builder can do it!

Hi Andrew,

I reported this as "feature request" directly to our product manager.
