Pro-Feature "Profile information" does not work well

When enabling "profile information" (Pro Features > Layouts), information on the person is displayed on "friends list" and "members list".

But,

- there's no linebreak. So all information is presented in one single line. For example: "JohnMillerScotlandDentist28092072FootballTennis". This format does not really make sense,
- the number of words for profile information is quite limited . So important information gets truncated, and the result in many cases is "JohnMillerScotlandDentist28". Also, this does not make really sense.

So, my question is:
How can I add line-breaks to profile information on friends and member lists?
How can I increase the number of words allowed for profile information?

Hi Dimas,
please see screenshots.

No. 1: how things look with "show profile information" switched on (information from different profile fields is displayed in one single line)
No. 2: when exceeding word limit, profile information gets truncated. So, one cannot see information from remaining profile fields.
No. 3: Screenshot of settings in Profile > Unser Information: "text before field" + enabling "new line"
No. 4: how things look after applying those settings (No.3). Now it looks even more messy, since "text before field" is added to single line of text.

Cheers
Randolph

Hi Dimas,

as temporary workaround I applied the solution found here:
documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/JomSocial_User_Object

Have put the modified "people.browse.php" in /templates/socialize/html/com_community/layouts. So, in order to see the results of your changes you have to rename this file first.

Hi Dimas,
I managed to sort things out by myself.
Added line-breaks manually in "text-after-field" (see screenshot). Moreover, I increased value for allowed characters in "list.php" and "people.browse.php".
So, everything's now works the way I want it.

Cheers
Randolph

Hi Dimas,

just to let you know that this solution only works with multi-profiles.
When in basic mode (without multi-profile configuration), I can insert line-breaks in field "text after field". But the system refuses to store them.

Randolph

Just realized that the line-break feature not only fails to do the job, but breaks the layout of the profile page. So, it seems a good idea to keep hands completely off this feature until the fix is out.
