[#5183] Hide Profile Fields / Tabs

Hello Team,

1)I am trying to give the users an option where if they hide their Potrait field it doesn't disappear completely. It should show as an Blank Avatar that shows when no avatar image is uploaded by user. What is happening currently is that if a user hides his / Her potrait,it completely disappears even from the userlists which disturbs the page formatting.

2) How can a user Hide or show their Photos to specific users and not all?


Thanks
Pranay

CB Privacy completely removes the fields row from the API call. So it'll be as if the field doesn't exist. This is the intended behavior. For what you're wanting you may want to consider using a checkbox field and conditioning the fields display using a substitution if statement in the fields profile view layout.

2) How can a user Hide or show their Photos to specific users and not all?

If using CB Privacy there's a couple of whats to do this. Usergroup, View Access Level, or Connection Type privacy rules. Aside from that you can't hide from a specific single user.

Hello Kyle,

Please find my response below :-

1) I created a checkbox field but what IF statement do i use if i want to display the black default avatar image when the user does not choose any Avatar? and how can i display a Lock ikon on it to show it is hidden ?


2) How do i achieve this with Usergroup and View access level ?

Thanks

Under Parameters there's a Layouts tab. There is where you can condition the various displays of the field. An example as follows.


Please see the below substitution tutorial for further substitution usage information.

2) How do i achieve this with Usergroup and View access level ?

The checkbox usage won't really work with usergroup or view access level. At any rate you can try by using an additional if substitution. Example as follows.


The above should ensure they've the view access level with an ID of 2 available to them. If not it should show the empty avatar image, but I've no idea if this will work as the above is untested and just an example.

Hello Kyle,

I tried the If statement but there is no change even when the user changes the potrait to Private.

Also changed the position of this field to Potrait tab.

Thanks

Yeah, you probably can't have an IF inside of an IF. Try my first example to see if that'll at least work.
