[#5450] Problem with activity plugin and jquery.validate.min.js in backend

Hello,

I want show a third party cb tab and the cb activity tab togehter on a tab with some fields. Therfore I created a html field with following substitutions and put it on the destination tab.

Content of html field:

<Title for third party tab>
[cb:usertab tab="25" user="#displayed" /]

<Title for activity tab>
[cb:usertab tab="33" user="#displayed" /]

In Frontend anything works fine. But not in backend. When I try to edit a user profile it is not possible to save the changes. I saw there is a conflict/error in js file jquery.validate.min.js.



When I disable the html field, error is gone.

Question: I don't need the tabs in backend. Is there a possibility to prevent loading in backend. Maybe with conditional substitutions instead of?

Thanks for help!

You can't display CB Activity in profile edit. It'll break the form and cause issues like you're experiencing. At this time there's no way to suppress a field from backend profile edit as it'll ignore the edit parameter on purpose to avoid normal fields being missing from backend edit. A substitution would be a good way to avoid this. I've added a feature ticket to implement a new IF substitution so content can be loaded specifically for backend/frontend using substitutions. At this time I unfortunately do not have a solution for you.

I am very impressed! I have seen the ticket is already closed and the feature is announced to version 2.0.11. Thank you very much!

As a workaround I hide the tabs from viewing by admin with an example from your documentation:

[cb:if user="#me" username!="admin"]<title for third party tab>
[cb:usertab tab="25" user="#displayed" /][/cb:if]

[cb:if user="#me" username!="admin"]<title for activity tab>
[cb:usertab tab="33" user="#displayed" /][/cb:if]

Yup, that'll work temporarily. Once the feature MR has been reviewed and merged it'll be available in a nightly release. The below syntax in your case is what you'd use once merged.

[cb:if application_context="frontend"]
<Title for third party tab>
[cb:usertab tab="25" user="#displayed" /]

<Title for activity tab>
[cb:usertab tab="33" user="#displayed" /]
[/cb:if]
