Which profile description are you referring? Perhaps you can provide us some screenshot regarding this section?

Hi Arlex

It's the description in the profile, screenshot attached.

Many thanks
Pam

You can remove these code on this file -> JoomlaFolder\components\com_easydiscuss\themes\wireframe\user\account.php and we will see if we can add an option for disable this in the future release.

// Remove LINE 81 - 88 

		<div class="form-group">

		    <label for="description"><?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYDISCUSS_PROFILE_DESCRIPTION'); ?></label>

			<div class="ed-editor ed-editor--<?php echo $composer->getEditorClass();?>" <?php echo $composer->uid;?>>

				<div class="ed-editor-widget ed-editor-widget--no-pad">

	        		<?php echo $composer->renderEditor('description', $profile->getDescription(true)); ?>

	        	</div>

			</div>

		</div>

Hi

Finally plucked up the courage to do this change and the change for removing points (ticket #269098).

Please could you tell me if my changes to both will stay in place after an upgrade?

Many thanks for your help

Perhaps you can wait for next release version? Because our developer already added this as a setting from backend. In other word, you can just turn off that setting from Easydiscuss backend configuration page, then this description will not show up any more.

Thanks Arlex

Much better to have it as a setting to switch off. We can wait.

Just to mention that it would be really good if it could be turned off for some user groups and not for others.

Thanks for your quick replies

Currently we do not have allow admin to configure this from ACL section regarding the `description` field.

Why this signature is different is because that ACL for `display signature` option is configure to show in their post area instead of the user edit profile page, you can take a look of my screenshot here : http://screencast.com/t/qc6WI8W3OaMO

In other word, if you disable "display signature" from backend Easydiscuss ACL setting, it will still populate that signature field from user edit profile.

Hi Arlex

Thanks for explaining about the signature, I didn't know about this and it will be quite useful for us!

thanks again
Pam

You are most welcome Pam, glad that your issues are resolved now
