Is there a way to turn off nickname in the "edit user profile as we are not using this field? I have looked in views and ACL to no avail.
Thanks,
Andrew
Hi Andrew,

Unfortunately there is no setting to turn this off. You would have to template override the following theme file to remove that field from the edit profile page(http://take.ms/G1im1).

OK thanks! I followed your approach, but can't find where to edit the dashboard/account/profile.php

It's not listed under the theme template editor...how would I access it as in your screen capture?

Hey Andrew,

It is available inside Wireframe theme(http://take.ms/DnG5V) where most of the theme files are.

The other themes only have a limited number of theme files.

Let me know if you are able to locate it in the wireframe theme.

Unfortunately, we are using nickel because we like the two column layout. Can that theme be edited to remove nickname and website from the edit profile page, since neither are being used?
Thans,

hey Andrew,

What my colleague mean is the user edit profile HTML code actually under Wireframe theme as well. In other word, when you edit the code as what my colleague described at above, it will get effected when the user use Nickel theme.

By the way, you can try download my attached file and replace into this template override file location JoomlaFolder/templates/YourCurrentTemplate/html/com_easyblog/dashboard/account/profile.php

Note : for those new folder you have to manually create it.

Fixed this as per recommendation, also removed the facebook page link on Edit my Profile. I cannot find the file that defines the "Blog" section on Edit my Profile - I want to comment out the website link section...see attachment.

Thanks,
A

Hey Andrew,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. This is currently not configurable but you may edit the file /components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/dashboard/account/blog.php and remove the codes below,

[gist]
<div class="form-group">
<?php echo $this->html('dashboard.label', 'COM_EASYBLOG_DASHBOARD_BLOGGER_WEBSITE');?>

<div class="col-md-8">
<?php echo $this->html('dashboard.text', 'url', $this->escape($profile->url)); ?>
</div>
</div>
[/gist]

Thanks Mark...I guess I couldn't find that in blog.php when I looked in the themes>wireframe>editfiles backend. But once I looked on the server, there it was!
Thanks again.
Andrew
