Hi,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

By default the user profile backend is not respect this setting when you set to "Appear During Editing = "No" from the custom field.

Yes I know. The issue is that for some field types (I listed and maybe more), you cannot modify them in Backend: if you modify the value and apply the changes, nothing is changed...

This happen only when the field is set with "Appear During Editing = "No".

Thanks for the heads up on this. We'll see if we can do anything about this in the near future.

I must say that this bug is very annoying for me, because I have some fields the user should not modify (I have set as "Appear During Editing" = "No"), because only an administrator should. And for now the admin can't... and even worse, the field may be reset when editing the profile!

Maybe if it not too complicated I can get a quick fix? At least for Joomla User Fullname, Birthday and Datetime fields?

Thank you

Hi Altitudes,

Regarding the issue where admin not able to update a custom field value if the field's setting 'Appear During Editing' set to 'No', I've fixed this issue internally. For the quick fix, edit the file 'JOOMLA/administrator/components/com_easysocial/controllers/users.php' at line start from 645:

		if( $id ) {

			$options['visible'] = SOCIAL_PROFILES_VIEW_EDIT;

		} else {

			$options['visible'] = SOCIAL_PROFILES_VIEW_REGISTRATION;

		}

And replace the above if-else block with below:

		if (! $id) {

			$options['visible'] = SOCIAL_PROFILES_VIEW_REGISTRATION;

		}

Your code should look like below after you replace with the above one.

The fix will be added into next release of EasySocial as well Let me know if the above fix your issue or not.

Hope this help and have a nice day!

Thank you, it works perfectly well, and this was really important for me!

Hello Altitudes.

Glad your issue has been resolved
