So noticed this issue:
I have the URL website field as part of registration, but set to not required.

When I set the profile completeness on to go to profile page, it would not let me exit unless I entered a website URL
ES 1.4.2
Hi Darren,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it weekends for all of us here.

It is actually a correct behavior when you have set profile completion check redirection to profile page where easysocial will only allow user to access easysocial dashboard when all of the custom fields is set with a value regardless if the custom field is set to be required or not from the backend.

But the logic does not work on the biography field. That is not required and do not need to fill info there, so why the URL

Hi Darren,

Can you provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can check on the issue on your site?

Hi there,

I've applied the fix inside your /media/com_easysocial/apps/fields/user/easyblog_biography/easyblog_biography.php and it should include the field as part of profile completeness check now. Please have a look.

Hi Darren,

I've applied additional fix for both url and biography custom field on your site and it should ignore the checking now. Please have a look.

thanks. works a treat!

would this revert on an update?

Mark: The logic fail here is as follows-
I use JFBConnect to sign user in with social login, thereby bypass the registration. However, I want user to agree to terms of use, hence the profile complete check takes them to the edit profile to add the required fields.

As there are non required fields i.e. Website (user may not have one to promote), the default you have is not working.

Hi Darren,

We will revise the logic with this system in the next future release of easysocial. However for now kindly backup the following files before each update since the fix made is not include in the next release of easysocial yet.
1) /media/com_easysocial/apps/fields/user/easyblog_biography/easyblog_biography.php
2) /media/com_easysocial/apps/fields/user/url/url.php
