User Profile

Is there a UI to select what details show on a user's profile?

Predominantly I would like to hide 'real name' and 'email address'.

You can change the display of the Real Name by going to Administration>Users>User Settings and choosing Login/Nickname from the dropdown menu.

Individual Users can change their email preferences in My"Your BW Site">Preferences>User then set the Is email public? to No from the drop down menu.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Jeff



This is already checked - the real name is still displayed in the 'List Users' and 'User profile'.



Mmm - ok. Can this be set as a default to 'No' then? I would suspect that not too many people familiarise themselves with their User Preferences initially.

There is nothing in users_list.tpl to change the way an entry is displayed, so you would have to edit that to give your own layout. Just add it to your theme to keep it after updates.

The default for email display IS no
'users_email_display' => 'n'
in the default array for a new record.

Ah, I think I get it now.....Admin sees the email addresses regardless of the 'users_email_display'=> 'n' but Jo or Joanne Bloggs does not.

The real name is still displayed if a user has provided it though, so will have to give some thought to whether to change the registration tpl to clearly state that it will be displayed OR whether I edit the users_list.tpl to take it out completely.

Thank you again for your help.
