Hide user profile fields regarding social media

11 years 5 months ago

I have been looking for this problem in more directions, but cannot find a solution.
Each Joomla user has a number of fields available to edit as his or her profile. These fields include items like name, address, birthday etc.. But also a large number of social connections can be filled in. Twitter account, Skype, Google+ etc.

I would like to hide these items from view when offering a user the edit-profile-fields.
Can this be done?

Thanks for your effort,
Ben

Hi Burnardo,

Open the edit_profile.php file in the "[root]/components/com_kunena/template/nts_kargo/html/user/" path. Go to about line 76 and remove below php code section.
Code:
<?php $i=1; foreach ($this->social as $social) : ?> <tr class="krow<?php echo (++$i & 1)+1;?>"> <td class="kcol-first"><?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_MYPROFILE_'.$social); ?></td> <td class="kcol-mid"> <span class="editlinktip hasTip" title="<?php echo JText::_("COM_KUNENA_MYPROFILE_{$social}"); ?>::<?php echo JText::_("COM_KUNENA_MYPROFILE_{$social}_DESC"); ?>" > <input type="text" name="<?php echo $social ?>" value="<?php echo $this->escape($this->profile->$social); ?>" /> </span> </td> </tr> <?php endforeach ?>

Hope this helps

Your help did it.... all the way ...
Thank you for that.

Now all the "edit profile" items for social media are gone, and I like it that way. Not everyone is fond of these nagging creatures...

Now that you have solved one question, can I put another one, please...

I have been searching all over and found only a few that helped me find scraps of what I am really looking for.
The date format for birthday in the same "edit_profile" only shows "Year" "Month" "Date", while I would like to turn this around to the European style: "Day" "Month" "Year".

I did change the language ini-files, but they do not have the desired effect. ( [root]/language/en-GB/en-GB.ini ... and in my case also: [root]/language/nl-NL/nl-NL.ini )
So, maybe you can help me understand where to change the date format so that a birthday will be shown as: d M Y and also the guiding Tooltip line is adapted to: "Birthday: Day (DD) Month (MM) Year (YYYY)".

Thank you for our kind and effective effort,
Burnardo
