Hello there

I remember having done a lil research on this 2 or 3 weeks ago.
The result was, that there is no way to controll that case from within the systems interface, and the only solution would be a CB-hack. But maybe i just didn't come across the better solution.

The task is simple:
Some fields in the profile should only be visible for users, to who a connection has scessfully been established.
If i rebenber right, the variable in the CB-user object is calles isBuddy, and the DB table in which those connections are stored is called "members".
In front- and backend related the mechanism is called "connection8(s)".

So my question is:
Is there a way to controll field-visiblility and to realise my due via CB-interface/backend - maybe with/if having CBSubs - and i just missed it,

or do i have to hack it up myself in the code ?


Thank you.

Hm, i think there's a missunderstanding here.

Ok, lemme give an example:
My users have 2 fields in their profile:
- description short
- description full

now the goal is this:
as default users can only see the short descriptions of each other.
But when if a buddyconnection has been succesfully esablished, they can see the full-description -fields of each other.


My question is, if this is settable via CB, maybe with CB+CBSbs ?

U mentionald "privacy" : i cannot find anything about it in CB-api, not in the CBSubs-api, nor can i find anything in that way settable for subscribers via the frontend, especially not that they could controll field-visibility themselves in any way ?! All thet causes me to think that there is a misunderstanding here, so for this i wrote the example above ^^

cheers

Hi there.
Thanx for your hint, but it wasnt exactly what i needed.







So, I have now written a plugin that does exactly give that settability to the CB-Managers

It creates the settability to show / hide Community Builder tabs / fields on the condition that profile-visitor is a 'buddy' ( connected member ).

This Community Builder plugin adds a new, applicable condition ' isBuddy? ' on fields and tabs, which allows to show/hide tabs/fields on the condition, that the profile-viewer is a connected member ( aka 'buddy' ) to that respective profile.

Installation is easy via the CB Plugin Installer, just like every other Community Builder plugin.





The plugin is also uploaded to the Joomla Extension Directory.
( Yet has to get approved. Will be at approx 01.01.2012 ).
