Hello CB,

I sorted this somewhat by putting any menu's etc with links to profiles set to guest. But while browsing as a public user someone could copy the url of a user and paste it into browser once logged in to access another users profile - getting registered viewing rights on it.

Broadly speaking there are Admin and Registered Users only. Registered Users profiles are set to public view and have to be public. Blogs and lists menu items for example are set to Guest.

In such a case is there a way to prevent some clever clogs from viewing others profiles while logged in?

(Admins can view the Last Viewed, within a Users profile to see if it has been viewed by a registered member, with registered viewing rights, but this would be a reactive measure, after the viewing occurred and not guaranteed to spot it)

(Also Registered User group parent is Public by default).

e.g. Groups tab would not be public, yet I wouldn't want another registered user looking in on anothers group tab.

Kind regards

Hi Krileon,

Well they have to be public as they are meant to be viewed by the public. I don't think CB Privacy will cut it as they need to be public - with no use if they are anything else.

So the Auto Action for a redirect for Registered User viewing Registered User may do the trick. I'll check it out. Haven't done a redirect yet, but will give it a whirl.

Kind regards

Sorry for confusion. Profiles are publicly visible, the public view them.

When a User logs in to edit their profile, they are editing as a registered user.

They could also view other profiles as a registered user, (lets say straight from a link on a list) and what is not visible to the public is now visible to the registered user.

Ok I can control tabs privacy with CB Privacy using Public, Private, and Connections - fair enough.

But I'm looking for a way to stop it dead in its tracks so Registered User while editing their profile cannot view another registered users profile while logged in. (They can view it while logged out when they only have public viewing rights).

In Auto Action redirect the URL is set to index.php?option=com_comprofiler&view=userprofile, if you don't mind what is the condition?

If you still don't understand it let's just leave it off, I have any profile linking menus and articles set to Guest and I can use CB Privacy on the tabs.

But additionally for a profile view re-direct in general, what is the typical condition?

Many thanks

Found this:

CB has no such feature. You can try using CB Auto Actions to do it though. Please see below auto action configuration.

Type: Redirect
Triggers: onBeforeUserProfileRequest
Access: Everybody
Conditional 1: [get_user] Is Not Empty
Conditional 2: [get_user] Not Equal To [user_id]
URL: index.php?option=com_comprofiler

The above should send a user back to their own profile if the user they're viewing isn't themselves.

Should help me.
