CB Profile Marked as Private or Unsearchable

CB Profile Marked as Private or Unsearchable was created by smanderscheid
Hello there,

I have some users that want access to our web community but don't want to be listed in our online directory or be about to be found via search. Is there a setting or plugin that can help with this? I currently have our lists filtering appropriately, I just want to make sure that these users won't be found via search.

Thanks!
Stacey

Install CB Privacy and enable the Profile Privacy field. They can then mark their profiles Private and won't show on userlists unless view by themselves or a moderator. Alternative is to create a checkbox field then filter your userlist to those that haven't checked the box (e.g. cb_checkbox Not Equal To 1). Then they just need to check the box to be hidden from your userlist.

Thanks so much for your response. I was trying to figure out how to set up the Privacy plugin, but I just can't seem to figure it out ( and i did look through the documentation and video tutorials). When I configure it based on what I think it should be, the plugin only offers a "Private" value for selection, and I thought there would be at least two options, basically "Private" or "Available to Other Registered Users" (which i know is wordy but the best way i can describe it). I just want an all or nothing for these folks so they cant be shown on a list (which we've used an omit filter for list) but also not searchable.

Perhaps I missed a setting?

Thanks for any advice!

You disabled too many privacy rules. Since you want all or nothing then only allow for Public and Private privacy rules, but since you just want all or nothing the simplest approach is to just use a checkbox field to show/hide them on your userlist.

How would I keep them from showing up in a search?

CB Privacy already keeps them from showing up in search if the viewing user doesn't match the privacy set. So if it's set to Private then they'll show on the userlist only when they themselves are viewing the userlist or if a moderator is. For the checkbox field it's a single Yes/No selection and you'd filter your userlist based off that field to hide anyone who has marked it (e.g. FIELD_NAME Not Equal To 1).
