Hello,

I have a whole bunch of tabs within my profile section on my site.

Is there a way to make a control panel or something to allow users to disable certain tabs when they go to update their profiles?

Some of the tabs on my my site aren't always going to be used and look very sloppy when left blank.

Thanks

Will be possible with not yet released privacy plugin.

You can hide empty tabs and fields in CB Configuration too.

I have "Show empty tabs" set to "No" because I want empty tabs to be hidden, but it's not working. Tabs are showing no matter what. One is a CB Sobi2 plugin tab but the other one is just a regular CB tab.

Is there another setting somewhere that I'm missing?

I couldn't find any way to hide tabs from editing, via CB config or the privacy plugin. Valid reasons for hiding them include tabs that only had read only fields, tabs that had no fields, or tabs that I just didn't want to be visible on the edit profile tabs, e.g. Portrait - unnecessary since there is a menu option to update picture anyway. In addition the Portait tab is always ordered first, which makes getting to important and frequently requested options (like for a user to change their password) quite confusing.

In the end I resorted to the following hack:

In comprofiler.class.php, in function getEditTabs, replace with something like
The tabid values are the ones that correspond to the ones you want to hide, and can be found in CB Tab Manager.

This is possible with latest CB Privacy, just edit the Tab in Tab Management and set the parameter Front-end edit: to No.
