Only show a field when viewing my own profile was created by wrongjon

Hi again

Sorry I've been trying to find solution to this for past hour and have checked forums.

I want to show a custom text message field to the user but only when they are viewing THEIR OWN profile, not when viewing others. Its just a warning message so its not editable.

I've been trying using the conditional rules etc like

[cb:if user="#displayed" ]To change your status please <a href="/profile/edit-profile/userdetails">edit your profile</a>[/cb:if]

But I can;t work out what syntax or rule to add in the first bit as I want to say

IF the profile being displayed is equal to my own username/profile then show the text message

thanks so much for any guidance
Jonathan

The below IF substitution should work fine.

[cb:if user_id="myid"]This is Me being displayed.[/cb:if]

Exact example for this is found at bottom of our substitutions tutorial below.

You could also use CB Privacy and set the field to have forced privacy controls then set the default to private. The field will only be visible to the users self and moderators.

Sorry I couldnt see the wood for the trees as I scanned over all those examples but that works fine thank you

With the privacy I checked that too but when i choose forced i only see user groups

private is not an option so do I need to set that in the privacy plugins settings perhaps - ill check that out later

thanks again

Ensure within CB Privacy > Parameters > Privacy that the Private rule is enabled.
