Hi,

CB looks like something that we definitively want to use on our Joomla-based site. There's tons of useful features, but the real valuable beef for us is the ability to assign custom fields to users, and use flexible lists to display selected user groups. (It's about crew members for SAR vessels that have ceratin competences.)

So we want users to be able to update their normal contact info and some custom fields. Simple. We also want to have some custom fields that are read-only and only editable by a group of selected users (Publishers/Moderators or similar). That also seem simple. But the clue is that I would like to keep these users out of the back-end and offer them the ability to edit any read-only field of any user from the front-end. I couldn't figure out how to do that on my own.

So is this doable with standard CB or with some extension.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the fast reply. Have to look into that option....

Thanks,

Yes, the CB Privacy works as expected and does just what I want. I'm still struggling a bit with displaying the data as I want it, but I'm sure I'm going to sort that out now when I can RTFM.

Just two comments/questions.

1. "Configuration: Allow Moderators to Edit User Profiles "CB Moderators and levels above" Allows moderators to edit a users profile and to add, change or delete users avatars. Moderators cannot edit same or higher-level moderators"

The last sentence here is a problem for me. My moderators are trusted and I would like them to be able to update the protected fields of themselves and each other. Is there a workaround? Or maybe we need two new setting? Moderators can: Update lower groups, Update lower and same group, Update any group. Moderators can update protected fields in own profile: Yes, No.

2. I found out that locked fields are hidden compleately when editing a profile. I would find it more intuitive to gray them rather than hide them. Is that by design or have I missed some setting?
