Hi, I'm wondering how to do the following:

  • change labels on some fields (I just update the html file?)
  • add fields that are already in the user table. Kurt, you mentioned this to me once. I want to use first name, last name, and username fields
  • hide fields - I only want one or two fields in the Extended info tab

So, any ideas on if this is possible and how to do it?

Thanks John

  • Labels are changed in settings.
  • User data is in __SELF__.user variable in component.
  • Hiding fields - Edit partial by adding partial in CMS backend saved as "ExtendedInfo/extended-info.htm":
       {% set epsettings = __SELF__.epsettings %}
    <table>
        <tr>
            <td class="kurtjensen-profile-label">{{ epsettings.per_text_1.label }}: </td><td class="kurtjensen-profile-data"> {{ epsettings.per_text_1.value }}</td>
        </tr>
    </table>

    {{ dump(epsettings) }}

    {{ __SELF__.user.name }}

That should get you started.

Hi, Kurt, thanks for your response and forgive my thickness, but...

  1. what settings? Where? I found httpdocs/plugins/kurtjensen/profile/models/settings/fields.yaml and edited the labels there but no effect on the form. Can't imagine it's a caching issue.
  2. Sorry, in which file do you mean? User data is there, and then what? I just want to show the surname field, for instance. It's in the user table but not defined on the first tab of the profile.
  3. Nope, that makes no sense to me either... "Edit partial by adding partial" And the settings won't be updated when I update the plugins? Even if I had any clue how to change the files. This is too confusing for me. I'll have to figure something else out. I'm just looking to do something simple here.

  1. http://yourdomain.com/backend/system/settings/update/kurtjensen/profile/settings - in the Backend

  2. When you add the "ExtendedInfo" component to the page the user data is loaded and held in a variable so it can be output in the partial as:
    {{ __SELF__.user.name }} {{ __SELF__.user.surname }}
  1. http://yourdomain.com/backend/cms - add a partial and save as "ExtendedInfo/extended-info.htm" See: https://octobercms.com/docs/cms/components#overriding-partials

Amazingly enough, I got something working. I made a partial, a copy of both the display and update html files as such: /var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs/themes/rainlab-vanilla/partials/ExtendedInfo/extendedupdate.htm /var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs/themes/rainlab-vanilla/partials/ExtendedInfo/extended-info.htm

And on the display page, I just reference the component as such: {% component 'ExtendedInfo' %} and the component doesn't display, only the partial does. Great! But I only want one field to display from the extendedinfo component. What I really want is to rename, reorder, and hide some fields from the main user component. And I want both components merged together - not with 2 separate edit buttons. So, how do I rename, reorder, and hide some fields from the main user component? I tried the exact same thing as with the extendedInfo but it's not hiding the original component and showing the partial - it's ignoring the user partial when I use {% component 'MyInfo' %} . Any ideas? Many thanks in advance, John
