I'm making "Custom Field 1" the location where I will store the link to an external database record for the user who registers. I'd like to make it so this field is only visible by the individual user who is logged in, and Administrators. The record it links to has personal data that I don't want visible to the world or other users.
I found the file showprofile.tpl and deleted {$CUSTOM_FIELD_1} near the end of the script to prevent it from displaying as a temporary work around. Can somebody tell me what the code is so I can replace this:
{$CUSTOM_FIELD_1}
{$CUSTOM_FIELD_2}
{$CUSTOM_FIELD_3}
{$CUSTOM_FIELD_4}
with code that has this logic:
if (Administrator #or# Log in ID = Profile ID being viewed)
{$CUSTOM_FIELD_1}
end if
{$CUSTOM_FIELD_2}
{$CUSTOM_FIELD_3}
{$CUSTOM_FIELD_4}
I am not a programmer, but I do understand the logic. I don't know what the correct variable names are, or the proper syntax for conditionals.
Also - other than the showprofile.tpl file, is there anywhere else where anyone except that user or the administrator would have Custom Field 1 visibility? I'd like to modify those files too.
Ideally this could be a longer term UBB Thread change to the control panel so the fields can be checked as "private" or "public"
Thanks,
Bill
