kar3n2 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I would love it ( in fact I really need this) if we can give permissions on profile fields. For example in my case I have two distinct member types... business and non-business. The former will need a website URL but the latter ( non-business) should not be able to add a URL in their profile.
AndyF Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I would not (personally) need it myself however I can see the value in having a few options here so that said fields could be based on permissions to some degree rather than having them just private or not.

As I say I can see the value in expanding its scope of usefulness more. It could be done with a third party addon I guess looping though each via permission checks (not sure how resource hungry that would be though unless it was done carefully)
Kevin Carwile Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Rules already does this with custom data fields. Just add a field to members and set the permissions on the field how you like!

kar3n2 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 oh I just found this to study @Kevin Carwile ill try it http://ipsguru.net/documentation/rules/general/fields
kar3n2 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 back to square one for me sorry @Kevin Carwile I am a non techy so I cant make sense of it all... I think an easier option for me would be a simple plugin else Im going to get in out of my depth Im afraid
Kevin Carwile Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 No. The concept would be to add a string field attached to members and set it to public access. Then for the input type choose url. Then simply set the permission on the field to allow only certain member groups to edit it. Done.

Done. yes ive added a field for website url into members profile but there isnt any way to set it for permissions ie for business members only to add thier website
Kevin Carwile Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Its not going to work for the custom profile field you already have set up through core. Thats why you have to use rules for your custom field.
