User profile not private!

You could manually fix the permissions or run a database query to fix the permission for existing users. All future users would be fine as the patch would ensure they've the default applied. We've plans to massively improve privacy settings with release of CB 2.0 (I've already started the new Privacy API Library for CB 2.0).

All privacy settings are stored in _comprofiler_privacy. If the user has no row here then the defaults as defined in backend after patch will take affect after the user saves their profile.

With patch applied you won't need to worry about this as it'll use whatever default you set.

Will the patch need to be reinserted every time there's an upgrade to CB? And do I need the patch at all if after I run the query for existing members the setting is set to private?

I plan to let new subscription know about the privacy setting, so they are aware

The patch is applied to CB Privacy it self so no you won't have to re-apply when upgrading CB or anything else, except for CB Privacy, for that matter.

Great. I'll give it a go then.

So to confirm, there are two patched to apply Part A Rev 1 and Part B

Again, not being familiar with the process (I will google for instructions!) I see green and red highlighter code - where can I get info on what that means. :huh:

From my earlier search about patches I understand it to be about replacing code or adding code within the plugin.

Correct.

Basically red means remove and green means add. If you're on windows you can try using a program like WinMerge to apply the patch (it's free).

Correct.
