[SOLVED] Advanced Usergroup ACL for access to see tabs on profile

I basically want to know how I might go about setting up a way of having two sub groups of registered which have different profile fields to edit on different tabs

group a
group b


I want group a to edit some parameters which are visable to themselves and to group b but are only visable on group a's profile not group b's

some thing like

group a edit read show on profile view page
group b read only on users in group a not shown on own profile

and the reverse for group b

group b edit read show on profile view page
group a read only on users in group b not shown on own profile

Basically I want to find a way of conditionally editing the profile fields which appear on a users own profile and for that to be different to the view permission for the profile.

Can this be done?

if so if any one would be kind enough to explain how it'd be good.

Cheers

You can use CB Conditionals to conditionally show/hide fields/tabs based off other fields values. You can use a select field to determine what profile type they are then condition other fields/tabs based off that profile type field. Please review the below tutorial carefully to get started.

Hi Krileon


Thank you for that advice.

I have two issues with the conditional plugin at the moment

1. I get a memory time out with the conditionals plugin when adding new fields when it's installed I don't if it's not.

2. I want the CB profile types to inherit the standard user groups but cannot seem to use this to reflect the conditional as it appears to not have a way of being directly mapped to the profile. Where might I find the user type mapping so that I can use the predefined groups?

Thanks again for the help.

Enable debug mode and maximum error reporting in Joomla global configuration. Once done retest and provide the full memory error message. It's possible you just don't have enough memory to use CB Conditional in addition to everything else installed.

You can give a user a usergroup based off a field value using CB Auto Actions. Please see the below tutorial for such usage.

You could then give them a usergroup based off the profile type fields value.

cool this works for fields which I only want the user to see but this is slightly different.

I want the user to see the field on their profile if it's applicable based on the group access level and allow the second user group to see the contents of that field on profile view but not on their own profile.

It's more an

Exclude this field from own profile - yes
show this field on others profiles - yes
edit this field on own profile - no

So I'm not sure the default view is sufficient. in that if this is viewed on others profiles then it'll also show on their own profile to.

Is their a step by step of how one might configure this specifically?

cheers for all your help so far.

S'ok I figgered it out.

cheers for putting me on track.
