Profilebook show username instead name

hello

I would like use Profilebook for write review and it seem is possible to use the plugin for that. The only downside is I would like show username (or only firstname) of reviewer instead to his full name and this option is not available in Tab settings. I suppose something can be made by hacking the plugin. Could you please tell me how to do ?

Other point:

When user click on Sign Profile Book link, I would like display some text (basic rules about what is allowed to write) right after the link. I suppose is possible to add a custom CBTxt code inside cb.profilebook.php and then add desired text inside cbteam.language.php file. However I don't see which CBTxt code I must use and especially where to place it for get displayed at the right place.

any clue ?

thank

You would need to globally change how names are output within CB > Configuration > General. "Name Format" determines the formatname field display that's used throughout CB.

You'd need to modify the plugin to add your code. Review the getDisplayTab function for the various tabs output. Alternative is to add a description to the tab as CB ProfileBook outputs the description to profile view.

Ok in fact I modified the language string related to "Comment" and is fine like that.

Another point:

This plugin seem a bit buggy. For example I noticed when somebody published an entry and I want manage my profilebook, all action links available (such Delete, Un-Publish, Give Feedback) are visible with field and submit button EVEN if I have not clicked on Give Feedback link. So I tested on Joomlapolis and here is required to click on this link for reveal field and submit button. Furthermore if I click on Un-publish link nothing happen (on Joomlapolis) when at my side is required to un-tick the checkbox manually. Notification sent do not support html. Poster cannot delete his own entry but can make modification. Finally is a bit annoying to must reveal links action by moving the mouse. It would be better to clearly and always show action link...

I suppose you will update and enhance this plugin one day...but right now is a bit limit to use in good conditions.

That should be fine too.

It'll be rewritten as separate plugins after CB 2.0. The blogs tab is replaced by CB Blogs. Wall tab will be replaced by CB Activity when it has its posting features. The guestbook tab will be replaced by CB Reviews to have official profile review features.

You will release a new plugin ? Great news :woohoo: I hope it will be possible to import existent entry of CB Profilbook..

Yes, I've roughly 10+ new projects planner sometime after CB 2.0 goes stable. This of course is after existing incubator projects have new major releases for CB 2.0 compatibility and improvements.

I hope it will be possible to import existent entry of CB Profilbook..

Probably won't. Best suggestion I'll have for this is running a database query to easily move the data over.
