[#5335] CB Conditionals Tab issue

Hi,

I work with Joomla 3.4.1, CB 2.0.9 and CB Conditionals 4.0.5. Just deleted CB Privacy without any change of the following behaviour:

I have a tab that I want to control via CB Conditionals - only special users (condition via username) should be able to see this tab.

This condition works (put my username to test), and I do see the two fields belonging to this tab.
BUT - I can't save values to these fields, and I don't see the values I have manually entered via phpmyadmin.

Do I have to put conditions on these fields as well to be able to read / write values ?

Where else could I have done something stupid ?

If I switch off the condition in the tab everything runs smoothly, but of course - for all users...

Thnx,
doromi

What do you mean you're not able to save values? They don't show up in profile edit? You change the value, click update, and the value is same as the old one? What is the exact condition you're using? You maybe better off just using a view access level and assigning a special usergroup to users that's in that view access level then setting the access of your tab to that view access level. This would be significantly easier to maintain than a list of usernames.

Kyle,

thanks for your answer.

Exactly. Even worse - a value entered directly entered in the database doesn't show up either in profile edit.

Not really - these are tabs for single persons one by one, and I really would prefer not to create usergroups for single persons...

Thanks for any good idea,

Doris

Ok, so you can see the inputs and the tab, but the information doesn't save. If that's the case the condition is working fine during jQuery, but it's failing during the post processing. Do you allow the username to be changed? If not then the post value of the username field could be empty so it's conditioning against an empty username. Try using the below condition.

Field: Custom > Value
Value: [username]
Translate Value: No

Hi Kyle,

thanks for your reply.

Actually, no. I can see the tab but the fields are empty although the fields in the database table are filled. (When I switch off the condition they are shown.)

Do you allow the username to be changed?

No, I don't because the username is connected to LDAP data to check for the password.

If not then the post value of the username field could be empty so it's conditioning against an empty username. Try using the below condition.

Thanks for the idea. I tried it - still the same. I see the tab and the (empty) fields. I can enter data but they won't be saved.

It's a pity because in CB 1.9.1 it worked ;(

Any other good idea ?

Kind regards, Doris

Can't believe it - I found it.

You can use the condition for
- Registration
- Profile editing
- Profile showing

Because of the fact that registration is completely switched off on my website (only super users are allowed to enter new users) I had left the condition for "Registration" on "deactivated".
Just to have tried it I switched it to "activated", and - it works...
I see the data already in the field, can change them, save...

But WHY do I have to switch something on that I don't use to get something else running ?

At least now this problem is solved...

Kind regards, Doris
