[SOLVED] CB Conditional - how to get the viewing user Id?

I want to hide a field for the viewing user by using the cb conditional plugin.

So I use the 'Field conditioning self' and select the username field (If) to be 'Not Equal To' (Is) and the variable [user_id] (To).

But is won't work that way. I replaced the value in the 'To' field with the real username and that workef fine. So I guess I using the wrong variable name.

Any clue?

Sorry, I don't understand your condition. You're checking that the username is not equal to the users user id? Please clarify what you're trying to condition against.

It's probably my english

I have this field called PM (it's the private message field). It is part of the User profile tab. You can click on it to send a private message to another user.

The thing is that this PM field also is visible when you look at your own user profile. When you click it a warning message shows up that you can't send private messages to yourself.

For that reason I want to hide it in the user's own profile tab. It has no function there. Of course when you view a profile of another user it must be visible.

I thought that if I make the PM field's visibility conditional that would do the trick. So I want to set he condition to the PM field like this. If it is my own profile tab I'm viewing hide the PM field, if it is the profile tab of another user I'm viewing make it visible.

The below condition on your PM field should do the trick. Note there's a menu item on the top menu for users to send a PM so the field isn't necessary and can be moved to a tab in a not shown on profile position if you like.

Display: Field conditional self
Field: Custom > Value
Value: [user_id]
Translate Value: No
Operator: Equal To
Value: [cb:userdata field="user_id" user="#me" /]
Translate Value: No
Mode: Hide
Registration: No
Profile Edit: No
Profile View: Yes
Userlists Search: No
Userlists View: Yes

You're the Best!!!

Thanx
