I decided to add a couple of custom profile fields that I'd like to keep hidden from regular members.

When adding a new field in the admin control panel it says:

Quote:

Field hidden on Profile? - Field only viewable by admins and mods

But I've found that it doesn't work as expected. The hidden field still can't be viewed by admins & mods when they click on someones profile.. To view the field you have to click on user options and then login to the control panel, which is more trouble than its worth IMO.

This mini-hack will fix that. It will allow admins, mods and supermods to view the hidden fields IN the profile. The fields will remain hidden for regular users.

Very simple hack (1 file edit).

This would come in handy for admin/mods to add notes to peoples profiles such as who have warned this user before, dates he was banned/unbanned, etc...nice hack!

Great hack thank you.

This works well with staff notes. This is something i have put on my board which allows mods/smods and admins to type notes into a profile field (which has been changed into a text area rather than a short line). The staff notes act as a record of members bad behaviour or when a mod has needed to record something about a member which we dont want the member or other members to see.

Previously, it was kept purely to the control panel but with this hack, it is now available to be seen in the profiles but the staff.

Thank you.

Dude... calm down. No one was giving you any attitude from what I've seen of this thread so far. People just answered your question.

I think this hack is excellent. I'll definitely be putting it on my vB installation.

y/w. glad I could help.

Evil

Thanks again for this wonderful hack, but may I please ask if you can stop moderators being able to read the hidden profiles? Its just the hidden information I have should only be read by the admin of the forum (2 people) and no others as its quite sensitive.

Would really appricate if there is as this is a wonderful time saving hack....at the moment I could do with saving as much time as possible

Thank you

Stuart

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
