Okay, so I decided to take the leap and setup some custom Member Profile Templates. I copied themes/profile_themes/default into a new directory and I’m able to select the theme in the Membership Preferences. I’ve been reviewing the templates and find a number of these:

{include:head_extra}
{include:stylesheet}

That seems to be pretty straight forward but I can’t find where these includes are defined. Where is “head_extra” for example? It’s not another file in the profile theme directory. Can anybody point me to where these includes are and how to edit them?

Thanks,
Bob.

Hey

{include:head_extra}
is the page_header or sub_header file in the profile theme

{include:stylesheet}
is the stylesheet.html file in the profile theme

Hello R.K.Foster,

Thank you for posting your question.

Spikechu is right on the money. Those are just includes and can be found within the themes folder.

I am sure you have seen this, but just in case, check out this link.

I hope this helps. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Cheers,

Hey

{include:head_extra}
is the page_header or sub_header file in the profile theme

Spikechu, thanks for the help. It actually looks like “page_header” is “page_header.html” and “sub_header” is “page_sub_header.html” in the member profile templates. Still haven’t found “head_extra” yet. In most of the templates head_extra is embedded in the html head section.

Shane, thanks for the link. That is where I started. It’s a little difficult to match up the templates with the web page that shows up on the site but I’m slowly learning my way through it.

One main question I have, is there a way to prevent the display of the Member List? I’d like to put a warning text in the template for people that aren’t members that says “Sorry you can’t look at that”. I tried using:

{if member_group == '1'}
show the member list
{/if}

but that didn’t seem to work.

Thanks,
Bob

Hey,

Your Welcome R.K Foster.

regarding “head_extra” i believe that is what is in the page_sub_header.. i remember removing the {head_extra}and the stuff from page_sub_header was gone.. Shane may have a better answer.. but i just trialed and error-ed that theme to find out what was attached to what.. it is a little confusing at first.

Now regarding the memberlist.
if you go to Member Group “Guests” Settings > Member Account Privileges > Can view public profiles

you can change who can see memberlist and who cannot.

hope that helps.

Thanks, Jon

I’ve been making pretty good progress with this. I have to say that it helps greatly to have the default Member Profile Templates to work with.

Another question I’ve come up with if anyone knows the answer. We’re using a bunch of custom member fields to manage some preferences but I’d rather these didn’t show up on the Member Profile page. You can prevent them from showing on the registration page but it seems there isn’t a way to keep them off of the Member Profile page. Any tips, suggestions, advice, etc…

Thanks.
Bob.

(addendum: I can keep them off of the public member profile but what I want is to not let the member edit them on their own profile page.)

Glad you are starting to get somewhere.. it took me awhile believe me.. i was looking at my computer scratching my head. Once you get the hang of how its laid out, it starts to come together.

There should be a field in the member fields when you create them

Is this field visible in public profiles?

Is field visible in registration page?

Is field visible in the control panel’s administrative registration page?

unless i am messing something, is that what you are looking for?
