Change a permission

[hcfwesker]

I'd like to mimic a permission to another.  One of the custom profile field options for SMF2

AdminCP > Features & Opyions > custome Profile Fields > "Edit Field"

Users/admin permissions:

The 1st option, "Users can see this field, owners can edit it"  I want to copy to another, the 3rd on the list.

I need the 3rd option, "Users cannot see this field, owner and admins can edit it"  to mimic the permissions from the first option. So users can actually see it.

I don't know how to make that change.  No users on the site, including myself as admin, can see these selected custom profile fields anymore.

The options for the "Privacy" setting on a profile field should be:

   
• Users can see this field; owner can edit it
• Users can see this field; only admins can edit it
• Users cannot see this field; only owners and admins can edit it.
• This field is viewable only to admins.

You're missing all the options except option 1, correct?

You also said that no one can see the field - is it set active?

What I want to do, is change the permissions for option #3 so Users CAN see, rather than cannot see.  that will solve my dilemna much easier, I think.

Bump, anyone know where to start?

I found this line in  Themes/default/Admin.template.php

Code Select Expand

// Cannot show this on the topic
if (curType == "textarea" || privStatus >= 2)

I changed the 2 to a 3, and that got the box to stop auto unchecking the "Show on Posts" box when selecting option #3.  But they still won't display in posts.  There's another code coming from another file.  Someone has to know
