 Hello, I would like to be able to choose which friends can see certain info on the user profile... for instance, I might want only friends A, B, and C to be able to view my photos or a custom HTML box, but I would want to hide that item from friends D and E. Is that possible? Thanks! |
Hello You may create different Privacy groups in User End -> My Account -> Privacy Settings -> My Privacy Groups block and put your friends A, B, C in Group 1 and D, E in Group 2. Then you may change privacy of different Profile page blocks associating them with newly created Privacy Groups. I think it should work exactly as you need.

It looks like that will work perfectly! Thanks! |
Quick follow-up, somewhat related... My Dolphin site is based around the users' full names rather than their username. In other words, rarely will my users be looking for "user123"... they will be looking for Bob Jones. When I go to add a person to a privacy group, it only allows me to search by username... when I type in a "real name", it finds no results. How can I rectify this? Also, is there a way to more or less disable the username aspect of things entirely? I like having the username for the custom profile URL, but that's the only place I would like the username to be used in. |
are you using my real name patch? Its not a good idea to remove username from dolphin core. It will be okay to just replace it on the display. Leave it in back end so much to do.... |
are you using my real name patch? Its not a good idea to remove username from dolphin core. It will be okay to just replace it on the display. Leave it in back end I just found your thread, but the download link does not work. Can you please re-upload it? I am fine with keeping the username, as long as the search results can be based on the full name instead of the username. Is that possible with any of your patch files? If so, which one(s) would I need to use to change only that functionality? |
I updated that thread. Thanks so much to do.... |
Hello You may create different Privacy groups in User End -> My Account -> Privacy Settings -> My Privacy Groups block and put your friends A, B, C in Group 1 and D, E in Group 2. Then you may change privacy of different Profile page blocks associating them with newly created Privacy Groups. I think it should work exactly as you need. Upon further inspection, I wonder if this will be too complicated for my users. I would like for them to be able to assign their friends to the various default groups, and then choose which one of those groups can view that content/side block.
For instance, "Friends" would be the default privacy setting for all blocks. Then, a person could have a "family" privacy group that would be even more private than the Friends group. A "normal" friend would not be able to view that block, but people who you assign to the "Family" group would be able to. I don't think will have a need for the users to create additional privacy groups beyond that... just having "friends" and the "family" should suffice... is there any way I can make this easier for my users?
So I need: 1. an easy way for users to add friends to a pre-existing group 2. A way to add that group to be available for all users, or to repurpose an existing group (faves?) |
