is there one for this? I'm having issues with this plugin. IK don't think I installed it right.



This is all I could find, and it's not helping much, thanks.



Allow Public View plugin basically takes over the Community Builder functionality that controls whether non-registered (public) users are allowed to view profiles. Instead, users are able to decide whether or not they wish to allow public access.

Important Note Admin must create a CB field (eg, cb_allowpublicview) which can be either a radio button or a single select with 2 values. The name of this field can be set to anything, as the plugin's configuration allows the admin to set the field name. The admin can then place this singular field in any CB tab he wishes, eg. Profile Info. The values are basically Yes or No, but depending on your language, you can set it to any value you wish (eg Ja and Nien in German), as the plugin's backend configuration allows you to configure the values to the one you have used. More details below.

Features
Allow Public View plugin has a quite a few configurations. First, lets take a look at the screenshot of the plugin's admin backend:

CB Field Name is the name of the CB field (radio button or single select menu) you have created to allow your users to choose if they wish to allow public access.

Field value for "Yes" and "No" contains the values of cb_allowpublicview as mentioned above. The default value is Yes and No, but if you use any other values, you will have to change it here.

Default Public Access allows you to set whether public should be able to access profiles by default (ie, before the user manually sets it when updating his profile).

Notification Text Displayed is the text displayed to non-registered users when they attempt to view a profile that is blocked from public view. The method by which the notification is displayed is controlled by Notify Type.

Notify Type is the way the plugin handles blocked views from unregistered-users. There are 3 ways:
Redirect to Registration: The user will be redirected to the CB registration page with the Notification Text Displayed at the top.
Javascript Popup Alert (1): The user will receive a javascript popup alert with the Notification Text Displayed on it. After the user clicks "Ok", he will be redirected to the page he tried to access the profile from.
Javascript Popup Alert (2): Similar to the first popup type, but redirect to the CB registration page instead.

Have you created a CB field cb_allowpublicview?

[dwells]

yes

[p9939068]

Is it a single select dropdown list with Yes and No as values?

[dwells]

I've tried single and multiple dropdown and radio button, with yes and no values

[p9939068]

No you shouldn't try multiple dropdown. So what's the problem?

[dwells]

It doesn't do anything, nothing is different. It has no effect, I just have a dropdown box in the updat your profile section. I must have a setting or something off, or I missed something. Thanks for your help
