Hide Fields/Rows on "admin member edit interface."

[scott]

I would like to hide or remove fields on the “edit member” section.

There are fields such as “Gender”, “Street”, “City”, “Zip” etc that are unnecessary on this page.

It looks like it’s controlled by this file:
/views/admin member edit interface.php

I don’t want to edit the plugin files in case they are updated in the future. I have tried copying this file to my own theme but it doesn’t work that way.

Any ideas?

Thanks

To change the fields used by the registration and edit profile forms, without directly editing the file; you need the Form Builder Addon:

Thanks for your reply.

I have bought the form builder addon but that doesnt give the option to remove rows/fields that are already present (by default) in the admin -> edit-profile screen.

Rows such as “gender” are not in my signup form or profile form but still appear in the edit-profile panel.

I’ve sent a query to the developer, asking if the Admin panel should have access to Form Builder profiles, instead of the default profile form.

The admin side shows all the normal fields plus all the form builder custom fields that you have configured.

@Scott — Because the unused fields are only shown on the Admin side; it really has no user impact.

Hi,

Thanks for your replies.

There are multiple admins on my site and so different people have access to the “edit profile” screen in the backend. With this in mind I have been asked to make the “edit profile” experience as simple as possible – therefore removing unnecessary fields.

If this is being kept as part of the plugin is it at all possible that you could add classes to the <tr> so at least they can be commented out by class name rather than having to edit one of the plugin’s core files?

Thanks

Scott

Your request will be forwarded to the developer.

[admin]

I have added the CSS class names to the rows. It will go out with the next release of the plugin.

Would anyone mind sharing more information about how you go about doing this? I to have the same issue and want to hide a number of the unnecessary fields like gender. thanks in advance!
