Contact Name Link
October 07, 2009, 11:12:57 am
I have been tinkering with exposing profile attributes in a j! deployment. I understand how to limit a user's ability to execute additional searches by setting a profile field's visibility to "Public Pages."

However, the default profile view (/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/profile/view&reset=1&cid=#) displays the "Name" at the top of the contact record as a hyperlink to the contact view (/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/contact/view&action=view&reset=1&cid=#). You can see this in the attached screen shot.

My question is - since this element is not part of the field list with customizable visibility via the Administration of Profile, how do I prevent this value from displaying as a hyperlink?

That link should only show for folks who have permission to view that contact in contact/view (so shouldn't be showing up for front-end profile view in Joomla). If it is, that's a bug - so please file and issue with steps (I did a quick test and the link was NOT present).

If you still want to remove it, you'll need to create a custom copy of that template: CRM/Profile/Page/View.tpl

Yes, any registered J! user sees the hyperlink as portrayed in the screen shot. Two follow-ups, if I might:

1) I don't see an issue/bug forum here and in the Issue Tracker (jira) I did not see a way to submit an entry - where should I document this behavior?

2) For the hacking of the template, I don't see where the core CivicCRM files are in this J! 1.5/CiviCRM 3.0 installation. You refer to CRM/Profile/Page/View.tpl and I'm not seeing this structure anywhere in J! web root, components/com_civicrm, or tmp or anywhere else. Could you nudge me into the right direction to the core files???

I'm a 2 week veteran of Civicrm and I appreciate the guidance. Thank you!

First you need to create an account in jira and then submit an issue.
