CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

On the public website (no user logged in) I had a create profile form with user-defined fields.

All was working fine.

But now only the generic standard fields (name,email,country) are displayed but none of the custom fields I created.  If I log-in on the front-end with an administrator account the custom fields are displayed perfectly OK but they disappear when I log out. The profile and the fields are label as public.

Why is this and why has it suddenly changed - I have performed no upgrade.

Thanks I suspected it was a permission thing.

I looked at the permission configuration pages but could not see anything about anonymous or public s how do I set this anonymous to see all fields.

Although the priority is to get the fields displaying it of course it doesn't answer the question as to why it suddenly changed and why the fields stopped being visible.

Thanks

Hello rjlm,

Have you tried creating an ACL that allows everyone to View This Profile?

Go to Administer-->Users and Permissions-->Permissions. Select Manage ACLs, and Add ACL. Description= Profile Permission, Role= everyone, operation=view, Type of Data= A Profile, Profile= select your profile from the dropdown and select save.

Now you can go back to your Joomla ACL and set "Profile  Create, access all custom data set" back to not allowed. The CiviCRM ACL will handle this permission.

you might also check the visibility of your custom fields and make sure they are set to Public.

Doesn't explain why it stopped working, Have you created any new ACLs that might interfere with your permissions?

Cheers,
Jason
