CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Note that I'm not talking about an non-logged in CMS user here.  I'm talking about a contact who wishes their name to be hidden on all public facing documents.  Similarly our client is looking for the ability to mark single contributions as being anonymous. 

My first thought was to have custom fields for both contacts and contributions to mark them as anon.  I could then tie into hook_civicrm_pre where $op == 'view' to hide the name.  However I don't think this op has yet been implemented anywhere in the codebase. 

Further, this functionality is probably useful to the community at large, so I thought that building this into core may be the way to go. 

It does become tricky about how and where you hide contact details.  I'm not sure that it would be feasible to hide things anywhere within civicrm.  Perhaps only on the drupal side, and contribution and contact exports would need to include the fields.  So then it's basically little more than another field. 

Any thoughts? 

I'm also interested in this feature.

Any overlap/difference with the existing 'Do Not Share' checkbox should also be clearly defined. I expect many would NOT want these to be the same.

Any progress on identifying where in the codebase changes would need to be made?

I am OK with defining 'public facing (listing) pages) as 'profile listings & event participant listings.'

Also, this should optionally be set for all data OR per Location. E.g., maybe I'm OK with my office phone being listed, but not my home phone.

(FYI, My current work around for this is to create a custom field group with 'Public Information' and using ACL to expose only these.)
