Masquerade by FriendsOfFlarum, the user profile builder

majbador

Hi everyone! Does masquerade have issues with other extensions apart from the Terms? My setting is this:

View masquerade profile - admin only
Have masquerade profile - members
Edit the profile of other users - admin only

When I test this as a member, I can't do the following:

Edit my profile.
Enter the forums.
Log out of my account.

These issues get resolved when I changed my setting to allow members to view the masquerade profile of other users. The problem is that this setting goes against the data privacy guidelines of my organization. I'd like to set the admin as the only people who could view the profiles of all users. Would appreciate some help on how to fix this.

majbador I have not used the extension in a while, but I don't think it's designed for private profiles. So the "view" permission might need to be equal or broader than the "have" permission.

I implemented private profile fields in my paid Formulaire extension and I remember at that time this feature was exclusive to my extension. I don't think Masquerade received any significant update since.

majbador

clarkwinkelmann I see. It would be a nice update to enable users to set who can view their profiles and/or allow settings wherein all user profiles are set to private and can only be viewed by admins and the user who owns the profile. This will help out a lot in addressing security issues of users when it comes to their personal information. I hope that an update will be done to include this feature because this is a really awesome extension. The developments that were done so far are great. Thank you very much for your contributions on improving masquerade!

By the way, I've checked out Formulaire and it looks great. I'll probably use it in the future when the website will start discussions which will require members to provide more complex information. Congratulations!

SrJulius8 as discussed previously in clarkwinkelmann I don't think it's possible in the current version of the extension.

The access level for editing own fields has to be the same as read access. If the fields can only be edited by moderators, you might be able to raise the permission so nobody but moderators see the page, including the users themselves if they aren't moderators.

I find it a pity that the complete information is displayed in the FoF user overview. That makes things a bit confusing. It would be nicer if the information could only be seen in the profile itself.

does not work for me.. i get a blank page..

clarkwinkelmann

Fait on which page? Flarum homepage or different page?

Any error in the browser javascript console?

clarkwinkelmann i get a runtime error in the console

I'm trying to make a required birthday field but haven't found a stable option except for another birthday extension which will do for now.

clarkwinkelmann

Fait can you share the exact error message? There could be a conflict between different extensions.

FriendsOfFlarum Hello. I want to hide a member like site.com/u/username redirecting to 404 and not seen in search. Any way? This would be important to maintain privacy

SrJulius8

clarkwinkelmann Anyway, this would be important to have... because in the profile we can create the Fof Masquerade, there some information such as location, name would be exposed and this is not so cool off the forum

clarkwinkelmann

SrJulius8 the current version of Masquerade was designed for public profiles.

Unless someone sponsors the changes there is currently no plan to add new features or access permissions to this extension.

It's been a while since I had a look at the source code but I believe there are some historic design choices that prevent making profiles private as simple as changing the policy. It would require changes to how a user can load and edit their own values which might be multiple hours of work.

A small question:

The “mandatory “ is not actually mandatory for me. Though it redirects users to fill out when they login but they still can post or view other pages without writing down anything. IT’s the logic of it?

clarkwinkelmann

Teddan that's correct, "force profile completion" setting isn't actually binding, it just causes a redirect to the profile page every single time the user visits the forum.

This is very old code at this point and I'm not sure why it was done like this originally. It could be re-worked to be like in the Terms extension where you can't interact with the forum until you fill in the fields. The risk of doing it like that is you could end up in a deadlock if 2 different extensions do it and don't properly account for it...

Teddan

clarkwinkelmann i see……just a little perplexed in this case. 🤣

Hey ,there is an error when I was trying to create a new mandatory section (with other mandatory sections exist already). Then there is a blank page of my profile page in my admin account, but this error seems not happen to normal users.
Here is the error in the console:

Different users having filled the same information on their profile are showing the masquerade fields in a different order when mousing over their avatar to show their profile card. Is this expected or a bug? Can this be standardized?

I am getting the same behavior before and after going from php 7.4 to php 8.1
