Swap field descriptions 'user registration' (frontend) and 'user mana…

…gement' (backend)

All field descriptions for optional fields in 'user registration' are "If required, please fill this field." This has no meaning to a regular user.
In addition to that this description exists only once for all fileds. (not usable)
On the other hand there is a single description for each optional user field in 'user management' which is unnecessary for admins or publishers.
So my solution was to change line 259 in profile.php
from: if ($app->isClient('site')...
to: if (!$app->isClient('site')...
This solved the problem (at least in my case).

[SharkyKZ]

With this change, the description from plugin configuration is shown. E.g. Choose an option for the field Address 1. This is not correct, IMO, as it refers to the required/optional/disabled options from plugin config.

@SharkyKZ is correct

[ghost]

So what would you suggest ? (Or do you doubt the problem ?)

[ghost]

Things get mor funny !
I just made some screenshots after selecting English as default language.
Forget about the backend - Frontend is more impotant.
Screenshots 1 (line 259 in profile.php CHANGED)
(In this case I can change these descriptions by language override)

Screenshots 2 (line 259 in profile.php UNCHANGED)
(In this case I can't change these descriptions by language override)

I hope you now can see what I mean !?

[brianteeman]

As explained by @SharkyKZ it refers to the required/optional/disabled options from plugin config.

[ghost]

Sorry, but what does that mean to me ?
Do I get my problem solved or not ?
What else can I do to have a different description field popup for each field (as in my screenshots 1)?

[brianteeman]

It means your proposed solution is not correct.

Personally I would not use that plugin. You can achieve what you want with custom fields.

If I got it right, you say I should not use Joomla - because it's the original Joomla plugin what we are talking about here !

You can achieve what you want with custom fields

Do you mean I should replace the original Joomla 'Users -> Manage -> Users:Edit -> User Profile' fields by 'Users -> Manage -> Users:Fields' ?

[brianteeman]

If the plugin does not suit your needs then yes I would create the fields using Users -> Manage -> Users:Fields'
