Confirm profile creation #6

This all works for me. I'm still confused as to how this is going to integrate with other plugins or what will motivate public/guest users to fill out this if it's not created at the time they register their new account. But, that might be me. |
@sheilabrennan that is grey. Much of the motivation, I think, will come from how individual sites put it together and advertise it. I think it'll be good to see how it is used, and figure what should be built in from that. On one hand, it makes sense to put it more in front of users. On the other, I hate to interrupt people with stuff that might not be relevant to them. |
When you create or edit the profile type, admins set up those options. |
But shouldn't I as a super user have access to edit that profile? |
The idea of public/private profiles types was to address the concern that some gathered data should only be available to researchers on the admin side, and some other data could be public. Simplest way at that was a bright line on the profile type making clear whether it was publicly or privately available. So when you see the message that the profile type is private, that's saying that all the data in that profile type is set up to only be accessible on admin side. The decision about what questions and answers are publicly visible is one to make across the board for a site, regardless of role. Adding a layer of deciding what roles can override a private profile type seems like a lot more complication that's better passed to the admins choosing what questions and answers could be publicly visible, and letting users decide from there. For public profile types, individuals can choose to make their own profiles private, superceding the more general profile type setting. |

With both your super and non-super users, create your profile(s) by going to the same User Profiles tab and clicking edit next to the profile type(s). Check that required fields are actually required, and that HTML input works.
Also check that private profile types don't give an option to make a profile public.
With your super user, check that you can follow the links to profiles in the users browse page.
On the public side, check that the links from items to profiles get to the profile page. Check how the profile pages look in all the themes you have installed.
