I've used Jomsocial plugin in my site.
And I found that there are only 2 options which are Real Name and Username for displaying on front page.
I am wondering how can I customize it so that I can make it display in another format.
For example, I want it display
user's first name + City
Or user's first name + last name's first letter(Tom G/Tom.G)
or may be I can show a custom field like "display name" that I've asked user to fill on registration form.
Thanks!

In the Ribbon Workbench, how can I hide the "Closed as Won" button on the Opportunity form based on a text field (accountnumber) in the Account entity?
Issue description
How can I hide the "Closed as Won" button on the Opportunity form based on a text field (accountnumber) in the Account entity? Each Opportunity can have one associated Account. If the accountnumber field is blank, I want the button to be hidden. I'm assuming I should use a Value Rule, but I don't know exactly how to do this for related entities.
If this is not possible to do, what would be the best workaround?
I also have a 2nd related issue. I want to be able to hide the "Collaborate" button that is used for Teams integration, but can't seem to do that in the ribbon workbench either.
You have many solutions... just two of them:
Write a custom javascript that retrieves the value of the related account using web api (here some examples: https://butenko.pro/2018/11/13/showing-ribbon-button-based-on-the-result-of-async-operation/)
Add a text calculated field on the opportunity pointing to the accountnumber of the related account (the syntax for the calculated field is "[lookup name of the account].accountnumber". Then you can use a ValueRule on the new field
Can anyone, please, help me with Libreoffice Base form creation?
I have the following tables:
And I'm trying to add a form to enter new RESOURCES record with the following fields: [RESOURCE_NAME], [CURRENCY_NAME] and [AMOUNT]. But after 10+ tries I have not succeeded. I have tried adding it via wizard, selecting RESOURCES as main form and CURRENCIES as subform and vice versa. I have tried VIEWS and forms based on them. These tries only gave to me or no possibility to enter new record, either creation of the new CURRENCY.
I don't need to create new currency via this form, I only want to enter new Resource (only enter once, not to modify, not to delete). Since I don't want to remember all the ID's I want to select currency name via DropDown list.
Can anyone provide instructions about how to do it, please?
Thanks.
You do not need a subform for this - just create your form document with RESOURCES as the main form (only form).
You will need a listbox to enter the currency item. A listbox has two fields, a display field and a field that is saved in the table. You will set it up to display CURRENCY_NAME and store CURRENCY_ID.
When you create a listbox, the wizard that pops up may get you what you want. If the wizard falls short:
Make sure the form document is open in design mode: on the "Form Controls" toolbar, the leftmost/topmost icon of a pencil with a triangle should be depressed. If this icon is grayed out, close your document, right-click on its name and choose "Edit".
Right-click on the listbox and choose "Control"; this will open the properties window
On the tab "Data" change the "Type of list contents" to "Sql"
In the field "List content" enter SELECT "CURRENCY_NAME", "CURRENCY_ID" FROM "CURRENCIES" ORDER BY "CURRENCY_NAME"
The Bound Field should default to 1. If it isn't 1, change it to 1.
Close the properties window and save your form. It should work as you want now.
If you want a listbox inside a tablegrid: after you create the table, with the form in edit mode, right-click on the column name you want to change and choose "Replace with" and then "listbox".
Edited to include comment by OP about bound field needing to be 1
In Salesforce there is a way to programmably filter reports by adding parameters to the report url. pc#, pn# and pv# allow filters to be modified or even created out of nothing. It is also possible to use the bool_filter parameter to change how the filters are combined (AND/OR). With a Visualforce page and some Apex button code it's possible to create user friendly setup screens for very complex report filtering.
However to be really user friendly the report title (the label above the report) should change to reflect what is in the report. For example if a report shows all earnings from a specific account (by adding a blank account equals filter and then specifying an account id in the url) you would want someone looking at a print out of that report to know which account it is talking about. Depending on the layout the user will see the filters listed, but an automatically generated account id doesn't tell them much.
Can the label above the report be dynamically overidden (or added to in some fashion) with some text that better explains what the report is about?
I'm using Joomla to develop a user profile management component with AJAX.
The goal is to allow the user to edit his own user information. There is a lot of information so instead of having one massive form, I decided to make "subforms" or sections. And for the whole thing to be user-friendly I want to send the forms and refresh the user information with AJAX.
Here's an example :
There are two sections, "Basic user info" which displays the first name, the last name and the age of the person and "Extended user info" which displays the occupation, the company and the skills of the person. Each section has an "edit" link (or button) which turns the content into a form (AJAX) allowing the user to modify the presented information. You can only edit one section's information at a time. When the user has finished modifying the data, he sends the form with a "send" link (or button) and the section gets back to simply displaying the information of the section (with the updates that were just made).
So I need to know what is the most efficient way to develop such a component. I thought of two approaches :
1) In the "tmpl" directory of the main component view we the following files :
default_basic.php (displays the basic user information),
default_basic_edit.php (displays the form which allows the user to edit the basic information)
default_extended.php (displays the extended user information),
default_extended_edit.php (displays the form which allows the user to edit the extended info)
default.php (loads each of the display subtemplates with calls to JView::loadTemplate($subtemplate))
When the user clicks on an edit link, an AJAX call is made to the following URI index.php?option=com_userinfo&view=userinfo&subview=basic_edit&format=ajax, which causes the view class to call $this->loadTemplate('basic_edit') after assigning the user information to it.
If the user clicks cancel the same process is used to load the 'basic' template again. And if the user modifies the information and clicks the send link, the form is sent and then the 'basic' template is loaded too.
2) There is only a "default.php" file in the "tmpl" directory which holds the edit version and the display version of each section. But all the edit versions are hidden at first. And when the user clicks on the edit link the display version of the section becomes hidden and the edit version is displayed (using display:none and display:block). Then, if the user clicks the cancel button we do the opposite. And if the user clicks the send button we send an AJAX request to update the data in the database and return the updated user info which will be loaded into the display version of the section. And we finally replace the edit version of the section with its display version.
I know there's a lot of text but in the end it goes down to choosing between refreshing full HTML blocks with AJAX, or just sending the updated info and modifying the content of hidden blocks and then make them appear. So what do you think is the most logical approach, knowing that we are in a Joomla 1.5 environment ? How would you procede ? (maybe there are other ways to create such a component ?)
(I tried both ways and I couldn't entirely make it work so I decided to ask to see if it is a matter of conception...)
Thank you for taking the time to read all the text.
My answer is: why even refresh parts when it can be done without it?
For example when we are talking about basic form elements like text fields and check/radio buttons I would prefer the following: on a successful save/send simply display a nice message like "Profile saved" for some seconds and the user is sure that the changes are save and sound.
In case I msissed somthing let me know.
I have tried both solutions and #2 is the only one that worked for me.
for example, we have a web form to let the user enter personal info such as address and phone number, then the user need to enter the spouse and dependents information. I usually use a gridview for this, but some users complain it is difficult to use. so what is the most user-friendly or conventional way to handle it?
thanks.
I usually use AJAX to do this. Usually a Button and/or programming triggered by an event to add form items.
For example:
Username:
Password:
(+) PHONE
.. then every time you add "+ PHONE" I would add a new set of text boxes for more phone numbers.
One option might be to have a more user-friendly form where the user fills in information for a single individual, and then an "add" button that takes the contents of the form and inserts it into the gridview where it can be reviewed while simultaneously clearing the rest of the form to allow another individual's info to be added.
