YES THAT IS CORRECT!
Thank You.
Feel free to either delete these or what ever you like.

You only had to ask nicely. Let's keep things together and not fragment the discussion, shall we?

I can probably answer the question, without delving into the specifics of Community Builder, as far as Kunena is concerned. When we start talking about Community Builder we're narrowing the focus. Give us a chance to find the answer for you and reply with the information.

Hi Cordel,
I have a custom solution for this issue in:
...home.../components/com_kunena/template/default(or yours)/view/profile.vertical.php
simply use if ( $this->my->id ) statement: Good luck

Thank you and I understand the concept as I manage many forums and moderate 32 my self.
I'm sure you get plenty users that don't get the subject right or even care to try so I get that. Hence why I reworded the issue to point out what I hoped to be obvious enough.

So in short, I'm looking for an appropriate function within Kunena to validate whether or not the person is registered and logged in. For this portion of code in administrator/components/com_kunena/libraries/user.php and a native function to either Joomla framework, or Kunena ( maybe I should have phrased it this way ).


We have over 300 sites that I contract to that use Kunena and I'm getting more and more questions to this particular issue. If it were just showing Month and Day they probably would overlook it but it shows the year and I am getting growing concerns of ID Theft Yet they like to use it.

Thank you

I'm looking at the question

In Kunena, when a user fills out his birthdate, it shows on the summary profile next to, or on top of his post depending on your configuration. I need this to not show for guest users.

In this case it makes no sense to modify the file ../administrator/components/com_kunena/libraries/user.php but, rather, you should modify the files that display these details. This would be ../components/com_kunena/template/view/profile.horizontal.php and ../components/com_kunena/template/view/profile.vertical.php. That gives you a place to start looking.

You need to add a test to line that reads

Thanks Migus that helps.

But I really need this to be in the backend, otherwise I'd have to many themes to modify which is why I'm looking at administrator/components/com_kunena/libraries/user.php as it would carry through all themes.
Allot of these folks downed themes and modified them so would be allot of work.... though maybe I can get payed good
