[Plugin: Cimy User Extra Fields] Question: Default values for fields if user doesn't have permi

Hey, no the field wasn’t visible to this admin user, but they got the error message that it can’t be empty.

Using Justin Tadlock’s Members plugin, I’ve created some “custom admin” roles for the club members that are on the club committee – for example, some of them can update members profiles (eg. to say they paid their membership for this year). And for these roles, I’ve given some of them the ‘view_cimy_extra_fields’ capability (and by the way, because it is a custom role, the role has a level of 0 (given WordPress doesn’t seem to user Levels any more)). So this custom role shouldn’t be able to see or edit this field, but obviously they then shouldn’t get an error saying that the field can’t be blank given they can’t see it.

HTH

Indeed was a bug there since ages, strange nobody noticed before.
Can you download again and test with the above settings that triggered it please?

EDIT:
Indeed I introduced with my latest patch, wasn’t there before ??

Hey dude, sorry for the delay responding.

Ok, I’ve just done some fairly thorough testing.

– reproduced the bug on the older dev version of the plugin
– upgrade to the new plugin
– verified the problem went away

Then I tested:

– creating a user
-updating a user
-updating another user
-updating my own profile

for each of the following user types:

– a full Admin
– a ‘custom’ Admin with ‘view_cimy_user_field’
– a normal user with no admin related permissions (although obviously I couldn’t test updating other users since this user didn’t have access)

and all tests passed.

So looks good thanks very much Cimmmo!

Cheers
Matt

Cool, thanks.
