Hello there,

We are using a remote authentication module that populates some User Profile fields with data in Drupal. I would like to be able to see and search these fields but because our users cannot touch the contents they are set to "hidden" under the Profile module.

What I am seeing is that my fields are showing on the Advanced User form (good) but there is not content in any of them even though they are populated automatically. Further, my searches on field contents come up empty.

Q. Does Advanced User have the appropriate permissions to overcome the "hidden" setting under /user/profile/edit? Do I need to do something special to expose the fields? This may also be a customization problem so this may not affect everyone.

Best,

I suggest you have a look at the 3.x series.

I forget what the code does for the "hidden" mode of the profile field. If you're administrator it shouldn't matter if it is hidden or not so I'm guessing it doesn't do anything that special.

This turned out to be a programming exception related to the storage of the profile fields - not an issue for this module - closing.
