Hi,
we have a closed community forum (invite only). On sign up we ask users to provide position, organisation and country as well as interests (tags). How can we get those fields to be visible next to the usernames when users click on “users”? we want them to see who is on the platform, where they work and who is online at the time. We are not interested in seeing how many likes they got or time spent on the platform. Can this be adjusted?
(I am a new user so please explain this to me like I am complete idiot.)
Thanks!
Custom user fields can be displayed on the user card and the user’s summary page. To display a custom field on the user card, select the ‘Show on user card?’ checkbox when you create or edit a field. To display a custom field on the user’s summary page, select the ‘Show on public profile?’ checkbox when you create or edit a field.
To display these fields on the users page, for example https://meta.discourse.org/u would require a fairly advanced customization. The fields that are displayed on the users page cannot be adjusted through site settings. If the users page is not useful for your site, you can hide it by deselecting the enable user directory Site Setting.
Thanks very much Simon.
Quick question: where are those settings? (under what heading?)

Hi Valerie
If you go to your Admin dashboard, click on Customize and then User Fields and you will find the list

Simon, ¿puedes decirme qué debo hacer para realizar esta personalización de la página de usuarios? Quiero mostrar un campo de usuario en esta página de usuarios.
Por lo general, si digo que algo requiere personalización avanzada, lo que quiero decir es que no sé cómo hacerlo. La mejor estrategia para averiguar cómo agregar campos de usuario personalizados al directorio de usuarios es buscar un plugin o componente de tema existente que agregue campos al directorio y luego examinar cómo se ha logrado. Sin embargo, no conozco ningún ejemplo de código para este tipo de personalización.
