The discussion revolves around a plugin created by JSey to hide parts of user profiles from anonymous users. The plugin’s goal is to make user profiles look different when viewed from an anonymous account versus a logged-in account. JSey released the first version of the plugin and later updated it to version 0.0.2, adding support for user cards.
However, users encountered issues with the plugin. Na2HPO4 reported that the plugin broke the user page on their site, while sam initially moved the plugin to the “broken plugins” category. JSey asked for reproducibility and provided troubleshooting tips.
Rgj pointed out that the plugin overrides the user.hbs template with an outdated version, which might not be ideal. jomaxro agreed with this concern and suggested waiting for JSey to update the plugin before making further decisions.
I have just released the very first version of a plugin that tries to accomplish what users from my community want: make the user profiles look like this:
Note that currently, user cards are not yet altered (which is clearly missing because otherwise, this plugin is a bit pointless. I will add this ASAP). I am also looking for a better approach for the user.hbs copy I have to maintain within that plugin - any pointers are welcome. I found @neil’s remark here, but the link for the example is broken.
Anybody has a repro here? @sam? I have this on the latest beta working just fine - you have to disable the setting “hide user profiles from public” provided by discourse, however… But this will not create a loading loop?
