Hi there,

I thought this would be an easy task, but it's turning out to be much harder than I thought! 

I'm using Joomla 3.1.5, and Seblod 3.1.5. I've set up User Registration (without bridge) with some extra fields, and it's all working great. I used the default Joomla User menu link to "edit profile". Also works - amazing. 

The problem is that I need to hide (or disable) a couple of fields when the user is editing, rather than making a new account. For example, I don't want them to be able to change their Display Name.

I tried creating an extra form field (form_layout), and filling the live value with the URL parameter layout= . (URL is: dubai.directrouter.com/~nviwphuv/index.php?option=com_cck&view=form&layout=edit&type=user&id=70&Itemid=167 , on the field I selected Live Value -> URL -> Variable, then configured type=string and variable=layout).  I thought then I could make the other fields display conditional on the content of that field.

However, on the front end, the form_layout field doesn't get the value "Edit" from the url, it's blank. And on the back end, the field live value configuration is blank, even though I saved it.

Maybe there's a better way to accomplish this? All I really want to do is hide some fields in user profile "edit" view!

Thank very much!
