I can't belive that the DNN 4.3.3 should be a final release. Here my bugl-/missing features list:

1.) When I add a custom profile property this new item cannot be translated from within the portal. The only way to do it is by editing the profile.ascx.resx or profile.ascx.de-DE.resx for my german version.  This is a absolute
show stopper because I do want to give portal admins an account at the server console so they can use a texteditor.

2.) In my installation the visibility flags (host, members, all) have a strange behavior. If I change one ore more of them the new settings will not be saved. What function do they have ?  I turned them off because I do not want to confuse my customers. ( rofile.ascx (~\admin\Users) line 26: showVisibility="<%# IsUser %>" /> replaced with showVisibility="false")

3.)  When I delete a property it is working. But if I delete timezone or language it is not possible anymore that a user can save his own profile ( a null reference exception is displayed instead after clicking the sve button). An admin can save a profile from another user.

4.) When timezone is deleted several modules like Scott McCulloch's PrivateMeassaging doesn't work. It seems
to me that a fallback to the portal settings is missing in the UserProfile class when values are not set. 

5.) The visibility flag for a profile property has absolutely no effect. The new value will be saved in the table ProfilePropertyDefinition but nothing happens. If visibility for firstname ist set to false for example it still will be displayed. I tried it with a custom property. Same effect.

So for me this version is still a beta version. I hope that bugfixes will be available soon.

Greetings from Germany

J.,

ad 1) Admins should be able to alter resx files by using the language editor from admin menu. this will affect their portal only (though I have not tested this yet).

ad 2) I have to admit, that I have not yet tested this function much. It's intention is to allow the users to define their privacy for their own. They can decide, whether data entered is available to site admins only, all registered users or even unregistered visitors as well.

ad 3/4) timezone and language shall not be deleted (this should be prevented by the system, please log this into the public issue tracker at support.dotnetnuke.com

ad 5) I apologize fot not havingtested this yet.

Besides there are issues with listing all members in DNN 3.3.3/4.3.3 and deleting users (4.3.3 only), that force an admin to switch current language to en-US, in order to work properly.

When there is a way that the language editor can add items which are not already there then it will working.
Can I add a new language depended name value pair to an existing resx file with the GUI ?

Which function or module uses the privacy settings in DNN 4.3.3 ?

The user list is fixed. Sorry, but I think its not a good practice to define language dependend commands for filtering or what ever. In such cases I prefer the way to design my own commandlanguage and a mapping mechanism for the display.

Is there  way to turn this option to the users off?   This is very confusing for my site users as their profile is never made public even if they asked it to be.   I think it would scare people off who would be thinking their information could be viewed publically somehow, somewhere if they chose it.   There are  many other reasons that this option is not appropriate for my site.  So without boring you with all the reasons why, I just need to know the how -  How do I turn that feature off?

I too would like to know how to turn of the profile options (visibility, public etc.) as it is confusing for general site users just wanting to update their profile and I would'nt want them to change these settings anyway. Is there a way?

Thanks

Mark
