[com_fields] Automatic Display in User Context doesn´t apply in this context

[coolcat-creations]

Maybe i´m missing something but there is no after Display, before Display and After Title in User?
Can this field be removed in User-Context?

Also if i set this option to no, the field is still displayed.

Difficult to solve.

Idea from a nondev :) can the showon parameter help?

[laoneo]

Not really, we need to do some kind of callback to the extension if it supports the automatic display events. Another thing the extension dev needs to take care of when she wants to integrate com_fields into their extension.

Same problem also for Contact Field.
For me we need at least write in the tooltip that it is only for article and not for Users and Contact.

[mbabker]

The tooltip shouldn't say that. To "really" fix this the field would have to be aware of the supported plugin events for a context. It is not restricted/available to articles only, it just so happens of the core components only articles supports all of the listed contexts.

[AlexRed]

Fantastic, can your fix hide the "Automatic Display" parameter only in user and contact field ?

[mbabker]

It's basically what @laoneo last comment says. When generating that field, it would have to be smart enough to call into the "owning" extension for a context to figure out what events it displays and build the list that way versus the current hardcoded list that exists now. So programmatically once the callback thing is sorted out it's an easy fix, problem is getting to that point isn't easy.

And in this mode I hope we can set different default "permission" for a context.
Allowed "Edit Custom Field Value" for User and Contact Mail fields :)

[laoneo]

You can change the install script, that com_contact will have different default permissions. That's doable.

[AlexRed]

Please @laoneo help me to change the install script, that com_contact will have Allowed "Edit Custom Field Value" default "permission" and help me to set the contact field for "Mail" by default. If we fix it for me we can keep contact custom field in Joomla 3.7.0.
But for me we need to hide in Joomla 3.7.0 the users custom field (like for the new router problems), the bugs 15194 and 13601 make it unusable. And restore it in Joomla 3.7.1 if we fix it.
