How to make a new profile block

Hello Little Pockets !

The most proper way to do it - create the new service method where you will specify the rules of the appearance of the fields in this block. The easier variant is to create the new service block via Studio->Developer->Pages->Persons->View Person area with the content:

array (

  'module' => 'bx_persons',

  'method' => 'entity_info',

)

And hide the fewer fields with Javascript / CSS code in another raw block.

Hi all!

So let's review the existing "Info" block has the value of service method as 'entity_info'. It means that BxPersonsModule class has the method serviceEntityInfo which "draws" this block. This method is declared in the parent BxBaseModGeneralModule class and has the following view:

public function serviceEntityInfo ($iContentId = 0, $sDisplay = false)

    {

        return $this->_serviceEntityForm ('viewDataForm', $iContentId, $sDisplay);

    }

The code of method _serviceEntityForm:

protected function _serviceEntityForm ($sFormMethod, $iContentId = 0, $sDisplay = false, $sCheckFunction = false, $bErrorMsg = true)

    {

        $iContentId = $this->_getContent($iContentId, false);

        if($iContentId === false)

            return false;

        bx_import('FormsEntryHelper', $this->_aModule);

        $sClass = $this->_aModule['class_prefix'] . 'FormsEntryHelper';

        $oFormsHelper = new $sClass($this);

        return $oFormsHelper->$sFormMethod((int)$iContentId, $sDisplay, $sCheckFunction, $bErrorMsg);

    }

So it means that it will load the ViewDataForm method of BxPersonsFormsEntryHelper class which has the following code (in the parent class BxBaseModGeneralFormsEntryHelper):

public function viewDataForm ($iContentId, $sDisplay = false)

    {

        $CNF = &$this->_oModule->_oConfig->CNF;

        // get content data and profile info

        list ($oProfile, $aContentInfo) = $this->_getProfileAndContentData($iContentId);

        if (!$aContentInfo)

            return MsgBox(_t('_sys_txt_error_entry_is_not_defined'));

        // check access

        if ($sMsg = $this->_processPermissionsCheckForViewDataForm ($aContentInfo, $oProfile))

            return MsgBox($sMsg);

        // get form

        $oForm = $this->getObjectFormView($sDisplay);

        if (!$oForm)

            return MsgBox(_t('_sys_txt_error_occured'));

        // process metatags

        if (!empty($CNF['OBJECT_METATAGS'])) {

            $oMetatags = BxDolMetatags::getObjectInstance($CNF['OBJECT_METATAGS']);

            if ($oMetatags->keywordsIsEnabled()) {

                $aFields = $oMetatags->metaFields($aContentInfo, $CNF, $CNF['OBJECT_FORM_ENTRY_DISPLAY_VIEW']);

                $oForm->setMetatagsKeywordsData($iContentId, $aFields, $oMetatags);

            }

        }        

        // display profile

        $oForm->initChecker($aContentInfo);

        return $oForm->getCode();

    }

So, in the BxPersonsModule class, you may create a new method like serviceEntityInfoAdv (and call it in the block like 'entity_info_adv') which may combine the code from the given methods. So there you may define the list of necessary fields and remove it from $aContentInfo array.

Well, it is the most proper way especially if you want to add smth more. But you may also to create your own serviceEntityInfo method in the BxPersonsModule class, but in this case, you will lose the automatic upgrade of this module. Then you need to keep your changes manually every time after the force upgrade procedure.

You need to edit the modules\boonex\persons\classes\BxPersonsModule.php file and add after those lines:

    return false;

    }

the following:

public function serviceEntityInfoAdv ($iContentId = 0, $sDisplay = false)

    {

// your own code to draw the special fields in the new info block

    }

And call this method in the service block with the following content:

array (

  'module' => 'bx_persons',

  'method' => 'entity_info_adv',

)

Hello george1 !

You set bx-page-block-104 as CSS class but it is a div ID. So it should be #bx-page-block-104, not .bx-page-block-104

No, fields can't be selected by this way as they don't have IDs. You need to write the Javascript / JQuery code to hide the necessary fragments.
