Invite counter on profile pages is visible to everyone! Is it possible to remove it?

Sounds reasonable. Please give the attached patch a try.

Permissions should be unique. Changed the permission identifier from "view statistics" to "view invite statistics".

how to apply patches = http://drupal.org/patch/apply

I applied the patch. It either hides the info or it doesn't, even from the main admin on the site when you set that access. I think the main admin should always see it. And then maybe another item to include under the access section "view own invite statistics", which of course allows users to view own their own and not others. And then ideally, all of this could also be left optional to the user, as maybe a setting on their user/#/edit page (and the admin could control if that option is open to them or not, either under the settings, or under access permissions). The latter is just a suggestion, but I think the first part really needs to be in there for it to be of any use.

actually, I just noticed that it either hides it or note when I set the access permissions under authenticated user. When I turn off the permission for authenticated users, I can't even see it as the main admin. When I set it under a role that I defined (admin), it doesn't make a difference.

when is the next version for people who cannot patch ?

I am looking for a way to get rid of the 'Invitation counts' on the profile page views completely, is there an easy way to do this??

I thought I would try the above patch out. It does work, but the problem I found is that it doesn't hide the admin's 'Invitation counts' profile view. How to totally remove it, or is there some code I can remove to get rid of the invitation counts for good. Thanks

Sorry for the slow response.

Enhanced the patch with a 'view own invite statistics' permission, as suggested by kbourne, and also fixed the viewing permission.

You could create a new 'admin' role instead of using the superadmin (userid=1) which always has permission to everything.

As a work around you can do what I do which is implement hook_profile_alter and remove the counts

  if (!user_access('administer users')) {
    unset($fields['Invitation counts']);  
  }

I would also like to do this, both removing number of invites from the profile page and from the invite menu "your invitations." (Actually I would like to completely remove the 'your invitations' feature.) Would the hook_profile_alter change this for all users or just the administrator? Also, do I have to add anything else or would I simply add that php snippet to my template.php? Thanks!

if would remove it for everyone but you could wrap it all in something like

if (!user_access('administer users') {
//Remove all the sections you don't want
}

profile_alter is a module hook so I'm not sure you can put it in template.php (not sure what you would name it??) - maybe nameoftheme_profile_alter() works, never tried it.

Thanks for the quick response. I guess I am not exactly sure where to implement the hook_profile_alter then. Thank!

I normally make a module for such code that is custom for my site where I put all my hooks like this.

Good news, I've separated the invite stats functions from the main module and put them into its own module called Invite Statistics. That module also contains above patch that adds two permissions for greater control. I think this approach should satisfy anyone who was annoyed by the current functionality, since you can now fully control whether you want the stats at all.

So, if someone could check out the current DRUPAL-5 branch (or wait a couple of hours until the dev package gets updated) and test the new code/permissions, the next release could be ready shortly.

Hi -

many thanks for your work on this aspect of this very nifty module. I have installed this latest version and it seems to be working great. No issues with it so far.

Cheers,

Tobias

I'm still having this issue. Even with "track invitations" set to only admin level users under Access control I'm still seeing "Invitation counts" in user profiles when unauthenticated and when logged in as a non-admin user. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the invite module and still cannot hide this info. Any help would be appreciated.

First, the separated statistics module is available in CVS or development snapshot only. Second, the permission for the Invite Statistics module is named view (own) invite statistics.
