when i visit a other users profile the block shows always only my profile complete percentage
i think it would be better that the block always shows the percentage of the current visited user and the "fill out ...." text should be hidden then

I want to run this request through the community a little bit more heavily to find the best solution to this approach. Lets discuss a couple of things real quick before we start talking about this feature.

1. PCP's Original Concept:
The Profile Complete Percent module was originally designed to encourage users to finish filling out all of their profile data. However, it was not originally designed to provide visibility into other member profiles and "their" level of completeness.

2. Adding this new concept:
What does it mean to add in this feature? It means a couple of things and these are the items that I want to discuss with the community to get a general feedback of how "you" (community) want this to function.

  1. Profile Complete Percent uses a block to display the current percentage data for the currently logged in user. This means that the block (by default) will show up on every page all over the site, unless specifically changed by the administrator (maybe they only want this block to appear on profile edit pages for example).
  2. There are two approaches to providing the new functionality that you have discussed. One is to create a new block specifically designed to only display on user/[uid] pages and displays the users info. It is then up to the administrator to control the block visibility of the other PCP block not to display on these pages so that there is no conflict. The second approach would be to allow the user to opt-in to this functionality from the admin settings, in which case PCP would use the 1 block it comes with, but it would look for user/[uid] to see if needed to display a different set of results.

Based on how all of you use the PCP module, what do you want? How would you expect this to work from a UI standpoint? I will handle the code, but I want it to function smoothly and I want it to make sense. I also believe in control and I don't want to provide any functionality that can be changed by the end user if they don't like it.

So lets keep this thread Active and lets all post to it until we come up with an agreed version of this functionality. I'll then confirm it and add it to the D6 3.0 release and D7 2.0 release (when that comes out).

I think this could be also integrated into the module author pane
So the info to each user how much percent of its profiles is completely

I think it would be workable if you just hide the block on the path user/*.
This will hide your block on user pages.

If you really need this, you are free to come up with a patch so I can implement it.
