Hi Joe,

I am building an Intranet and need to show a user's supervisor in their profile. The supervisors all belong to a single role named Managers. I created an ISettingControl which looks up the members of the Managers role and adds them to a drop down list for selection. The supervisors' UserID is stored when the profile is saved.

Users should not be able to change their Supervisor so I set the "editableByUser" option to false in the profile config. This resulted in the UserID for the selected supervisor showing up on the UserProfile.aspx page. To get around this, I modified the ISettingControl to disable the dropdown if the logged-in user is not a member of the Administrators or Role Admins role. This results in the drop down being displayed in a disabled state. All of this is working great.

The problem now is that the UserID for the selected Supervisor is being displayed on the ProfileView page. I realize that the ISettingControl is probably not being called for the ProfileView page (nor the UserProfile when the profile definition has editableByUser="false" set). So, how do I go about displaying the Supervisor's name and not their UserID on the ProfileView page?

Thanks,
Joe D.

fyi, I implemented a solution for this recently (this change is included in version 2.4.0.0) so that profileView page will load the same ISettingControl but will check if it implements IReadOnlySettingControl and if it does then it will load add the control to the page and call SetReadOnlyValue so that you can render differently for read only within the same control.

So your .ascx.cs you would just put a comma and add IReadOnlySettingControl and implement the SetReadOnlyValue method defined in the interface.

Not sure why it took so long to get to this, should have done it sooner.

Best,

Joe
