    Customizing Membership level display on Memeber personal profile [4746]

    We have observed that the member directory as a matter of default shows the membership level information in the member directory details.  I'm really interested in having that field not displayed.  

    We feel that other members have no right nor any reason to see what membership level another member is set to.  To us, this is very private information that should only be shared between the member and the member organization.  

    I don't see a way to turn off the display of this field. I hope a lot of people add onto this message saying they also want the ability added to either show it or not.  We don't feel that anyone should know what another person is paying or what level another person is signed up for.

    Another related topic is the ability to limit which fields can be queried from.  The advanced search drop down list includes every field (even fields set to no access for anyone).  It would be nice to preset the drop down list of query options on the member directory so we can limit what we want people to query from.  I know we can create a default search "template", but someone can just click add criteria and then get the full list even with this.  It would be nice to have more control here.

    Can this be fixed to not display the membership level information on the member directory queries and displays?

    Re: Member Directory - Membership level display

    I can see a reason to display member level - especially when there are different benefits at different levels and people have to know if someone is eligible for a beneift or not . . .

    However, I can also see places where you don't want to use it - especially if you are using member levels both for "members" and for "sponsors".

    I can also see where you would want to shut it off for public display vs members only display.

    So I agree, it should be able to be customized like the other fields.

    Moved this to roadmap, this makes total sense.

    Has this issue been addressed yet? Seems that you should be able to turn this setting off, just like the other profile fields.

    Has not been addressed yet, though I do expect this to be dealt with in the next couple of releases.

    I absolutely agree with the original poster in regards to having the option of not showing Member Level info in the Membership Details section of the Directory.

    I also fully agree that showing the membership level to others than admin must be optional!

    It would be great if that could be solved soon as part of dealing with member's privacy.

    The visibility of the membership level can now be customized like any other field on the member profile: You can set it to be visible to either Anyone, just Members, or  set it to No Access. As well, your members can control the visibility of the fields on their own profiles.

    This thread will be archived. If you have any other suggestions, please do not hesitate to add them to the Wishlist forum.
