Ashton Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Is it possible to hide a roster on the frontend? I know you can hide it from certain groups, however, if you do that then when you discharge someone you cannot select the discharged combat unit as it does not display. I'm trying to save personnel files on discharge but without the discharged soldier showing up on the front end personnel files. Is this possible?

Administrators Jon Erickson Posted June 22, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 22, 2019 Rosters inherit the IPB Permission system so you should just be able to hide the roster from all groups.

Administrators Jon Erickson Posted June 22, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 22, 2019 Yes, that would make sense. We'll have to add a "hidden" field to the roster that strictly relates to frontend view ability regardless of permissions.

Ashton Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 That would be a good feature to add, would come in handy for a few units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jon Erickson Posted June 22, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 22, 2019 At this time, you can just hide the roster for all groups that don't need to add users to it - it will be essentially "hidden" except for the groups that mange that roster.

Administrators Jon Erickson Posted July 7, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 7, 2019 @Ashton, looking back on this, just disabling the Roster will remove it from the frontend but keep it active on the backend. This should be all you need. Quote Owner Deschutes Design Group LLC email | jon@deschutesdesigngroup.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashton Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 I didnt think of doing that. So I've created a discharged combat unit and then created a hidden discharged roster and linked them together, shows on the backend but not on the front end which is what I want. This should allow us to keep peoples records even after discharge. However, if I remember rightly in the old days of PERSCOM 1 when you discharged somebody it kept all their records etc under their user ID in the db but just removed them from the roster and personnel files, and then when you reinstated them it relinked all their old records etc. Would this be something that could be made possible again? Or a more feature based discharge system added instead of the above workaround? Hope you had a good 4th July as well dude! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jon Erickson Posted July 7, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 7, 2019 PERSCOM already does that - but you must keep the personnel file. Records are linked to the personnel file id. As long as you keep the personnel file, you can relink any member with an existing personnel file and everything will be as it was left off.
