investigating Profile forms - preview of the public view

In principle, profile forms can be displayed in public, but Admin (and profile owners) must take various steps to make this happen.

When designing forms, and filling them out, it would be useful to be able to see a preview (with a single click) of how each form will look in public view -- if the intention is to make all profiles in a quota public, or if a user wants to make an individual profile visible to others.

There is no steps that need to be taken. You raised this point in your ticket to us as well, and it is not an issue. The default for Jamroom profiles is globally visible. Unless you have explicitly changed the default profile privacy, then all profiles are public.


This is something you would need to do custom for your site - Jamroom does not know "how" you want your profiles displayed, nor does it know WHAT fields you want displayed on your profile, so there's no way for it to generate a preview.

Then only way this COULD work is if Jamroom forced all profiles to look the same and use the exact same templates, which would destroy the site owner's ability to fully customize the profile to suit their needs.
