Hi,

I am using Mahara as a Social Networking tool on people.bhavsarsamaj.com and finding a way for customizing profile fields like removing "Student ID" as its irrelevant in my application.

Please let me know how can i rename or remove it

Bye

Regards

Hi,

We may add an admin option for this at some point, but there isn't one yet. 

You can easily hide the studentid field from the edit profile page if you are willing to edit the code; just remove 'studentid' from the list that appears around line 148 of the file htdocs/artefact/internal/index.php. I don't think it will appear anywhere else on the site if no one edits it.

Removed studentid from the file you mentioned...

However I can still find it at the General Tab of Profile Edit

Aha, yes you're right, it looks like the general tab shows all the fields that didn't get displayed in any of the other tabs.

To remove studentid altogether, add the line

   unset($items['studentid']);

around line 136, right before

   // build form elements
