Hi,

Thanks for your answer but that doesn't seem to work.

I have an access field i try to modify

elgg_view_field([
    '#type' => 'access',
    '#label' => elgg_echo('access'),
    'name' => 'access_id',
    'value' => $vars['access_id'],
]);

I have created a hook, but $params["entity_type"] and $params["entity_subtype"] are always NULL, so i can not check if it is the right entity i want to modify authorisations to.

 elgg_register_plugin_hook_handler('access:collections:write', 'user', 'myhook');

function myhook($hook, $type, $return_value, $params)
{
var_dump($params);
 return $return_value;
}

I've tried to change the input manually with the code bellow but the public autorisation is still in the list with the message "Missing access level name" (when i create a new entity)

$visibility_options = get_write_access_array();
  unset($visibility_options[ACCESS_PUBLIC]);

        echo elgg_view_field([
            '#type' => 'access',
            '#label' => elgg_echo('access'),
            'name' => 'access_id',
            'value' => $vars['access_id'],
            'options_values' => $visibility_options,
        ]);

Do you have an idea ?

if you don't provide the input/access with entity_subtype and/or entity_type the hook will not magically get that information.

Look at https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/blob/master/views/default/input/access.php

Ok, thanks !

You are reinventing the wheel, there are already several plugins that allow you to create entity covers: https://github.com/hypejunction/hypeicons

But to answer your question, you can't display a cover image using elgg_view_entity_icon().

echo elgg_view('output/img', [
   'src' => $entity->getIconURL('large', 'cover_image'),
]);

Thanks, that works perfectly !

do you know if  there is a specific hook to unregister default fields ?

Should work with the same plugin hook:

function my_custom_profile_fields_handler($hook, $type, $return_value, $params) {

    // Following array contains the profile fields that should NOT(!!) be used
    // As example all default fields listed here - remove the WANTED fields from the array
    $profile_defaults_to_remove = array (
        'description' => 'longtext',
        'briefdescription' => 'text',
        'location' => 'location',
        'interests' => 'tags',
        'skills' => 'tags',
        'contactemail' => 'email',
        'phone' => 'text',
        'mobile' => 'text',
        'website' => 'url',
        'twitter' => 'text',
    );

    // Array of profile fields to be used
    $my_profile_fields = array();
    // First remove the unwanted fields
    foreach($return_value as $name => $type) {
        if (!array_key_exists($name, $profile_defaults_to_remove)) {
            $my_profile_fields[$name] = $type;
        }
    }

    // Now add custom fields
    // Types of fields: 'text', 'longtext', 'tags', 'url', 'email', 'location', 'date'
    // Add to language file(s) strings for the field label(s) like 'profile:my_first_custom_profile_field' => "Label for my first custom field",

    $my_profile_fields['my_first_custom_profile_field'] = 'text';
    $my_profile_fields['my_second_custom_profile_field'] = 'longtext';

    return $my_profile_fields;
}

Thanks !
