makeProfilePublic( )


Joins the currently logged-in member to the site community and sets their profile to public.

The makeProfilePublic() function returns a Promise that resolves to a member object when the member's profile privacy is updated.

When a member's profile is public, they have access to the site's Members Area features — such as chat, forum, and followers — and their profile is visible to other members and site visitors.

Notes:

  • The member data in the resolved promise will only include custom fields from your site's contacts if they are added to your site Members in your site's dashboard.
  • The APIs in CurrentMember are only partially functional when previewing your site. View a published version of your site to see their complete functionality.
