User offline status when set to not display online status

I have built a custom online user panel using REST v2 and one of my testers found that their avatar is showing up in the list when they have gone to their settings and set it so they are shown as off...

Thanks for the tip VarunGrazitti but using rest affects my component for regular users and they see 'widget cannot be displayed' for them except for their own avatar. I am all for keeping things as secure as possible but I need the component to work for everyone. Any ideas why that would happen?

jaread83 - I looked into this and following is the issue.

 

When you are making call as rest in logged out state, there are few nodes missing in registration_data

 

"registration_data":{  
               "type":"registration_data",
               "registration_time":"2014-09-18T13:48:50.554-07:00"
            }

For a logged in user, the API returns all the nodes as:

 

 "registration_data":{  
               "type":"registration_data",
               "registration_time":"2014-09-18T13:48:50.554-07:00",
               "status":"fully-registered",
               "registration_access_level":"all",
               "confirm_email_status":true
            }

and you are using registration_data.status in your code which is not available when the user is logged out, hence the error:

 

<#if user.online_status = 'online' & user.registration_data.status = 'fully-registered'>

 

You could modify the code using if user is logged in or not. You should also use attempt recover blocks.

 

I hope this helps.
