Hi,

I am trying to disable certain parts of user's Control Panel , namely
the Edit Profile,
edit email and password,
and edit profile picture.

I was unable to find a way or hook to disable those specific parts except through hacking the code. So I reverted to - to the very least - take out the links in the user CP.

By looking at USERCP_SHELL I was able to find the links. but I found that many of them were surrounded by strange <if condition="$show[......]"> tags. Which I can understand they act as switches. but where do I set those switches?

and , exactly, what effect do those switches have on the overall user CP functionality? e.g. by setting the correct switch for editpassword to false, will it also block any attempt from users to access the editpassword functionality should they manually construct the ....profile.php?do=editpassword link in their address bar? (from a quick check of the code, it seems the answer is no).

At the present moment, I could only remove those links and conditions , but of course it's a very crude way of operating. can anyone give me some link regadring these functionalities? I was unable to find anything by searching in the forums and documentation.

thank you!!
