Hiding member profile to guests.

[lsti]

By hiding i meant, guests should not be able to click on the profile hyperlink of members.

Try creating a plugin using hook member_start and this code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 0)
{
   print_no_permission();
}

Thank you. I have to replace 0 with my guest user group id right?

Still it is not working. I can click on the members links.

--------------- Added [DATE]1327585079[/DATE] at [TIME]1327585079[/TIME] ---------------

I even replaced userid with my guest user group id, still not working.

Thanks.

The userid is 0 if the user is not logged in. You could also check for the groupid but it should give the same result.

It works for me, so maybe I don't understand what you want. If you want the link to be inactive, then edit the postbit or postbit_legacy template and put

<vb:if condition="$show[member]"> ...</vb:if>

around the link. (The reason I chose the other method is that, while taking out the link will stop them from clicking on it, it won't keep guests from going directly to the profile url).

I want the link to be inactive. I am already using the condition method.But still people can click on others profile, while they search or during the showthread or forum display.

So, i am looking to disable it globally. So when they click on a user name, they are not taken to the members profile.

I am on vb 4.1.10

Thanks for your time.

Did you get the plugin to work then? If it didn't do anything for you, there must be something wrong somewhere.

I don't know of any way to disable all links without finding them all and editing the templates.

This in the bold makes it ambiguous to me - are you saying you do not want logged in members able to check profiles either? Or just the unregistered/not logged in class?

You're checking this while logged out, right?

Only the admins have the ability to click on some one else profile. Yes, i checked this while logged in as well as logged out.

Actually, it just occurred to me that you don't need a plugin. I think there's a usergroup setting for 'can view member info' that you can set for the unregistered user group in the usergroup manager.
