Clicks Install

Worked Great. Thanks!

Installed it perfectly. At the moment I have very few members on my forum so I'll knoww soon enough if something's missing but I doubt it. Thanks for this!

*clicks install*

On top of the memberslist, you can still see the contact info in posts done by a user.

[peterska2]

Yes, there are some known places where the info is still visible in this version.

I rewrote it and fixed all these bugs in the 3.6 version.

Has anyone had any luck with this on 3.54? I've tried this a few times and it's not working for me at all. I haven't tried the default listed method, but I would only need this if I could use it for two usergroups (guests and one registered group.)

Thanks in advance.

[peterska2]

where are you putting it and what exactly is the code you are using?

[Strike3ForumsMH]

I am using the hidecontactinfo352 instructions and instead of using:
<if condition="$show[member]">

I've used:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!='5,6,7,9,10,11'">

I wasn't for sure on that last part, but I entered in the usergroups that I want to have the ability to view contact info. And I used that in place of the showmember code for both instances of it. And I have the phrases added.

I am sure I goofed on that somewhere as it's not hard for me to do from time to time. Any help you can give when you give the time will be ery much appreciated Kerry-Anne. If you need some other info that I failed to provide, let me know.

Thanks again.

I understand that peterska2 might be busy (given all the support they give), so anyone else who has done what I am attempting to do (but did it successfully) could lend a hand, it would be appreciated. I am sure it's some goofy error on my part.

If not, no worries.

[peterska2]

try

<if condition="is_member_of($usergroup, 5,6,7,9,10,11)">

instead.

[Strike3ForumsMH]

No error messages this time like with what I did, but the contact info still shows up. Perhaps it's coming into conflict with another code I have. I will try it again when I upgrade to 3.6 in the future (without the various codes and such added back in yet), as I can't see anything wrong with what you provided to assist me. Thanks for all your help.
