Hide User Contact Info From Guests

What it does: Hides the user contact info part of the profile from guests.

Difficulty: Easy
Templates to Edit: 1 MEMBERINFO (4 edits to same template)
Phrases to add: 2
Profile Fields to add: 1 (for userselectable version only)

How to install: Download the attached text file and follow the instructions.

What does it look like?: See attached screenshots. One is for a guest and the other for a member.

I want to see a live demo: Go to www.peterska2.co.uk and take a look at the profiles there. It's running 3.5.x but it works exactly the same.

There are two text files attached.

• always_hide_from_guests.txt is a fixed thing were it hides it and that is the end of the story.
• userselectable_hide_from_guests.txt gives an option in the userCP to show or hide contact info from guests.

If you use this please remember to click the install button. It's the only way I know if you like what I do.

[high]If there are any bugs please let me know. I've coded this directly from the style.xml file for 3.0.x without a site running it. I'm confident it will work, but if there are any bugs I'll get them fixed. Thanks.[/high]

Great stuff, excellent. Installed.

I did one thing differently. I want to drive registrations, and since this allows the members to see it, saying it's "private" is not really accurate.

I made my Phrases like this:

Please <a href="http://your-forum.url/forum/register.php">REGISTER</a>  to see this info.

Hi

what about hiding user info from members too and just allow morderator

[peterska2]

I'll need to see about redoing it. Do you need it to be user selectable, or just hidden from everyone except staff?

[almqdad]

Hi

thank you peterska2

just hidden from everyone except staff?

that is what I need

great hack

[peterska2]

ok, I'll get it coded up as soon as I have a free few mins

[almqdad]

Hello

that is very kind of you peterska2

[peterska2]

Ok, sorry for the delay there.

Use the always_hide_from_guests instructions but replace

<if condition="$show[member]">

with

<if condition="$show[modcplink]">

This needs to be done in steps one and three.

Any problems let me know.

I haven't played with the user selectable one yet but the first works fine. I used the register htmlin my phrase too as it seemsmore appropriate.

I have also stripped the messenger contacts from the postbit/postbit_legacy by replacing:

<if condition="$post[icqicon]">$post[icqicon]</if> <if condition="$post[aimicon]">$post[aimicon]</if> <if condition="$post[msnicon]">$post[msnicon]</if> <if condition="$post[yahooicon]">$post[yahooicon]</if></div>

With:

<if condition="$show[member]"><if condition="$post[icqicon]">$post[icqicon]</if> <if condition="$post[aimicon]">$post[aimicon]</if> <if condition="$post[msnicon]">$post[msnicon]</if> <if condition="$post[yahooicon]">$post[yahooicon]</if><else />
&nbsp;<br>
$vbphrase[contact_is_private]
</if></div>

Thanks!
