How to hide contact from guests and newly registered?

Post by 2600 »

I thought I changed the correct permission in groups to never, but that didn't do it.

It was "Can view profiles, memberlist and online list."

The "contact us" has been created to provide everybody - including non registered users - with a simple method to contact the board adminstration.

If you want to enable the "contact us" only for registered users, don't use it. :mrgreen:
Do it the classic way: Post the contact informations in a separate forum where only those registered users have access - maybe just with the information "Send a PM to 'Admin'"

on my test board, if you have that permission set to no for guests then guests can not see that contact bubble at all.
If you have it set to never for newly registered members, they can not see it at all either.

not sure why it is not working that way on your board.

You can use this extension - viewtopic.php?f=536&t=2338681#p14220861 - to create template switches for Guests and NRU and then use the switch to turn off the contact display in viewtopic_body.html.

I have no idea how to use this man. How do I use it. It's installed, I see no options and I don't see a viewtopic_body.html in the FTP where this extension lives. I assume I add that somewhere? What would be the code for this? I also don't know the group IDs for NRU and guests.

I'm code stupid.

The extension allows you to use template switches to display or not display certain items in the templates of the styles. Like this:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_GROUP_5 --> This is only visible for members of the group with id 5 <!-- ENDIF -->
So you would use this in the viewtopic_body.html template file of your style, like this:

FIND:

Code: Select all

 <dd class="profile-contact">
            <strong>{L_CONTACT}{L_COLON}</strong>
            <div class="dropdown-container dropdown-left">
               <a href="#" class="dropdown-trigger"><span class="imageset icon_contact" title="{postrow.CONTACT_USER}">{postrow.CONTACT_USER}</span></a>
               <div class="dropdown hidden">
                  <div class="pointer"><div class="pointer-inner"></div></div>
                  <div class="dropdown-contents contact-icons">
                     <!-- BEGIN contact -->
                        {% set REMAINDER = postrow.contact.S_ROW_COUNT % 4 %}
                        <!-- DEFINE $S_LAST_CELL = ((REMAINDER eq 3) or (postrow.contact.S_LAST_ROW and postrow.contact.S_NUM_ROWS < 4)) -->
                        <!-- IF REMAINDER eq 0 -->
                           <div>
                        <!-- ENDIF -->
BEFORE, ADD:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF not S_GROUP_N or IF not S_GROUP_X--> (where N and/or X is the group_id of the group you want to hide it from)
AFTER, ADD:

Code: Select all

<!-- ENDIF -->
I haven't tested this, so the exact location of the opening and closing switches may need to be played with.

To find a group ID, ACP, Manage groups, Pre-defined groups, hover the cursor over the "Settings" for the group and look in the browser status bar. The last part there will be "g=N", where N is the group_id for that group.

Well, this is not really an extension support request; it is a template editing request. The extension only creates the switch to put in the template,

Where have you put it and what happens when it doesn't work? Are you purging the cache after edits?

and, this is not necessary since you can just use permissions to do this.

like I said above, the default guest setting does not allow them to see that little contact bubble and if you set the NRU group to never for that permission they can not see it either.

I placed it right above <dd class="profile-contact"> and other places above that. I do clear the cache and what happens is that when I click a post I get a blank white page.

It just isn't working with the permissions set to never. I checked the permission masks and everything is never as well. I don't get it. Could an EXT interfere?

Just to clarify. It's the "Can view profiles, memberlist and online list" in the NRU and Guest groups.

So I must not be doing something right. I just installed a new board version 3.1.10 into Xampp on my computer and set the permission for guest and I can still see that bubble for contact. See image. I even changed everything for Guests to Never. No dice.

There are no switches within for permissions. It will display as long as the user isn't a bot as defined in the database.
