Hide Memberlist but show Team and Who's online

[JanPi2020]

I want to hide only the memberlist (the link in the footer to be precise), but I want to show the Team link (and page) and the Who's online list
The permission "Can view profiles, memberlist and online list" would hide too much.
This seemed to be posible in earlier phpBB versions by MODs and such.
Are there any possibilities with version 3.3.x?

My interest is to use only the Team page for member information since I can group users by their groups and also show if someone is in more than one group. I can't pimp the memberlist in any way, can I ?
BTW, my forum is very small, round about 30 people and it's closed to guests.

Thanks for helping and ideas!

OPEN

navbar_footer.html

FIND AND DELETE (~line 42)

Code: Select all

			<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_MEMBERLIST -->
				<li class="rightside" data-last-responsive="true">
					<a href="{U_MEMBERLIST}" title="{L_MEMBERLIST_EXPLAIN}" role="menuitem">
						<i class="icon fa-group fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i><span>{L_MEMBERLIST}</span>
					</a>
				</li>
			<!-- ENDIF -->

SAVE > UPLOAD > PURGE CACHE

Remember to back up FIRST

Thanks, that works perfectly!

Do I have to repeat that whenever an update of phpBB or the style I'm using comes along?

[HiFiKabin]

Yes, if either of that file is changed in a new version, then you must repeat the edits.

Even simpler just change this line in includes/functions.php

'S_DISPLAY_MEMBERLIST' => (isset($auth)) ? $auth->acl_get('u_viewprofile') : 0,

To this

'S_DISPLAY_MEMBERLIST' => false,

though people will still be able to get to the memberlist and view it simply by typing in the browser bar http://myforum.com/memberlist.php

Is it ok that I rename memberlist.php file to something else, so that only me/admin can see by typing ?
Or is it connected to few other files ?

Changing the name of the file called, does not change the code calling that file. In short: result = file not found

Other solution, open memberlist.php file and find:

Code: Select all

// Check our mode...
if (!in_array($mode, array('', 'group', 'viewprofile', 'email', 'contact', 'contactadmin', 'searchuser', 'team', 'livesearch')))
{
	trigger_error('NO_MODE');
}

add after:

Code: Select all

if (in_array($mode, array('','group')))
{
	if ($user->data['group_id'] != 5)
	{
		trigger_error('NO_VIEW_USERS');
	}
}

Save and purge the cache.

For any user who is not an administrator, they will receive an error message when trying to view the full list of members or group memberships.

So it is connected to other files somehow.

Cool, its working.Thank you.

memberlist.php is a default file in phpBB referenced by other files so you'll get a

file not found

in various places.

The code doesn't work if added following,

Code: Select all

 /memberlist.php?mode=searchuser

[exemplary1]

Ok, did changes according to this, and its working.
viewtopic.php?p=8603275#p8603275

[exemplary1]

Cannot hide from this :

Code: Select all

 /memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2

any idea ?

[exemplary1]

Have added following in memberlist.php and it works.
Line number around 500

Code: Select all

	case 'viewprofile':
		// Display a profile
		if ($user_id == 2)
		{
			trigger_error('NO_USER');
		}

Is it ok to add like this ? Can an expert comment on this please.

Finally, at a given moment, users of a forum who do not have access to the list of members will not spend hours with our friend Google to get around the problem.
Because with your prohibition methods each user ID is listed in the code to prohibit access to the profile, imagine if this manipulation had to be done on this forum?
