Hide Member Directory Links
Hey all,

I don't want to show the member directory links anywhere. I think I pretty much got most of them taken out, but the one on the send private message page. How do I remove that?

Also, is there a way to disable private messenging? I cannot find the option to do so anywhere.

Thanks,

Hi,

You could try a grep to find the file in question;

cd /path/to/template/folder
grep -r '?do=member_list' .

(or whatever the do=... part looks like).

This should at least show you the template, so you can make the changes :)

Cheers

Yes you can do this.

Go to your Gossamer Forum admin:
1. Setup > Actions
2. Select user_list (Viewing Member Directory) from Edit action drop down
3. Then edit action options you want
You can hide the action from shown on "Who's Online", and also set minimum user permissions for this action to minimum user status of an Administrator only Wink if you want to use this at any case or simple disable that action.

Hope this helps Tongue

Cheers,
Boris

Thanks all. I'm trying that grep. Used the following command in the templates directory:

grep -r '?do=user_list'

Does it take a while? The curser in my SecureCRT is just blinking for a while now. Looks like it may have timed out, I don't even have the # prompt.

Thanks Eupos. I was wondering what the actions did :)

As you can see, I just got the forum up and running so I'm learning it. But I'm looking for the option to disable private messenging completely or to get rid of this view member directory link on the send private message page. It looks like that action just keeps it hidden when someone is viewing the whos online page. Unless I'm misunderstanding it.


Thanks again!

Did you follow directions?

Actions are the do functions, so if you disable some action this prevents anyone from from run the function.

As for remove link to user list you must edit include_message_common_write.html and include_message_html_common_write.html templates.

Cheers,
Boris
