Solved Members who 'hide'?

Post by Testicles_the_Greek May 18th 2012, 6:39 pm

Is there a way to stop members being 'hidden' on the forum?

I have one or two that oddly log in hiding but never post? Evil or Very Mad

What do you mean?
You mean bots?

If you mean members:
Why should a member post? If you for example blocked a specific forum and they want to see it they could just make an account to see that forum.

Hi,

yes, indeed it is - however it's only possible via PunBB & PHPBB2.
You can do both disable it altogether through templates
or, un-hide users via their profile preferences in the admin panel, for all versions.

To disable via templates, for you PunBB:

Admin panel >> Display > Templates/Profile > Profile_Add_Body
In the search box, put in: Newsletter HIT SEARCH do not use Enter!!!!!!!!
You should now scroll down only 4 lines, and see this:

Code:
dt><label>{L_HIDE_USER} :</label></dt>
            <dd><label><input type="radio" name="hideonline" value="1" {HIDE_USER_YES} /><span class="cont">{L_YES}</span></label>
               <label><input type="radio" name="hideonline" value="0" {HIDE_USER_NO} /><span class="cont">{L_NO}</span></label>
            </dd>
         </dl>

Highlight, and remove it and Hit save, then hit publish Add
Viola, no-one else can go hidden, and now un-hide the current user via the above method.

Wish this could be done on all forums or be removed by HTML & JAVASCRIPT i really don't see why we have the hide button as the online icon shows in your profiles still

Ape, it only appears in the profile if your friends with one another.
Hence when for example, Leeloo is online, you and I can see her, but new members don't.

Greek, your welcome Very Happy
Might make a tut for this Razz

It could be possible to be made moderator & admin only, I don't see why the currently supplied code in the templates wouldn't cover it, atleast for PunBB (Offhand, I'm certain) but for BB2, I'm fairly certain that it's not realistically possible.
I won't say for a fact, until I've started making the tutorial tomorrow.
