Force "non-administrators to hide their online presence" upon registration ?

[Direct-Compute]

Hi! 

Is it possible to force "non-administrators to hide their online presence" upon registration? so by default choice ....

Not by default, but with a small code hack, yes
Sources/Subs-Members.php, find

Code Select Expand

'openid_uri' => (!empty($regOptions['openid']) ? $regOptions['openid'] : ''),
Add after

Code Select Expand

'show_online' => 0,

That's an interesting request, is there a reason you want to only show admins as online?

Hi, I want to "unactive this feature" for using my forum as an Technical Support reserved for my clients only
(i sales computers and i want purpose online personnalised assistance) and not using SMF as an community forum

I want using "paid subscription" for "personnalised support only".

then do the code hack that margaett posted...   and set the permissions so that only the groups you want have the option to change it.

Also you can set permissions for being able to view who is online as well, if you need to look into that.
