How do i force hiding email addy ?

[vagrant]

Before i update d the forum from smf1 i used to be able to force the hiding of email address's with a small change to the code.

I have found the section of code i need to modify but can not work out what i need to change .... can someone point me in the right direction please.

Code Select Expand

'hide_email' => array(
            'type' => 'check',
            'value' => empty($cur_profile['hide_email']) ? true : false,
            'label' => $txt['allow_user_email'],
            'permission' => 'profile_identity',
            'input_validate' => create_function('&$value', '
                $value = $value == 0 ? 1 : 0;


thanks.

SMF 2 has this option as a default setting

Admin area > Security and Moderation > Allow viewable email addresses.

Thanks for that 

Does that stop the "Allow users to email you?" from showing as an option in the profiles as well?.

vagrant

[vagrant]

think i got my head around it now.

If i change

Code Select Expand

'permission' => 'profile_identity',

to

Code Select Expand

'permission' => 'admin_forum',

Would that stop users been able to change the  Allow users to email you? setting ?

edit post.

Yes i tried it after setting up another test forum and yes it does work 
I can garb a few hours sleep now  [/hr]

I spoke too soon.

Although that stops email contact from previous members i am unable to find an option to make it the default for new members *sigh*

Help please. I need my forums to be very anon due to their content, so they need to be restricted to posting and PM's.

Whats the issue here?
The setting posted by H would apply that setting as default for both newly registered and existing members.
Which specific version of SMF are you running?

We can't help you if you don't explain what you need...

sorry for the delay, have been in hospital

Profile-Modify.php  i made the change to

'hide_email' => array(
            'type' => 'check',
            'value' => empty($cur_profile['hide_email']) ? true : false,
            'label' => $txt['allow_user_email'],
            'permission' => 'profile_identity',
            'input_validate' => create_function('&$value', '
                $value = $value == 0 ? 1 : 0;

and replaced the line permission to 'permission' => 'admin_forum',

that stopped them been able to set it to show even if they wanted it to.

I have since found that by editing the database  "members" i could set the default
hide_email to 1   (was 0)

Then in the registration forum i just removed the option all together.

Now there is no way for members to have their email details showing even if the wanted to.... which is what i was trying to do, and no way to contact them using the email contact form, meaning they must use the PM system or post in the forums, i hope.

so unless i spot an error in what i have done this is now solved.
