Hide User Display Names from Guests

[ctec67]

$txt['hideusernames'] = 'User name for Guests to see
e.g. Hidden'; $txt['hideusernames'] = 'User name for Guests to see
e.g. Hidden';

Back to 3 lines. Sure hope I don't have to re-install everything.

Can you attach ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php without the -utf8 extension please?

[ctec67]

Sure & thank you!

[Matthew K.]

Here you go. Enjoy

[ctec67]

Yes! That did the trick.

So many, many thanks!

Do you think it would be possible to make it hide names from selected groups and show user title instead?

Got a problem with this mod.

The preg_replace for quotes is acting weird.

I get the hidden name displayed, followed by the profile name.

Example:
http://www.toyotaclubtr.com/index.php?topic=48027.0

I have tried to change the "$3" to "$4" here:

Code Select Expand

// Quotes, oh my, leave the link just remove the name ....
$reg_ex = '~(<a(?:\s+|\s[^>]*\s)href=[""\']' . preg_quote($scripturl, '~') . '\?topic=(?:[^"]+)?"[^>]*>' . $txt['quote_from'] . ':)(.*?)(' . $txt['on'] . '.*?[^<]+[.]*</a>)~';
$buffer = preg_replace($reg_ex,"$1 " . $modSettings['hideusernames'] . " $3",$buffer);

but that breaks it. Why is it not replacing, but adding?


edit:

Ah ok, nvm. I have parantheses at the end of all user names and apparently this reg-ex doesnt match them. Being a noob on regex, I had to look online and adding

Code Select Expand

(\\(.*\\)) after the

Code Select Expand

(.*?) and then going for "$4" did the trick

lol, heres me again with what actually was wrong

Because I'm using Turkish language files, $txt['on'] is actually empty.

So,

This mod wasn't sectioning the quote tag properly.

What I wrote above worked, because all my members names are in the format "Name Surname (registration number)"

However, there were quote tags from way back, when member names didn't include the numbers and the parentheses.

So now what I did is to change the "$txt['on']" match to look for a space followed by a dash, as it seems to be in all my quote tags just before the date.

I changed

Code Select Expand

(' . $txt['on'] . '.*?[^<]+[.]*</a>)to

Code Select Expand

(\s\-.*?[^<]+[.]*</a>)

Now I'm tackling the "last edited" line...

edit:
in Display.template.php

change the line to look like this:

Code Select Expand

if ($settings['show_modify'] && !empty($message['modified']['name']) && !$context['user']['is_guest'])...and no more last editors for guests!
