Hide "Attachments" from the profile area.

[NekoJonez]

Just like the title says. Is it possible to hide the "attachments" features from the profile area?

I'm using SMF 2.0.4

Why would you want to hide what attachments a user has made from people visiting that user's profile?

[mashby]

Hmm...didn't know attachments were viewed on the user's profile. Aren't they included at the bottom of the post in the topic where they are attached?

[Arantor]

Sure they are. But if you go to Profile > Show Posts, you'll find you can view the posts by that user, the topics by that user and the attachments posted by that user.

Why would you want to hide what attachments a user has made from people visiting that user's profile?

Since I have the attachments disabled. I don't want my users to upload files to my site.

I'm confused.

If they're disabled, there won't be any. So, how will anyone be able to see them?

Am I being dim?

[NekoJonez]

They still show under "Show posts" => "Attachments".

[Arantor]

If you selected 'Disable attachments', that would actually seem to be a bug that it does not disable the menu item. I would agree it should remain if you selected 'disable new attachments' though.

If "attachments" WAS enabled, but they're disabled, now, you'd be be removing the option to view those.

I suspect that removing the thing would only be an edit to a file, though, wouldn't it?

Possibly, removing it from this line in Profile.template.php?

Code Select Expand

', (!isset($context['attachments']) && empty($context['is_topics']) ? $txt['showMessages'] : (!empty($context['is_topics']) ? $txt['showTopics'] : $txt['showAttachments'])), ' - ', $context['member']['name'], '

If "attachments" WAS enabled, but they're disabled, now, you'd be be removing the option to view those.

The attachments option for enabling has three choices, enabled, disabled and disabled for new attachments only - if it's enabled or only disabled for new attachments, you'd still show the attachments area in the profile.

No, that template edit won't do it. You'd have to change this line in Sources/Profile.php:

Code Select Expand

'attach' => array($txt['showAttachments'], array('profile_view_own', 'profile_view_any')),

Off hand I'd suggest:

Code Select Expand

'attach' => array($txt['showAttachments'], array('profile_view_own', 'profile_view_any'), 'enabled' => !empty($modSettings['attachmentEnable'])),

The attachments area in the profile simply shows which files (if any) the user has uploaded. If attachments are disabled, users will not be able to upload files, except for avatars if you have that option enabled (that's separate from attachments).

[Arantor]

Yes... but the option is STILL SHOWN even if attachments are disabled...

[kat]

But, if it WAS enabled, but isn't now?

The only way get rid of it would be to edit that file, no?

[Arantor]

But, if it WAS enabled, but isn't now?

It's enabled by default. But that's why you get three options, rather than just enable/disable it.

I believe that's what he wants.   Remove the 'Attachments' button from the profile--->view posts.

[Arantor]

To which a change that should do it (for *all* cases based on the relevant admin setting) has already been suggested.

[kat]

I meant just for this one, specific need.

[Arantor]

I'd argue it's actually a logic bug in SMF as a whole.

[kat]

I wouldn't argue against. Although, if anyone clicks on it, they're not gonna see anything, unless attachments had been allowed, previously.

Hardly "Mission-critical". Just a bit daft.

[Arantor]

Which is why you pick the 'disable for new attachments' option if you want to stop new attachments and keep access to the old ones... the one that's been there since SMF 1.1 at least...
