Disable Privacy Slider And Change Email On Profile

wignu

Hi there, is it possible to disable the privacy slider and completely remove the change email option in a users profile?

wignu

Is anyone able to assis with this?

Franz

It's not possible in core, but it could be relatively easily done with an extension.

Thanks for that Franz, I'd hoped it may have just been a case of commenting out a part of code but all good.

Is there anyone out there wanting to do an extension for this?

Davis

Franz I'm not sure it could easily be done with an extension. Unless there is an easy way to modify the API that I don't know about.

Franz

Davis I was referring to removing it from the view... ?

Davis

Franz users could still change it with the API... So it wouldn't do anything. This goes back to the issue where flarum isn't extendable enough.

wignu I edited your post to distinguish between the quoted question and the answer.

I can understand why an admin might not want to make this choice available to the members of his/her community. The ideal solution would involve adding two things:

An admin preference to set the default value for for the privacy slicer.
A permission setting all the admin to specify who can see/use the privacy slider.

Although I agree with Davis that more extensibility would be better, the above things strike me as something that ought to be in the core. As it is, Flarum forces admins to adopt a specific approach to privacy and community management... something that should be avoided if possible.

Another approach would be to move the whole idea of privacy to an extension ... slider, green dot, and all. That would make it easier for devs to come up with alternative solutions.

I'd be quite happy for it to just disappear in the time being and wait for a more thorough solution. The userbase i'm thinking of wouldn't even know what an API is let alone be able to change it ... just like me ?

Davis

I don't quite understand why you would want to remove this functionality

Well with the email change fair enough, can be a case for keeping the ability to change it where it is however we've never allowed users or even admins to 'cruise' the forums invisibly, sorta defeats the point in a way and therefore we have it disabled - would like the option of doing it with this software as well.

Thanks for that Dominion, I'm not actually sure what you edited but it's all good ?.

Resurrecting an old discussion here but I re-looked at this and have a temporary fix. It does involve editing core files which I know is not ideal in any sense but it does work in taking them off the settings page. There may be other ways for users to get to them but the audience I have wouldn't know these.

Anyway, I edited the forum-########.js file (the hashes represent different numbers and characters for each install) in the /assets directory and commented out the following:

Email

/*
System.register("flarum/components/ChangeEmailModal",["flarum/components/Modal","flarum/components/Button"],function(g,n){var f,e,c;return{setters:[function(c){f=c["default"]},function(c){e=c["default"]}],execute:function(){c=function(c){function a(){babelHelpers.classCallCheck(this,a);return babelHelpers.possibleConstructorReturn(this,Object.getPrototypeOf(a).apply(this,arguments))}babelHelpers.inherits(a,c);babelHelpers.createClass(a,[{key:"init",value:function(){babelHelpers.get(Object.getPrototypeOf(a.prototype),
"init",this).call(this);this.success=!1;this.email=m.prop(app.session.user.email());this.password=m.prop("")}},{key:"className",value:function(){return"ChangeEmailModal Modal--small"}},{key:"title",value:function(){return app.translator.trans("core.forum.change_email.title")}},{key:"content",value:function(){return this.success?m("div",{className:"Modal-body"},m("div",{className:"Form Form--centered"},m("p",{className:"helpText"},app.translator.trans("core.forum.change_email.confirmation_message",
{email:m("strong",null,this.email())})),m("div",{className:"Form-group"},m(e,{className:"Button Button--primary Button--block",onclick:this.hide.bind(this)},app.translator.trans("core.forum.change_email.dismiss_button"))))):m("div",{className:"Modal-body"},m("div",{className:"Form Form--centered"},m("div",{className:"Form-group"},m("input",{type:"email",name:"email",className:"FormControl",placeholder:app.session.user.email(),bidi:this.email,disabled:this.loading})),m("div",{className:"Form-group"},
m("input",{type:"password",name:"password",className:"FormControl",placeholder:app.translator.trans("core.forum.change_email.confirm_password_placeholder"),bidi:this.password,disabled:this.loading})),m("div",{className:"Form-group"},e.component({className:"Button Button--primary Button--block",type:"submit",loading:this.loading,children:app.translator.trans("core.forum.change_email.submit_button")}))))}},{key:"onsubmit",value:function(a){var b=this;a.preventDefault();this.email()===app.session.user.email()?
this.hide():(app.session.user.email(),this.loading=!0,app.session.user.save({email:this.email()},{errorHandler:this.onerror.bind(this),meta:{password:this.password()}}).then(function(){return b.success=!0})["catch"](function(){}).then(this.loaded.bind(this)))}},{key:"onerror",value:function(b){401===b.status&&(b.alert.props.children=app.translator.trans("core.forum.change_email.incorrect_password_message"));babelHelpers.get(Object.getPrototypeOf(a.prototype),"onerror",this).call(this,b)}}]);return a}(f);
g("default",c)}}});"use strict";
*/

/*
a.add("changeEmail",d.component({children:app.translator.trans("core.forum.settings.change_email_button"),
className:"Button",onclick:function(){return app.modal.show(new l)}}));
*/

Privacy Slider

/*
b.add("privacy",a.component({label:app.translator.trans("core.forum.settings.privacy_heading"),className:"Settings-privacy",children:this.privacyItems().toArray()}));
*/

Of course any updates of Flarum will wipe these out and I DO recommend if you're going to do this to back your file up first so you can at least revert to it if things go t**s up.

wignu that doesn't remove the API endpoints.
