Disable Profile for Guests

Yolo

Hi! How can i disable the Profile for Guests? We'd like that Guest can not see the complete Profil.
Thx

Yolo it's not really possible to disable the profile page entirely, because it's heavily tied to the REST API and that API is still necessary to retrieve discussion and post authors.

Extensions that add information to a user profile usually come with their own permissions that allow hiding their content everywhere, including the profile page and user info card.

An extension could remove the profile route for guests to make the profile pages return a 404 error, but it wouldn't change anything to the data available via the underlying API.

An extension could also disable the user filters that power the list of discussions and posts of a user, to prevent guests from finding discussions for a specific user. Currently almost all filters that ship with Flarum are enabled for everyone as it simplifies the code greatly, but extensions can affect them.

So it is not possible to deactivate the link to the profile so thats guest can't see all the posts (as overview) of a user ? would be awesome if just the link to the profile could be disabled. the posts itself is not the problem. but he complete timeline and infos (last online / date of registration) is a bit too much.

Yolo not natively, no. The extension API would have to be used to make those changes.

Flarum could maybe integrate permissions for online status and date of registration in the future, I can see a regular use case for that. In the meantime, it's very simple to make an extension that hides those attributes based on a permission, but still requires a few lines of PHP and javascript in an extension.

Using CSS would also be possible as a temporary fix:

.UserPage .UserCard-info { display: none !important; }

luceos is this working only for guests? this would be awesome. will check it later when back on my computer. thank you

luceos

Yolo no, it applies to everyone.

Yolo Combining this extension (https://discuss.flarum.org/d/26970-member-add-logged-in-class-to-body-tag) and what luceos has told you you could achieve that, I can give you a hand with the CSS if you don't know how to do it.

Yolo

luceos oh ok. Is there a similar option to make this only for groups? anyway.. it is the best workaround until now. ty

Darkle Hello and thank you. I'm just on my smartphone right now and will take a closer look at it later. I hope the extension is also available at freeflarum. otherwise I have to make a request.
I would of course be happy about a css code. Unfortunately I don't know that well enough. wishing a nice evening

Yolo From what I've seen on the freeflarum website, it is! It's called Members Class. The CSS code should be something like this (without testing it, let me know):

First we hide for everyone as luceos said:

.UserPage .UserCard-info { display: none !important; }

Then overwrite with the class added by the extension to show it to logged-in users:

.logged-in .UserPage .UserCard-info {display: inherit !important;}

Darkle First we hide for everyone as luceos said:

This is NOT working so i could not test the rest 🙁

Darkle

Yolo You just want the posts to not be shown in the profile, right? try this:

div.UserPage > div.container {
    display: none!important;
}

Yolo

Darkle yes but they should not be shown for guests only. i will try later, thx
