Disable Member Listing Option

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Is there a way to disable or hide the Member Listing menu option until after a person has logged into JForum? From a "security" type point of view, an anonymous user shouldn't be able to see the entire member list before registering / logging in.

PS - Very nice forum software - you're doing a great job with this!

First, thanks for the eulogies

About your question: there is no core support to it, but you can easily fix it yourself: open the file "templates/default/user_list.htm", and add the code

<#if logged>

before

<#include "karma_search.inc.htm"> 

until the last <table> table (used for the pagination). Then close the statement adding

</#if>

it will look like

<#if logged>
    <#include "karma_search.inc.htm"> 
    // HTML of user listing
</#if>

Rafael,

That works fine! Even though the "Member Listing" menu item still appears, clicking on it yields a blank page rather than a member listing.

Thanks for the fast response!!

And, rather than just having a blank page, added this to the bottom of the user_list.htm file:

<#if ! logged>

Sorry, you must be logged in to see the Member List!

</#if>

The same works for Member profile

Yes it does! And that's a good idea too!

So the files named "user_list.htm" and "user_profile.htm" need to be edited (for those that can't find where this should go).

And rather than doing another <#if ! logged> clause, I changed to an <#else> for the message, which is also more "generic" to fit either file:

<#if logged>
.
. . . existing code is here ...
.

<#else>

Sorry, you must be logged in to see Member information!

</#if>
