How to disable PMs ?

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi there !

I'm making some customizations to JForum (2.1.7) and I would like to enable by default email display and disable by default PMs.

I made SSO with some other applications ... it works fine !

The first thing (enabling email displayed) has been successfully done by setting the "jforum_users.user_viewemail" database default value to '1'. But dealing with the same customization for the "jforum_users.user_allow_pm" field does not resolves my problem (I still have access to "private messages" link)

Am I missing something ? (Maybe "pm disabling" is impossible)
I'd like to edit the JForum base source code as less as possible (this is the reason why changing the database default values seat perfectly for my needs ;)) in order to follow JForum new releases =)

Thanks in advance

EDIT: uh oh ... looks like there lies some bug after a post edition =)

In fact, you can't disable private messages. Here's the easiest way to do it:

Open the file WEB-INF/config/modulesMapping.properties, and remove the "pm" section. Then, just remove the links that point to the private messages page.

That's all.

I am facing a serious problem o_O ...

When looking for the .htm template where there is the "Private Messages" link (in the header), I can't reach the file where this link ("ForumBase.privateMessages" properties key) is located

Even when I look for "icon_mini_message.gif" (the little icon I have to the left) in every file content, I can't find any result which corresponds to my needs ... Is this normal o_O ?

The files are pm_*.htm

no it's ok I solved my problem ... the link I was looking for was in the header.htm ... but eclipse didn't search into it because of an invalid file encoding

Nevertheless thanks to you = )
