How to restrict access to Member Listing page

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi,

I'm thinking of using Jforum for our internal company forum, hence would not like non-members to see the member listing.
Is there a way to restrict permissions on the member listing page, or is ther no other way but to delte the link to it.
If so, how do I do it?

Thanks in advance.

You can make a small change to the template: open the file templates/default/user_list.htm, and there restrict the access to logged users using this:

<#if logged?default(false)>
    html code of user listing goes here
</#if>

You should also add this in the "user_profile.htm" file too.

Hi Rafael, GatorBate3

Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm not very familiar with coding, as we don't have webmaster per se.
Could you help me out a little further here?
What specifically do I have to put in between the if statement?
Do you mean I have to go to the member listing page, right click and show the source, and copy and paste the whole thing in there?

Regards,

No. You need access to the server and JForum application files on the server where JForum is installed. Then you will need to edit the YOUR_JFORUM_INSTALL_PATH_GOES_HERE/templates/default/user_list.htm and user_profile.htm files. You may want to talk to the person that installed and configured JForum for you to get further details on how to do that.

Hi GatorBait3,

Actually I'm the one who installed it.
I know how to go to the files and edit them, I just don' understand what to put inside "html code of user listing goes here".

Could you help me out on that part?

Thank You,

For the benefit of others wanting to do this in the future...

It's more user friendly if you also disable the "Member Listing" item in the header when you have the functionality disabled. Add the same #if block around the img, a, and nbsp for that item in templates/default/header.htm.
