hide online status

Posted: Sat Oct 17, 2009 12:07 pm

I have a problem with the on-line status members can hide there online status and i switch it off in the your account module. so the members don't see that option no more.

But the std is hide so if new members register, the are auto on hide is there a way to put that off so the user is not auto hide anymore?

Try changing line 127 of modules/Your_Account/public/new_finish.php

From:

Code:

$user_allow_viewonline = (isset($user_allow_viewonline)) ? intval($user_allow_viewonline) : 1;

To:

Code:




$user_allow_viewonline = (isset($user_allow_viewonline)) ? intval($user_allow_viewonline) : 0;

Anything we suggested above will not work for existing users. We can fix that, but first does it work for new users?

it wont work for the new users, now i look in the db every day and select the new user and then i put the 0 to a 1 Wink

I'm reinstalling everything on my computer so it may be a few days until I can respond.

Hidden users only applies to the forum and they are never hidden from the admin.

Hi Guardian,

I know that i can see the hidden users thats not the problem.
Normal i don't have a problem with it but i have made a board for woman and the owner don't want anybody hidden of the site.

I work with ravennuke now for 3 years and never had a problem with it accept now in the 2.4 version.

It also applies to the user info block. My comp is DOA at the moment so I an unable to look into this. Maybe one of the other guys can take a look at it.

You can try changing the default value for the field directly in the database
user_allow_viewonline tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1'

Other than that I don't know what to suggest as essentially, the owner is removing the users legal right to privacy, which I'm uncomfortable with.

I don't see how it is their right to be hidden. They have the option to not logon and/or sign up in the first place. A user is essentially anonymous unless they decide not to be.

I have the same issue.

If I DEACTIVATE the Allow View Online option in YA Config. Then each user that registers and activates is activated with a Hide Online Status value of "ON".

I've tried all sorts of fixes and nothing seems to work.
