Stop username, email and password changes in Forums profile.

registered · Useless Joined: Aug 23, 2002 Posts: 213 Location: Chicago

I have been trying to make thing work for the last 5 hours and about to hit my head to a brick wall.

I don't want users to change thier username, password or e-mail address from forum's edit profile section.

I tried to edit profile_add_body.tpl and removed the options from there but then I started to get "invalid e-mail and password" error. I have been searching all the files in phpBB and includes folder and so far no luck.

Anyone can help?

Username changes can be stopped in Forums Admin, General Config -> Allow username changes.

Dunno why you wouldn't want ppl to change their passwords...???

Because I am using aMember plugin to do that, if someone tries to change something from Nuke's profile, things will break in aMembers system.

You could make them hidden fields and use the variables from getusrinfo() and pass them so the values couldn't be changed. It beats editing the sql inserts.

This is what I have right now..

Code:




<table width="100%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="center">





   <tr> 





      <td align="left"><span class="nav"><a href="{U_INDEX}" class="nav">{L_INDEX}</a></span></td>





   </tr>





</table>











<table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" width="100%" class="forumline">





   <tr> 





      <th class="thHead" colspan="2" height="25" valign="middle">{L_REGISTRATION_INFO}</th>





   </tr>





   <tr> 





         <td class="row2" colspan="2"><span class="gensmall">Items marked with a *


             may be modified <a href="http://www.gymboreenews.com/home/amember/member.php">here</a>.</span></td>








   <tr> 





      <td class="row1" width="38%"><span class="gen">{L_USERNAME}: *</span></td>


<td class="row2" width="200px"><span class="gen">{USERNAME}</span></td>


      


   </tr>





   <tr> 





      <td class="row1"><span class="gen">{L_EMAIL_ADDRESS}: *</span></td>


      <td class="row2" width="200px"><span class="gen">{EMAIL}</span></td>








   </tr>





   <!-- BEGIN switch_edit_profile -->





   <tr> 





     <td class="row1"><span class="gen">{L_CURRENT_PASSWORD}: *</span><br />





   <td class="row2" width="200px"><span class="gen"></span></td>





     </td>





   </tr>





   <!-- END switch_edit_profile -->

If your only using the one forum template you can still do it all in profile_add_body.tpl something like this basically strip out the html and change the form field type from text and password to hidden and remove entirely the change password lines.

Code:







<form action="{S_PROFILE_ACTION}" {S_FORM_ENCTYPE} method="post">





{ERROR_BOX}





<table width="100%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="center">


   <tr> 


      <td align="left"><span class="nav"><a href="{U_INDEX}" class="nav">{L_INDEX}</a></span></td>


   </tr>


</table>





<table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" width="100%" class="forumline">


   <input type="hidden" class="post" style="width:200px" name="username" size="25" maxlength="25" value="{USERNAME}" />


        <input type="hidden" class="post" style="width:200px" name="email" size="25" maxlength="255" value="{EMAIL}" />


   <input type="hidden" class="post" style="width: 200px" name="cur_password" size="25" maxlength="100" value="{CUR_PASSWORD}" />

Yeh its a good idea I think I'll remove everything but the siggy and avatar controls no reason to leave it in there really.

I took your idea and made my file like this:

Code:




<form action="{S_PROFILE_ACTION}" {S_FORM_ENCTYPE} method="post">





{ERROR_BOX}





<table width="100%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="center">

      <td align="left"><span class="nav"><a href="{U_INDEX}" class="nav">{L_INDEX}</a></span></td>


   </tr>


</table>

      <th class="thHead" colspan="2" height="25" valign="middle">{L_REGISTRATION_INFO}</th>


   </tr>


   <tr> 


      <td class="row2" colspan="2"><span class="gensmall">Items marked with a *

You might wanna disable everything BUT the avatar and Signature since Your Account is still not accepting BBcode correctly.
