Viewing Profile

Is there any way to make the admin and moderator profiles non-viewable by any other regular user, registered or otherwise?

Interesting!
I *think* a 'moderator' has a user level of 1 (main admin) or 2 (moderator) at least within core *nuke code (as against forums).
So you could retrive that data easily enough;

Code:




if(is_user($user)) {


$userdata = getusrinfo($user);


// username


$username = $userdata['username'];


// access level


$access_lvl = $userdata['user_level'];


// rank - forums?


$rank = $userdata['user_rank'];





// show all data for user


print_r($userdata);


}

Not the retrieve that I'm interested in but rather making it so that a registered user cannot VIEW the admin and/or moderator's profile.

In that case, No, not easily.
Assuming that (in the above code) a $access_lvl of '1' is an admin and '2' is indeed a Moderator, you could use that in a function to determine if the user has access rights to that data.

Code:




function can_see($user){


if(is_user($user)) {


$userdata = getusrinfo($user);


$access_lvl = $userdata['user_level'];


if($access_lvl ==1 || $access_lvl ==2)


return true;


} else {


   return false;


   }


}

Example usage;

Code:




if(can_see($user)) {


// show data


// or do SQL retreive


}

However that would require modifications to the core code in a number of files where you are outputting data.

An alternative might be able to modify the actual SQL select where appropriate. For example in Members_List module index.php file around lines 167 - 170

The problem will be what you define as 'Moderator' as to where you'll need to make changes.
If it's a Forum moderator you'll need to do different things than a core system (RN/PHP-Nuke) Moderator since profile data is typically retrieved from the forum tables and the SELECT statement in (as above lines 167 - 170) are not going to help because 'ranks' or not retrieved, so you would need to add another loop to the statement.

I made some modifications to Members_List module a while ago to add no_follow links etc and had intended to re-write the whole thing to be Forum independent but just never got around to it.

May be easier just to locate the info in the DB and add a bunch of non-related mumbo-jumbo!! Smile

Actually, the best thing I found to do is to simply leave all fields blank in the admin and moderator profiles. So let whomever look all they want .. Smile
