It´s me again ;-). Simple question: There are 2 buttons at the bottom of the profile page "manage buddy list" and "view permissions". How i can disable these to buttons so that they are not visible on the profile page? I dont want my users to manage buddy lists and i also dont want them to know what they maybe could do or not…

Regards

Michael

no way to do so without modifying core code.

Also, keep in mind that buddy list members are added in the popup profile page (the profile icon in the top row of each post). If you remove the manage buddy list, they only will be able to add, not delete. you would want to remove the popup profile stuff too. and the buddy list area would still appear in PMs, so you might get a bunch of questions.

If you still want to remove them, look in the sf-form-profile.php file.

Where did you guys disable the option that users can look at their permissions by clicking "Your Permissions" next to their name (key image).

I want to disable this also!

you have to edit the core code… currently, not an option to disable from the UI though we have opened a ticket for this…

To remove the "View Permissions icon" Just change the string of the $out variable to empty:

In sf-page-components.php on line 1680:

 

$site = SFSITEURL."index.php?sf_ahah=permissions&forum=".$sfvars['forumid']."&forumname=".$sfvars['forumname']."&user=".$current_user->ID."&displayname=".$current_user->display_name;
    $out = ' ';
    return $out;

Notice the empty $out = ' ';
