XF 2.2 Account Settings limitations

[chrisf]

Not sure if this should be in support or styling so please move if I am not in the right space

Question, we want to not allow a user to uncheck automatically watch content you create or interact with but we want to let them enable/disable email notifications. I don't see any way to easily do that or an add-on to do that. Is there a template I can tweak on that to not allow someone to uncheck that? We have a few check boxes on recieve a notification as well that we don't want users to be able to disable either under their account preferences. Thanks for any pointers!

You would have to edit the template(s) to achieve that.

Brogan, Thanks for the quick response. I am not a programmer by any means but can sorta hack my way through things. Looking in the account_preferences template I see the code for the content options section of the account/preferences section for the user. I think I should be able to figure out the code to make the changes I need there. Where I am getting lost is the receive a notification when someone sections. In looking at the same account_preferences template I see nothing for these other check options like "reacts to your message" or "starts following you". Any pointers on where I can find the template that those are in? Sorry new to XF as I recently took over for a non profit to help them and am still learning XF. Thanks!!

Some of the code is complied using for each loops so it would require wrapping that section in a conditional statement and filtering out elements which match specific criteria/vars.

If you just want to remove all option then just delete the entire block of code.

Here's a guide which will help with determining which vars are in use on the page and how to manipulate them: https://xenforo.com/community/resou...ositions-navigation-entries-and-widgets.8041/
