XF 1.1 Disable "Home Page" from profile.

[ix2013]

How can I disable/remove the website field on profiles and personal details?

You will need to edit the template.

 

[ix2013]

How?

Template: account_personal_details
Find:

        <dl class="ctrlUnit">
            <dt><label for="ctrl_homepage">{xen:phrase home_page}:</label></dt>
            <dd><input type="url" name="homepage" value="{$visitor.homepage}" id="ctrl_homepage" class="textCtrl" /></dd>
        </dl>

Remove it.

        <dl class="ctrlUnit">
            <dt><label for="ctrl_homepage">{xen:phrase home_page}:</label></dt>
            <dd><input type="url" name="homepage" value="{$visitor.homepage}" id="ctrl_homepage" class="textCtrl" /></dd>
        </dl>

Remove it.

Or comment it out.

Or comment it out.

Psh, who comments. <xen:comment> all the way.

I personally prefer removing or <xen:comment>'ing because it removes data sent to the end user.

This still leaves existing sites people have entered. How can I remove those?

 

[Jeremy]

Run the following query:

UPDATE`xf_user_profile`SET`homepage`=''

For future information, in 1.2 Batch Update Users can do that from the ACP.

I don't think it's possible.

I don't think it's possible.

Yes it is.

How do you search it?
Just search all user?
And I got 160K+.
I thought I can search first those user that have homepage declared.
Thanks Martok for that

You can't search for declared home pages first. If you're removing all home pages it doesn't matter, just search for all users and remove from all.

While we're currently still using 1.3.5, is this still the only way to remove the Home Page field? We seem to have members signing up just to create a link and never show up again. If we can remove this from even being an option I'm hoping that it will discourage these sign ups.

In the ACP or direct in the database, or user by user with edit user.

I can tell you from experience that they just move link locations. First it was the Home Page URL then i removed the option.. So they moved on to the about me tab.. So i removed that option to and now im finding them adding links to the location field and other custom fields...

But that doesn't remove the field.

Ugh... yeah, that would probably happen with us as well. Thanks for the response.

Because of that I personally would leave the field in. Looking at recent sign ups it makes it easy to spot spammers. Sometimes before they even post.

^ That

That and the user change log are very useful for spotting spam accounts.

Yup most my attempts to stop them have thus far only made the task of spotting them more difficult.
