Member Profiles - Followed Members Only

[ineedhelp]

In the Admin CMS > Options > User Registration > View this user's profile page details: Followed Members Only

I've set the setting as above, but everyone is still able to view all member's profiles and post on their walls, why?

Please let me know, thanks.

 

[Paul B]

That only applies to new registrations, not existing accounts.

 

[ineedhelp]

Anyway to make it apply to all?

You can do it with a query, but you can't stop members from changing it back.

Changing it back is fine, up to them, but initially it would be a good idea.

What would the query be and where would it be inserted, pls?

 

[Paul B]

UPDATE xf_user_privacy
SET allow_view_profile = 'followed'

Run it in phpMyAdmin.

 

[ineedhelp]

Thanks!

Will this also be active once I upgrade the forum ?

 

[Paul B]

Upgrading won't affect that field.

 

[ineedhelp]

So I enter this into the SQL query box and hit go?

Do I need to label or bookmark it? And it says for all users? do I tick it?

If I ever want to disable or remove/delete this query, how would this be done?

Thanks.

 

[Paul B]

It's a one shot event.

Just open phpMyAdmin, select the database, click on the SQL tab at the top, paste the query in and click Go.

Once done, it can't be undone.

 

[ineedhelp]

Ok great I'll do that right now!

So if I choose to ever reverse it, not possible?

 

[ineedhelp]

I mean....

What would the query be to change it back to Members Only or All Visitors?

Thanks.

P.S. the above query worked!

 

[Paul B]

Same query, just replace followed with members or everyone.

 

[ineedhelp]

Thanks!

 

[ineedhelp]

Can you tell me where I can edit the term/phrase:

"This member limits who can view their profile"

I've looked around in the admin panel, but can't seem to find it...

Thanks.

 

[Paul B]

Search the phrases for it.

 

[ineedhelp]

So simple, thanks, found it!

I was looking in Default Style > Templates

Instead of creating a new thread, I thought I'd ask the following in here

Below is a copy and past of the Navigation template code for the members tab:

        <!-- members -->
        <xen:if is="{$tabs.members}">
            <li class="navTab members {xen:if $tabs.members.selected, 'selected', 'Popup PopupControl PopupClosed'}">

                <a href="{$tabs.members.href}" class="navLink">{$tabs.members.title}</a>
                <a href="{$tabs.members.href}" class="SplitCtrl" rel="Menu"></a>

                <div class="{xen:if {$tabs.members.selected}, 'tabLinks', 'Menu JsOnly tabMenu'}">
                    <div class="primaryContent menuHeader">
                        <h3>{$tabs.members.title}</h3>
                        <div class="muted">{xen:phrase quick_links}</div>
                    </div>
                    <ul class="secondaryContent blockLinksList">
                    <xen:hook name="navigation_tabs_members">
                        <li><a href="{xen:link members}">{xen:phrase registered_members}</a></li>
                        <li><a href="{xen:link online}">{xen:phrase current_visitors}</a></li>
                        <li><a href="{xen:link recent-activity}">{xen:phrase recent_activity}</a></li>
                    </xen:hook>
                    </ul>
                </div>
            </li>
        </xen:if>

I want to make this tab accessible to members signed in only.

The believe the code I need to make this happen is:

<ul class="secondaryContent blockLinksList">

I've tried entering it into the above menu coding, but each attempt messes up the navigation

Can you tell me where to insert it pls, if it is even the correct code?

Also by doing this - will it effect search engines/seo results ?

 

[Paul B]

How can I show content just to logged in members and hide it from guests?
<xen:if is="{$visitor.user_id}">
This content will show to logged in members only
</xen:if>

So I just copy and paste that code into the Members code (can you tell me where to place it pls)

I'm learning each time I make changes
