XF 1.5 Remove user from the member list?

[Dryline]

I’ve performed several searches regarding the above subject and haven’t come up with anything of substance. I have a user who requested that their name be removed from the member list and I was wondering if there are any template modifications or other code I could input that would accomplish this. I’m not sure if Extra.css would allow me to do this, so thought I’d pose the question here. I’m not a coding wizard in case it wasn’t apparent!

If this functionality exists in xF 2 then I have one more reason to upgrade. Please let me know if anyone has ideas on how this could be done. I found a couple of unmaintained add-ons that sort of address a solution, but none that have this exact functionality.

TIA,
Mark

There's nothing built in that would do that.

It would require custom development

Thanks Bro Brogan. I was afraid of that and appreciate your fast response!

What about offering to rename his account so his name is not revealed?

 

[Dryline]

We are unique in that we require real names on our forum, unless they’re a well-known television personality (or something similar) and ask for an anonymous name upfront.

So he wants a account, but his name hidden?

 

[Dryline]

He just doesn’t want to be listed in the Member directory. I can understand his concern with the privacy issues going on in the world these days.

Only options I see is changing his username or getting a addon custom developed.

I believe this can be done with minor template modifications at least in XF2, probably in XF1.5 aswell, if you are just talking about https://your.host/members/list this site. It's actually just an additional if-statement.

I offered him several options and this is the one he chose.

Do tell. I’m all ears!

In member_list_macros, enclose the inner of the macro content with

<xf:if is="$user.user_id != X">
(here goes the macro content)
</xf:if>

where X is the user id of the user who wants to be hidden. There should be some kind of possibility to achieve the same effect in XF1.5. Afair the "macros" there were hardcoded for-loops, so you could take the same approach.

 

[Dryline]

I’ll give it a shot to see if it accomplishes what I’m trying to do.

I don’t have a template named member_list_macros that I can find in the 1.5.15 install. Maybe you meant it needed to be created or something else.

 

[S Thomas]

Nope, that's for XF2 as I said. There should be something similar in XF1.5, probably member_list or so. I might dive in into that after the weekend, don't have a 1.5 here sadly.

I think it's the template member_list_item in XF1
And the conditional should be

<xen:if is="{$user.user_id} != X">
(here goes the template content)
</xen:if>
