XF 2.2 What does the Disable User Account option do?

[Sal Collaziano]

What does this do? I imagine it turns off the ability for the user to receive emails. What else?

It's similar to what disabling your account on Facebook does. They don't receive notifications, emails, conversations, etc.

Thank you!

Question on this as my users seem to be having issues... They're already logged in because they're receiving the message stating that their account is disabled. So I understand they need to login to re-activate their account - but how do they do that when they're already logged in?

Members can't restore their account themselves.

Thank you! I didn't realize that.

Where is this setting?

 

[djbaxter]

AdminCP >> Users >> {username> >> User state >> option in dropdown for Disabled instead of Valid.

Is there a way to identify a disabled account via CSS in order to style their profile info to show, they are disabled? Or is there a usergroup or could there be a group with all disabled members?

Create a new user group and a promotion.
Style the user group as required.



You will have to manually run the Rebuild user group promotions task.

That worked great. Now I would like to also change the user-avatar within that group or don't show the avatar at all next to posts. Is that possible. I found not permission "use avatar" or and addon that adds that.
