Stopping user changing their name.... was created by Sparkybear
Hi

I am designing a website for a club for youngsters aged 12 - 16 year olds.

For reason I wont go into here, the leaders of the club do not want the children to change either their username or their actual name. They also dictate that in the forum that the childs name is displayed rather than the username.

I have, after a lot of head scratching managed to stop them changing either in Joomla itself, despite the fact the edit profile MUST be displayed (Core Hack).

However they can still do it via Kunena via the edit profile screen. I worked out how to stop them changing the username via the security setting in Kunena. However, their is no way that I can find to stop them changing their name. I MUST DO THIS!!! I HAVE NO CHOICE!!!

Can anyone tell me the best way to achieve this in Kunena.

Thanks in advance

G

(1) Your configuration report shows that you do not have these Joomla extensions installed on your website: Community Builder, uddeIM, AlphaUserPoints. Use the Kunena Plugin Manager to disable all integration with those other extensions.

(2) We suggest, for best performance, that you use the K 2.0 Blue Eagle template.

(3) Forum Configuration » Security » Security Settings » Allow Username Changes = No

Hi

Thanks for your reply

1) I will do that thanks
2) I didnt see that, will change, thanks
3) I have already did as you suggested. It is the changing of the NAME, not USERname, that I dont know how to stop being edited.

Thanks again

Hi,
you can do this only by adding "disabled" attribute to inputbox in profile page (template file).

Hi,

components -> com_kunena -> template -> blue_eagle -> html -> user -> edit_user.php

line ~35, change this
Code:
<input class="inputbox required" type="text" id="name" name="name" value="<?php echo $this->escape($this->user->get('name'));?>" size="40" />
to this
Code:
<input class="inputbox required" type="text" id="name" name="name" value="<?php echo $this->escape($this->user->get('name'));?>" size="40" disabled="disabled" />
Note: this change will be lost when you update kunena to new version, so you need to redo this.
