Question How do I disable Kunena userlist feature?

Hi,

I´ve been searchin for this but didn´t found a solution.
Even when using userlist as the search word this forum freezes.

What I found out is this:
As privacy is a very important thing to most people, I can remove the link for the userlist in Kunena 1.7.
Still the word userlist remains.
I wonder why as it´s not relevant information and it isn´t a link anymore?

But beside that, if you are a bit familiar with tools like a forum, it is quite easy to add the additional path to the userlist ( www.mysite.yes/index.php/component/kunena/userlist ), and still see all the registered users.

Why isn´t this addressed in the software?
Or did I overlooked the settings to accomplish this?

G'day, and welcome to Kunena.

Thank you for reporting the problem with searching the forum for the term "userlist". I have asked the team to investigate why this problem has occurred.

I think you are asking how to disable the userlist feature. Is this what you want to know?

Try this: Forum Configuration » Plug-ins » Userlist » Users Per Page = 0

The problem you reported with the broken Search function has been identified as a bug in K 1.7.2 that has been fixed in K 2.0. I'm sorry, that's the only information I have at this time.

Hi Sozzled,

Great to hear that the bug is addressed in K 2.0.
I didn´t found that version for downloading by the way.

Setting that value to 0 doesn´t do much in the brief testing I all ready did.
Although I can code the files to do what I think is good for privacy, it seams to me that such a `feature` is a basic one in a forum.

I have changed the subject to make it more meaningful.

K 2.0 is not publicly available. You can search for K 2.0 to find out more about this upcoming release.

I have to say that I asked the question and that was the advice I received. I will direct my colleagues to this topic and seek their direct input.

I agree with you. The ability to turn on/off the userlist feature should be easily configurable.

Setting the value to 0 will output 150 users at once.

But the solution is here:

Use at your own risk!!!

In Kunena configuration go to the tab "integration" set "profile and userlists" to none.

Than you´ll need to alter 2 files.
And please be sure to backup!!!


To get rid of the unneccessary userlist without the link:

Kunena version 1.7.2
In file: components\com_kunena\lib\kunena.link.class.php
Lines 269 till 275

function GetUserlistLink($action, $name, $rel = 'nofollow', $class = '') {
$link = self::GetUserlistURL ( $action );
if ($link) {
return self::GetHrefLink ( $link, $name, '', $rel, $class );
}
return $name;
}

Change line 274 from:
return $name;
to:
return;

And for the denial of the userlist by url manipulation:

Kunena version 1.7.2
In file: components\com_kunena\funcs\userlist.php
Line 36

if( !$this->isAllowed() ) return false;

change to:

if( ( !$this->isAllowed() ) || ($this->config->integration_profile == 'none') ) return false;

I hope this isn't a dumb question, but is there a way to disable the "user list" page? I see an option to show online users, but do not see an option to enable or disable the complete user list. I do not want users to be to see how many users there are, or what their usernames are.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

My bad, thought I was in the FAQ, MOD pls. move post...
