How to disable showonline option from user profile configuration was created by kemadiyo
Hi everybody, I would like to disable the option that allow the users to be invisible in my 3.0.6 kunena forum. I found that editing the view.html.php file from components---com_kunena---views I can hide the option to change the online status from the user profile, but I don't know why users continue changing their status to invisible, just visible for administrators. Can anyone help me, please?

Did you ask them? I don't know if it's a problem or not. If people want to hide their online status then, I suppose, they should be able to do that. However, administrators (and global moderators) can see the list of invisible users in the Who is Online area of the Index and Recent Topics pages.

[strike]As far as your second question about message preview is concerned, this is a different subject and I think you should ask that question as a separate topic.[/strike]

Yes, I did and they all say that they didn't change their online status again, and that's what I can't understand, why if I had disabled/removed the option from the view.html.php file, they don't have the chance to change it, and it is changed again by itself. You are right, that is not a problem but it's a feature that I would like to have in my forum so, please, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You modified some of the Kunena source code? What, exactly, did you change?

I was looking for a Kunena general configuration option to disable it but I didn't find nothing, so I noticed that in the view.html.php file, located in components---com_kunena---views---user there is this code:
Code:
$item = new StdClass(); $item->name = 'showonline'; $item->label = JText::_('COM_KUNENA_USER_SHOWONLINE'); $options = array(); $options[] = JHtml::_('select.option', 0, JText::_('COM_KUNENA_NO')); $options[] = JHtml::_('select.option', 1, JText::_('COM_KUNENA_YES')); $item->field = JHtml::_('select.genericlist', $options, 'showonline', 'class="kinputbox" size="1"', 'value', 'text', $this->escape($this->profile->showOnline), 'kshowonline'); $this->settings[] = $item;

I removed it and in the kunena profile---edit--forum options tab, the option Show connected: Yes o not dissapeared. Then thought phpmyadmin I changed manually the status of those users that already have changed their status, table _kunena_users and everything looks working fine, but two days later the status of those users changed again for itselves. That's what I don't understand why, if I changed the code and the database registers...

Sorry for my English, I try to...

As I have written before on this forum,

I do not know why something worked—for a while—after you changed the source code and why it does not seem to work now. Sorry.
