Hide members list

[smashwords]

There was a code snippet for the older version which hid the members list from everyone except admins. I don't know who wrote it.

I copied the old code into the proper locations in V5 header but it doesn't work.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Here is the code which worked in v4:


<script type="text/javascript">
// Remove 'Members' link from menu

var fStaff=/^(admin|staff1)$/; // Staff allowed to see 'Members' link.

if(!fStaff.test(pb_username)){
var mLink = document.getElementsByTagName ("a");
for (var a = 0, l = mLink.length; a < l; a ++) {
if (mLink.item (a).href.match (/action=members/i)) {
mLink.item (a).parentNode.removeChild (mLink.item (a).nextSibling);
mLink.item (a).parentNode.removeChild (mLink.item (a));
break;
}
}
if(pb_action=="members"){document.write("<div style='display:none;'>");}
}
</script>

Could you just not remove it from the navigation menu?

Admin Home > Settings > Forum Settings > Navigation

Untick "Members".

You can still visit the members page if you know the URL (/members).

Thanks, Peter. I can (and have) removed Members link from menu, but found having the Members list appear for Admin only was quicker than adding the /members to url whenever I needed access to members list.
