Hide Member Profiles From Guests

[katanya123]

This is something we have on our current board when not logged in. 



The coding from v4.5 does not appear to work, any chance of a plug-in or new code, please?

This could actually be done with a template modification to make it look like a normal error page. This looks like a lot, but that's just because we're adding things in several places:

Go to Themes > Layout Templates > User Profile.

Find this code around lines 2-5:
<div class="title-bar">
<h1>View Profile - $[user.name] ($[user.username])</h1>
</div>

And add this above it:
{if !$[current_user.is_member]}<div class="title-bar">
       <h2>Oops, there was an error!</h2>
</div>
   <div class="content pad-all cap-bottom auto-overflow">
You do not have permission to access this area.
</div>
   {else}

Finally, add the closing {/if} at the bottom where shown:
46: <div class="pad-all-double ui-helper-clearfix clear">
47: $[content]
48: </div>
49: </div>{/if}
50: </div>

Notes -collected from later posts
• The error text we provide in the second piece of code can be changed to whatever you want.
• You should only need to do this for the default theme as this is the only one guests will use.

Fantastic, thanks!

Can I also change the text Oops, there was an error! to something else?

yes, you can.

Do you think it will only need to be changed on the default as that is the only one guests can actually see?

Assuming V5 is like V4 (which I'm pretty sure it is), yes, you'll only need to do that on the default theme for that reason.

This isn't working that I can tell.

I've followed to the letter, and tested.

I note I have some red code on line 15, that has been like that since I can remember, so wondered if an admin could check it for me please?

Much obliged.

EDIT: It's working fine.

What I wanted was to change the general message for the message guests get throughout the forum. Will check the board for other options.
