Remove user's ability to change display group

[Former Member]

Alright so I figured out the code to remove a user's ability to change their display group in Edit Profile > Settings. However, I can't figure out how to remove the description ("Select which group you want displayed in your profile."), it can be bypassed if they disable javascript, and it removes it for everyone not just regular members, also staff. So rather than post in one of the libraries, I figured I'd put it here and see if anyone wants to contribute to fix some of its shortcomings

Remove the title-- put this in Global Header
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
if(proboards.data('route').name == "edit_user_settings") {
$('.container.edit-user label').each(function(){
if($(this).text().indexOf('Display Group') != -1) {
$(this).prev().hide();
$(this).hide();
}});}});
</script>

Remove the drop down box-- put this in Edit User Profile layout template
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
   if(proboards.data('route').name == "edit_user_settings"){

       $('.display-group-id').css('display','none');

   }
});
</script>

This is a little more succinct way of doing it (and also allows staff to still edit their group):

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
if(pb.data('route').name == "edit_user_settings" && pb.data('user').is_staff == 0) {
$('.display-group-id').hide() // Hides select menu
.prev().hide() // Hides description
.prev().hide() // Hides title
.prev().hide().prev().hide();// Hides <br /> tags
}
});
</script>

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Hey Tim Camara, would there be a way to do this to remove the ability for users to pick and choose what gives them notifications? We rely heavily on tagging to alert people and it's mandatory per our rules, so if possible I'd like to ensure no one turns off that notification, so I figured removing it is the only way possible.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
if(pb.data('route').name == "edit_user_notifications" && pb.data('user').is_staff == 0) {
$('input[name="tags"]').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
}
});
</script>
Will disable the checkbox, while leaving it in place so the page is more visually pleasing.  If you just want it removed, replace .attr('disabled', 'disabled') with .remove().

Thank you very much, I really appreciate the help, I wouldn't have known where to even start with it.

I might be a dunce but it doesn't appear to be working. I put it first in the Edit User Profile layout template and it didn't work, so then I tried the global header. At least, when I go to edit my profile > notifications and uncheck the box, it lets me, and then lets me save it, and then upon refreshing the page it is still unchecked. Did I do anything wrong? Somewhere else I should add it, perhaps, Tim Camara? I'm so sorry to be bothering you again when you're busy as heck with the forums.net and getting tagged all over

[Tim Camara]

Are you trying it as a staff member? There's an is_staff check on it (just like with the original code) so that it won't be enforced for staff members. Just remove the " && pb.data('user').is_staff == 0" if you want it for every member, staff or not.

Hah, shoulda figured. Thank you so much!

Working!

[Tim Camara]

No problem.
