Changing user "Deleted" to a different Name

[BusyMother]

Is there a way that when I member deletes their account, that all their posts show something other then "Deleted" as their username?

I would prefer something other then "deleted"

Try this:

Go to Admin > Themes > Layout Templates > Mini Profile

You should find this around line 4: (if it's not on line 4, just look around closely):

{if $[user.is_deleted]}<em>Deleted Member</em><br />{/if}
Replace "Deleted Member" with whatever you want it to be.

Hope that helped, let me know how it goes!

Hi BusyMother

The template modification suggested by Ratty Poe would affect the text the red arrow points to in the screenshot below:



If that solves your issue, we can consider this resolved.

However if you want to change the text in the line above that, a further modification would be necessary.

Also, template modifications do not affect the mobile version of proboards. So Deleted would still be the text displayed for a deleted member in the mini-profile on the mobile version.

Thank you so much for pointing that out Retread ! I looked a little closer and think I found what the original poster was asking!

I replaced line 2 of Mini Profile with this:

   {if $[user.is_deleted]}
Enter text here!<br/>
{else}
$[user]<br />
{/if}
I tested it and it worked on my forum. I was able to change "Deleted" to "Enter Text here", and from what I could tell it did not effect any of the other accounts.

Thank you both!  Yes I want both of those changed!

I will do that now.

Thanks again!~

Hello again,  While the above is corrected, it still shows deleted in areas like this:

Hi BusyMother

From your Admin panel, navigate:
Admin Home> Themes> Layout Templates then select the desired theme from the dropdown to the right of Current Theme.

Click on Board, then click the Thread List tab.

(On or about line 17) Find this:
<td class="created-by clickable">$[thread.created_by]</td>

Replace that, with this:
<td class="created-by clickable">{if $[thread.created_by.is_deleted]}Former Member{else}$[thread.created_by]{/if}</td>

(Change Former Member to whatever text suits you.)

Click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page or the Save Theme button near the top of the page.

Thank you SO much!


You all are wonderful
