Hello !

I can't find how to modify the registration form in order that the "Allow other users to view my email address" box be checked by default...

Can someone help me out ?

Many thanks,

Martin.

Can you tell us which version of XOOPS you're using?

In that version, you should be able to view/edit your profile from the user menu and the option to make your email address viewable is a checkbox.

Click on "edit account" from the user menu, and make sure the box labeled "Allow other users to view my email address" is checked.

Yes, but I would like the "Allow other users to view my email address" box to be checked by default when a new user wants to register...

Is that possible ?

Thanks for your help,
Martin.

I'm no expert here, but in XOOPS 2.0.xx I don't think so. (unless you're willing to perform a hack on a php file...)

In the new Xoops, 2.2.3+ you can modify the defaults for those fields through the admin control panel by going to the extended profiles module -> Fields and look for the field you want to change the default for...

Hope this helps,

If your willing to hack the php file, look for something like:

checkbox' name='user_viewemail' value='1

(this is not exact... I just copying and pasteing from a view source from an un-upgraded site at while on the "register" page...)


in register.php in your webroot and tinker with that a bit.

Hi there.

You need to edit /include/registerform.php

If you open that file, about half way down you will see something like this:

Quote:
$email_tray = new XoopsFormElementTray(_US_EMAIL, "<br />");
$email_text = new XoopsFormText("", "email", 25, 60, $email);
$email_option = new XoopsFormCheckBox("", "user_viewemail", $user_viewemail);
$email_option->addOption(1, _US_ALLOWVIEWEMAIL);
$email_tray->addElement($email_text);
$email_tray->addElement($email_option);

Change this:
$email_option->addOption(1, _US_ALLOWVIEWEMAIL);

to this:
$email_option->addOption(0, _US_ALLOWVIEWEMAIL);

This will set the check box as ticked by default, they can of-course untick it.

Hope that helps

Dave
