Is there a way to hide user names in comments etc, from anonymous visitors.
Some of my members do not want to be identified to non members.
Any Ideas

it wouldn't be hard to do, but you would have to edit the templates in a lot of different places

I just tried this in the News Item template and it works:

1) Clone your default template set.
2) Edit news_item.html:

<div class="item">
<div class="itemHead"><span class="itemTitle"><{$story.title}></span></div>
<div class="itemInfo">
<span class="itemPoster"><{$lang_postedby}>
<{if $xoops_isuser}><{$story.poster}><{else}>User<{/if}></span> <span class="itemPostDate"><{$lang_on}> <{$story.posttime}></span> (<span class="itemStats"><{$story.hits}> <{$lang_reads}></span>)
</div>
<div class="itemBody">
<{$story.imglink}>
<p class="itemText"><{$story.text}></p>
</div>
<div class="itemFoot">
<span class="itemAdminLink"><{$story.adminlink}></span> <span class="itemPermaLink"><{$story.morelink}></span>
</div>
</div>

Bold code is what I added. Note that the <> don't get bolded for some reason?

3) Set your cloned template set as the default, and you're ready to go.

You just have to find all the places to change this code-that's the hard bit ;)

Thnx Bassman i will try it out and report back.
