Provent A Profile From Being Edited (13th Oct 08 at 2:52am UTC)
OK I need a code taht will prevent an users profile from being edited, not even by them. I am requesting this because I have a guest accoutn setup on my forum so people can see the API system on the website, and i need to make sure people can not edit the guest profile on the forum and add in bad things and stuff. I would try to cod ethis myself, but I ain't got a clue where to start.

So just prevent this profile from being edited? (rather than all profiles) Code: Select All <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- if(document.profile_form && document.profile_form.user && document.profile_form.user.value == "test-account-id") { var input = get('input', TAG); for(i = 0; i<input.length; i ++) { input.item(i).disabled = true; } } else if(location.href.match(/\/view_profile/)) { var a = get('a', TAG); for(i = 0; i<a.length; i ++) { if(a.item(i).href.match(/modify_profile\/user\/test-account-id(\/\|$)/)) { a.item(i).style.display = 'none'; a.item(i).parentNode.removeChild(a.item(i).nextSibling); break; } } } --> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- if(document.profile_form && document.profile_form.user && document.profile_form.user.value == "test-account-id") { var input = get('input', TAG); for(i = 0; i<input.length; i ++) { input.item(i).disabled = true; } } else if(location.href.match(/\/view_profile/)) { var a = get('a', TAG); for(i = 0; i<a.length; i ++) { if(a.item(i).href.match(/modify_profile\/user\/test-account-id(\/\|$)/)) { a.item(i).style.display = 'none'; a.item(i).parentNode.removeChild(a.item(i).nextSibling); break; } } } --> </script> Replace both instances of "test-account-id" with the username.

I forgot that i still need to be able to edit it The simplest way for you to do that would be to wrap it in an if statement which checks the value of vf_username. eg: <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- // Check that it is not being loaded by "admin" if(vf_username != "admin") { // ... Code to disable form & remove link here ... } //--> </script>

ah ok so that would work, i didn't think it would so i didn't try.. man i forgot about guests having other features.. I tried to do duplicate this part of the code i order to remove all other profile options, but it wasn't working to well, in fact it was breaking the code: Code: Select All if(a.item(i).href.match(/modify_profile\/user\/guest1(\/\|$)/)) { a.item(i).style.display = 'none'; a.item(i).parentNode.removeChild(a.item(i).nextSibling); break; if(a.item(i).href.match(/modify_profile\/user\/guest1(\/\|$)/)) { a.item(i).style.display = 'none'; a.item(i).parentNode.removeChild(a.item(i).nextSibling); break; Where it says "modify_profile" i tried putting in the other links names like "view_buddies" or "notifications" Sorry I am still learning, I hope soon that I won't have to ask for help anymore.
