Hi Team,

How can I disable the link to a Profile (the profile name link under the avatar) in a discussion? I do not want my users to have this option.

Can you please outline the steps I need to take?

Thanks!
Hi there,

You can follow the instruction in that thread by going to your /administrator/components/com_easydiscuss/tables/profile.php file and go to the function @getLink and then change the following code at around line 297,
return $this->profileLink;

// change it to

return 'javascript:void(0);';


Hope these help.

Hi there,

Unfortunately it is not possible to disable the profile link completely in easydiscuss currently.

Hi Team,

I found this about a similar,

http://stackideas.com/forums/remove-the-link-to-the-profile

But I do not have too much experience in modifying php files.

- Does the solution in the link above work?
- If so, can you help to outline the steps I need to take to implement this solution? (such as, what needs to be removed or changed).


Thanks!

Just one more question.

- Is it possible to have it link to a URL, instead of being void? Because right now, it is still clickable but just doesn't go anywhere. It would look more professional to have it go back to my homepage.

- If this is possible, what would I add to that PHP file?

Any suggestion you can give would be great.

Thanks again!

Hey Tuan,

Looks like when we locked the thread, you also replied to this thread. Can you start a new thread on the forums please?
