Hi,
How do I prevent people from updating their aliases? We have been using aliases for a while but now the system is being abused to confuse people. If I just disable the use of aliases then it could give away login names which people wouldn't want. So really what I want is the ability to register with an alias, but not update it.
Anybody any thoughts?
Mocara.

There is no such functionality in FUDforum. To add it you'd need to hack up register.php.t and make the alias a non-updatable field on the form when performing account editing. This is a fairly simple change to make, it could be as simple as changing the alias text box into type="hidden"

In case anyone is interested I modified line 2165 in register.php
if (!__fud_real_user__) {
$reg_alias_t = $FUD_OPT_2 & 128 ? '<tr><td class="RowStyleA">Alias:'.$reg_alias_err.'<br /><font class="SmallText">If you want a nickname other than your logi n to be displayed on the forum, enter the nick name you want to be displayed here.</font></td><td class="RowStyleA"><input type="text" name="reg_alias" size=25 va lue="'.htmlspecialchars($reg_alias).'" maxLength='.$GLOBALS['MAX_LOGIN_SHOW'].'></td></tr>' : '';
else {
$reg_alias_t = $FUD_OPT_2 & 128 ? '<tr><td class="RowStyleA">Alias:'.$reg_alias_err.'<br /><font class="SmallText">Aliases are no longer allowed to be changed. .</font></td><td class="RowStyleA"><input type="hidden" name="reg_alias" size=25 value="'.htmlspecialchars($reg_alias).'" maxLength='.$GLOBALS['MAX_LOGIN_SHO W'].' ></td></tr>' : '';
}
I hope that makes sense. And thanks yet again Ilia.
Mocara.
