New user properties. [message #15976]

When adding new users - either by admin or through mail - is there a
way to set their default properties.

I want to have a new user's mailing address hidden by default. The
current setup displays the email addresses by default.

One way is to modify the register.tmpl, but that would work only with
users who register themselves and not when they are automatically
added through mail.

Thanks in advance.

There is no way to set default prior to user creation. After you create the account you can modify the settings for it.

If you want to change that, you need to edit the sources.

You mean, I have no other way other than get murdered by the mailing
list people? which they will too, when they see their addresses has
been publicly displayed.

Gosh, those folks are bit testy already.

Thanks anyway. Can you just point me to which source file I have to
drown my head in?

Thanks

Btw, I have noticed that the new user inherits the properties from
the "admin", but only in the registration panel.

It is not done when the user is added through mail.

Most mailing list archives already do that Wink

If you are talking about the default values of accounts created by mailing list import you need to look at the users_reg.inc.t
if ($this->users_opt == -1) {
...

}

The 1st line in that if defines bitmask options for newly created users. Open fud_users.tbl for bitmask reference.

Yeah, Got it! Thanks.

But even though my theme was "newstyle", when adding through mail, it
used the file from the "defaults" theme.

But it worked.

Thanks.
