Remove Get E-mail from Actions Block.

Hello

How do we remove get e-mail under the actions block?

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Tech

that is an option when setting actions for the membership levels

Hello

Yes. We understand that's it's in the membership levels but we would like to know how we can remove the option. Thanks.

Hi Tech

Not sure what more you want from this - the solution as DosDawg said is by unticking the "get other members emails" box in the appropriate membership level section of your admin backend:
Admin -> Settings -> Membership Levels

Once this is done your members will be unable to have access to each others' email addresses. Job done. 

hiTech,

you are correct, this appears to be a bug.....

just checked this on a site i am working on, disabled the get other members email option on the membership actions, and it does not seem to be removing the option from the actions block when viewing a members profile. if you click on the button in the actions block to get email address, you are prompted with a message that your membership level does not allow that action.

so i take it your inquiry is actually more along the lines of removing the icon from the actions block, as the action is not allowed, but remains to produce the option on the actions block when viewing a members profile?

i am going to see how to remove this as well, because i have never agreed with this being an option. if a member wants another member to have their email address they will give it to them, or the member should have the option of revealing their email address in their profile.

back in a bit......

if you want to remove it for all members try  admin///section  advanced settings     profiles Anonymous mode (no contact information):

ok this was a pain in the ass for sure....

you are going to need to remove it from the database

phpmyadmin --> select the dolphin database you are using --> use the search feature and search for the following:

cpt_get_mail

search all tables (not needed but do it anyhow)

should return 1 result on sys_objects_actions

opening that table, should show you on ID 6 this is where this is written at.

NOTE before you go any further, i suggest you backup your database --> JIC

after you have backed up your database, then go back to this table --> sys_objects_actions and DELETE ID6

clear your cache, and refresh your browser, and you should be good.

this never should have been written like this... if you disable something like this from member actions, it should damn well disable it. not show some stupid as message about your membership level.......

 well that disables the function, but does not remove it from the actions blockl when viewing a members profile. some stupid message would appear as if you really want members to get other members email addresses.

True, so the box for "Anonymous mode (no contact information):" in Admin -> Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Profile should be checked - this works. Or to remove the button from the database (if the above doesn't satisfy your needs): click here.

 yeah well i would prefer just to remove it from the database, and its not just the button that is in the database, its the entire call. then there is the file freemail.php <-- interesting name as well. you can remove that file from your server.

 Good point, well worth removing this if it's a function you're not using. 
 

Thank you very much for your help, Dosdawg. It's much appreciated. Thanks.
