Forcing the full name to be private
Users can make their Full Name private on the forum by checking the Private check box next to the full name option. You can force the full name to always be private by following the instructions below. The code below will enable the Private check box and then hide it. However, if a user already previously specified their full name and didn't mark it as private, their name will still appear on the forum until their profile is edited again.
- Log in to your Website Toolbox account.
- Click the Integrate link in the main menu.
- Click the HTML link.
- Paste the following HTML code into text boxes below Forum Head Tag HTML Code.
- Save your changes.
<script> window.addEventListener("load", function(){ if(jQ('#name_private').length) { jQ('#name_private').attr({'checked':'checked'}).closest('div.checkbox').hide(); } }); </script>
Alternatively, you can hide the Full Name field from the Edit Profile page by updating your forum's Profile Settings.
