thank you

Ho wcan we get this to work for Moodle 2.0?

 I need to hide all users email addresses.

This hack worked perfectly in Moodle 1.9

How can it be changed to work in Moodle 2.0+ ?

Ok, I have had a look and this is what I have done to try and replicate the hack...

This line no longer is in user/view.php:

print_row(get_string("email").":", obfuscate_mailto($user->email, '', $user->emailstop)."$emailswitch");

In version 2.0 this code is used:

if ($currentuser
   or $user->maildisplay == 1 //allow everyone to see email address
   or ($user->maildisplay == 2 && is_enrolled($coursecontext, $USER)) //fellow course members can see email. Already know $user is enrolled
   or has_capability('moodle/course:useremail', $coursecontext)) {
    print_row(get_string("email").":", obfuscate_mailto($user->email, ''));
}

So what I have done is commented out two lines as follows:

if ($currentuser
   //or $user->maildisplay == 1 //allow everyone to see email address
   //or ($user->maildisplay == 2 && is_enrolled($coursecontext, $USER)) //fellow course members can see email. Already know $user is enrolled
   or has_capability('moodle/course:useremail', $coursecontext)) {
    print_row(get_string("email").":", obfuscate_mailto($user->email, ''));
}

I think this means that even if the learner sets to allow everyone or course members to see their email, it will still not display except to admins (that is how it works for me).

I also found I needed to do a similar hack in user/profile.php. The original code there is:

if ($currentuser
 or $user->maildisplay == 1
  or has_capability('moodle/course:useremail', $context)
 or ($user->maildisplay == 2 and enrol_sharing_course($user, $USER)) ){
    print_row(get_string("email").":", obfuscate_mailto($user->email, ''));
}

I changed it to:

if ($currentuser
 // or $user->maildisplay == 1
  or has_capability('moodle/course:useremail', $context)
 //or ($user->maildisplay == 2 and enrol_sharing_course($user, $USER))
 ){
    print_row(get_string("email").":", obfuscate_mailto($user->email, ''));
}

This seems to stop the email address from showing on the 'view profile' page to anyone except admins.

Lastly I changed the file user/editlib.php from:

  $choices = array();
    $choices['0'] = get_string('emaildisplayno');
    $choices['1'] = get_string('emaildisplayyes');
    $choices['2'] = get_string('emaildisplaycourse');
    $mform->addElement('select', 'maildisplay', get_string('emaildisplay'), $choices);
    $mform->setDefault('maildisplay', 2);

to:

  $choices = array();
    $choices['0'] = get_string('emaildisplayno');
    //$choices['1'] = get_string('emaildisplayyes');
    //$choices['2'] = get_string('emaildisplaycourse');
    $mform->addElement('select', 'maildisplay', get_string('emaildisplay'), $choices);
    $mform->setDefault('maildisplay', 0);

Now learners will only be able to see the setting of 'hide my email address from everyone' when editing their profile.

So changing those three files seems to solve my problem of hiding email addresses from other learners. Can anyone else confirm this has worked for them, or something better that does this?

Thanks

Hi nency

You have already your email hidden here at moodle.org. Go to your profile settings page and have a look at the 'Email display' setting. You can use the same setting in Moodle 1.9

Just to clarify: I can give you the URL to modify your profile, I do not have permission to enter the page.

This is a very interesting discussion. I would like to get students' email addresses hidden, but also, when they participate on forums, and e-mails are sent to other members, they shouldn't be able to see each e-mail address. Any way how we can work this out in Moodle 2.2?
