Answer 1

Place below code into your theme file. Below code will hide from everywhere

function post_meta_who($post, $class){}

If you want to display on question (view) page than use below code

function post_meta_who($post, $class)
{
    if($this->template == 'question')
        qa_html_theme_base::post_meta_who($post, $class);
}

I have posted code on Gist here https://gist.github.com/q2amarket/8356498

<<<------- Version 1.01 ------->>>

I have modified code as per your need. Now the meta who will be visible on the moderation section to Moderator and higher level users and question view page. It will be hidden rest of the areas.

Get code from Gist: https://gist.github.com/q2amarket/8405467 ( you will find detailed description there)

Or just copy and paste below

function post_meta_who($post, $class)
{ 
    $type = $post['raw']['type'];
    $level  = qa_get_logged_in_level();
    $type_array = array('Q_QUEUED', 'A_QUEUED', 'C_QUEUED');
 
    if($this->template == 'question' || (in_array($type, $type_array) && $level >= QA_USER_LEVEL_MODERATOR))
        qa_html_theme_base::post_meta_who($post, $class);
}

Thank's Jatin.Soni.

I have just one more question please ?

If i want to hide the user/nickname on front page and all pages, this code work perfect. i can not see anymore the user/nickname.

now i get another little problem,
 
if someone ask a question, is also hide. So it's possible to show the user/nickname only when the people ask a question because a add a option in administration to moderate a question, than we i need to approve, i don't know who ask a question.

Thank

Hi Jatin,

I find a small error on the Pixel_n_Grain_Dark_V_D1.1Theme on the line 31 when i add a message in the wall. I think because the user/nickname is hide.


Notice: Undefined index: type in /home/x-xxxxxxxxx/public_html/qa-theme/claude/qa-theme.php on line 31

This is a line 31 :     $type = $post['raw']['type'];

Thanks for reporting issue .... Let me see...

Hi jatin,

i find another issue:

without register or login, you can see all information from the user.

EX: http://www.example.com/?qa=user/"name for user"

than you get an access.

I don't know really if it's an issue, but i would like just protect the user information if you are not register. I think is a good idea.

Thank you

That is different than this hack/issue
