Dear Discourse Community, I am trying to give a public access to all user email addresses. To be more precise, I would like that every registered member (not only admins) would have an access to a user email address from its member card.

But it seems the following script is only designed for template, and not for .rb files : Many thanks, Richard

Dear Robert, I don’t want to make them public, but only visible for members. :wink:

Overriding an instance method class ::TopicQuery module BabbleDefaultResults def default_results(options={}) super(options).where('archetype <> ?', Archetype.chat) end end prepend BabbleDefaultResults end Here I’m removing chat topics from an instance method which is returning a list of topics.
