How to display user email for all registered members

Support
1

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.
In other words, every member could read an other member email addess from the link :
https://meta.discourse.org/{user}/summary

I tried to modify the file user.hbs, but it seems that only admins have an access to email addresses data.
Is there a way to open the data not only for admins ?

Many thanks for you help,

Richard

Hey Richard,

The easiest way is to setup an custom field for that.

Searching the check_emails and can_check_emails? method in source then override it.

But make emails address publicly really a good idea?

When you update the source, then the edits are gone. not an good idea.

Just don’t make them fully public or they will leak to all the crawlers and goodness knows who else!

Thank you all for your help !
Best solution is indeed to create a custom field, thank you Gavin. :wink:

Here is the reason why I need to display email addresses for every members :
The Discourse forum on which I’m working is designed for my school network.
The goal is to create a community for graduates and non-graduates people.
Thus, displaying email addresses is a good way to share useful information.

Hawn -> just because I’m too curious. How could I have modified the file user_guardian.rb in which the method can_check_emails is stored ?

I know it is possible to modify templates such as .hbs files with plugin-outlet.
But it seems the following script is only designed for template, and not for .rb files :

<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="/connectors/PLUGIN-OUTLET-NAME/UNIQUE-NAME">

</script>

Many thanks,

Richard
