匿名ユーザーの名前とユーザー名だけを隠す方法

We have a new forum from migrated content (with several years of conversations) and are struggling with how to balance public visibility with privacy.

Can we hide all user names / usernames unless people are logged in? In other words, all messages content is visible and indexed on the web, but but to see any names or usernames, a person must be a logged in member?

Our logins come from an SSO which requires real, full names. Usernames were auto-generated using their real names during the initial migration of our old content. So turning off “full name” doesn’t address the central privacy issue of exposing everyone’s names to the internet.

I have seen a few examples online of forums where user profiles are not visible unless a person is logged in, but I don’t think I’ve seen examples like what I described above. And at any rate, I haven’t seen the admin setting that would allow even this. Update: I found this particular setting, but it doesn’t affect the primary aim of hiding usernames and names.

It might be possible to have a plugin that would change the username in the user and topic and post models for anonymous users. It would be tricky to do it without breaking stuff. Also, quotes that mentioned users would either include their names or also need to be modified. If it’s worth $2000 to $5000 to you post in Marketplace.

You could hide stuff with css but it would still be there and that wouldn’t keep crawlers from seeing the names.

Given that your sso forces you to use names you consider private you’ve got a hard-to-solve problem.

Thanks for the info. I was afraid that would be the case! Yes it’s a bit unfortunate how the SSO integration went for us, but this is the situation we’re in now for better or worse.

Hi,

I was looking for something similar as it is good to benefit from the public forum features while staying private :

-For user names

There is a plugin though but I haven’t tested it yet Always-Anonymous Categories Plugin - #42 by joo

-For full names

From what I understand, you can hide full names but only for everyone except admins with the setting : enable_names

This discussion here is interesting as the following user looks to be working on implementing a per group visibility of the full name feature : Disabling "enable names" makes admin act strange - #40 by mdoggydog

Don’t hesitate to udpate if you find an update on this feature or if a plugin is published. And by the way if you are looking to improve pricacy, this hidden setting is useful to prevent searches from anonymous users

I think OP was referring to the fact that the username would be their actual name, and I believe no names, which can be changed by users themselves.

im not sure, but anyway, we’ll see if op comes back here with an update on its situation if it still exist. Theis help me to discover a new plugin to hide usernames in certain categories, so I am happy that he opened this thread :slight_smile:
