Remove email from application

[Ashton]

Hi Jon,

is there a way to remove the email part on the application forum post? We are getting some people that are saying they dont want their email public so would be helpful if we had the ability to remove that.

Thanks

[Jon Erickson]

Yeah - no problem.

Hey Jon,

Is there any update on this? We are experiencing the same issues with concerns for publicly scrapable email addresses that are already available on the IPB user account.

Thank you

You can turn off the email block in the personnel settings!

Do you have a link to the documentation for this? We verified we are on the most recent version from the Marketplace and did a test application, the email still shows, and I searched all of the application settings in ACP with no mentions of the email in the application, and we have no "settings" under the personnel section of the sidebar. Thank you for following up

Hi Jon,

In case this helps anyone else, I have identified a workaround to getting to the "personnel settings" by going to the "Marines" menu option, then updating the `controller=` in the URL to `settings`. 

I have scanned those settings and ensured that anything mentioning showing someone's email was disabled.

I then created a new application with a new user and their email is still being posted in the "New Application" forum post as Ashton described.

I'm guessing you guys have manually modified that menu as our menu includes the settings option as below.. I'm resorting to running an SQL script to strip the email part from threads for now.

However, Savage is correct, even after disabling anything to do with email intergration it still displays on the application form.

Thanks

Yes, the email is still posted to the application forum. We can add some settings to disable this functionality but for the time being, you should set the forum to private to protect the data.
