Hi,

we are running Drupal as an Intranet portal and I would like to make the email address field of our users public, so that everyone is able to see it on the user's page.

How do I do that?

Hi,

implementing hook_user() and adding a new field to the user's view solved this issue:


function mymodule_user($op, &$edit, &$account, $category = NULL) {
  switch ($op) {
  case "view":
    $account->content["mail"] = array("#type" => "user_profile_item",
						     "#title" => "Email",
						     "#value" => l($account->mail, "mailto:".$account->mail),
						     "#attributes" => array("class" => "mail"));
  }
}

Hi,

it would be good to have a separate "view email" permission besides the "administer users" permission.

Hi,

attached is a patch against user.module that introduces the new permission "access mail" and enables viewing of the email address on the user page.

Hi,

attached is the (minimal different) patch against 7.x-dev

I would like to see the new permission to solve issue #315817: Introducing a new permission 'access mail' as Views handles the mail field special.

There are some minor code style issues with this patch. In particular, concatenation operations should be set off with spaces.

And be sure to convert tabs to spaces.

'access mail' => t('Access users' E-mail addresses.'),

I'd rather use t("Access users' E-mail addresses.") here.

That's already to late for 7.x, i guess.

Would this work? I need the functionality, but I'm not an expert Drupal user nor developer.

Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

Thanks!

Version: 11.x-dev » main

Drupal core is now using the main branch as the primary development branch. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted to the main branch.
