I removed password and username fields because we use smf bridge and it confuses users who think they can change those things in their profile when they actually have to use the smf profile.

In cb.core.php I removed the following lines:
[code:1]
$return .= " <tr>\n";

$return .= " <td class=\"titleCell\">"._UE_UNAME.":</td>\n";

$return .= " <td class=\"fieldCell\">";

IF(($ueConfig["usernameedit"]==1) or ($user->username==""«») or ($ui == 2)) {

$return .= "<input class=\"inputbox\" type=\"text\" size=\"40\" name=\"username\" value=\"".htmlspecialchars($user->username)."\" />";

$return .= getFieldIcons($ui, true,($ueConfig["name_format"]!=1),sprintf( _VALID_AZ09, _UE_UNAME, 2 ) , _UE_UNAME.":"«»);

} else {

$return .= $user->username;

$return .= "<input class=\"inputbox\" type=\"hidden\" name=\"username\" value=\"".htmlspecialchars($user->username)."\" />";

}

$return .= "\n</td>\n</tr>\n";
[/code:1]
and also


[code:1]

$return .= "<tr>\n";

$return .= " <td class=\"titleCell\">"._UE_PASS.":</td>\n";

$return .= " <td class=\"fieldCell\"><input class=\"inputbox\" type=\"password\" size=\"40\" name=\"password\" value=\"\" autocomplete=\"off\" />";

$return .= getFieldIcons($ui, false, false, sprintf( _VALID_AZ09, _UE_PASS, 6 ), _UE_PASS.":"«»);

$return .= "</td>\n</tr>\n";

$return .= "<tr>\n";

$return .= " <td class=\"titleCell\">"._UE_VPASS.":</td>\n";

$return .= " <td class=\"fieldCell\"><input class=\"inputbox\" type=\"password\" size=\"40\" name=\"verifyPass\" autocomplete=\"off\" />";

$return .= getFieldIcons($ui, false, false);

$return .= "</td>\n</tr>\n";
[/code:1]

Everything works fine except that I noticed the save button doesn't work in the backend when trying to modify user profiles. Does anyone know what I could do to get the save button working (besides restoring the original file )

no suggestions

Its not critical but if anyone has any ideas it would be a nice fix as I'm sure other people using smf would also like to get rid of the password options

I used the data base to remove the link...

Not sure how I did it though..lol
It works fine anyway...

lol - I wouldn't have a clue how to go about that!

I see www.elearningforce.dk have been saying they're doing a bridge for joomla/cb/smf so prob may as well wait on that anyway assuming its going to be more comprehensive than the existing ones. They've had it on their list for a long time though so .................
