Some of my board users suggested that a user should NOT be permitted to increase his "Profile views" by viewing HIS profile (although I wonder who could be so vain to care about his profile views).
By checking the code, I think this can be achieved by adding the line in admin/applications/members/modules_public/profile/view.php:

if ( $member['member_id'] != $this->memberData['member_id'] )

before:

$this->DB->insert( 'profile_portal_views', array( 'views_member_id' => $member['member_id'] ), true );

Do you agree? If so, IPB could consider adding a setting to allow this change without having to modify the code.

You could just disable the task to save having to edit anything :)

..but the problem is they WANT to see profile views, they just don't want members to be able to increase their own profile views.

I thought it did not count their own views anyway, I remember (I think back on 2.3.x) there was something to stop that (it did not count an 'owner' view) :) , if they are increasing with owner views I'd suggest a bug report so a developer can decide if its an omission or working as intended.

I agree!

This user has 7100 views and he boost it by pressing F5 lol

Right on the main page of a profile. :)

*OUCH*

Who can read, has a lot of advantages....

THX!

How do I disable profile views, not able to find the setting in the ACP?

There's no provision to turn off just the profile views. You'd have to edit the skin to remove the display of that field.

Or did you mean you want to disable the entire profile page from viewing?

Either way, please ask that question in an appropriate area of the forum, or file a ticket to support. This is the feedback area.
