-AJ- Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 In the Member Search tab under Advanced Search you are displayed a list of all groups. I don't see a built-in way in ACP to prohibit a group from being listed in this search. Since a lot of our secondary groups are for internal use only, we don't really want those group names to be displayed publicly. For example, on this site you have a group name of "-- Staff ACP Access" displaying in the search list. In my opinion, a lot of sites probably have secondary groups that don't need to be publicly known or searched. It'd be great to allow us to restrict group search access without having to make a template change to restrict the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPlanet Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I'd also would like to know if there is any way to hide some groups from the member search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can provide you the template changes I've made if you're interested. I'm not sure if IPS intends to address this or not, but I'm definitely willing to share what I've already done.

PPlanet Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Yes, it should be something that should very well be under "Groups" settings. Exclude group from member list. Just like in previous versions: If IPB does not address that, I hope someone comes with a plugin, but in the meantime instructions for the template changes would be appreciated. Cheers.

TLeM4 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Is anyone still interested in a way to hide chosen groups to be displayed on advanced search ? I've made an export of IPS default template witch I've made some changes allowing to hide chosen groups from admin panel group's settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 4.1.19 will introduce a "hide" group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
