Paid [XTR] User Link Control 1.0.2

What is User Link Control?

User Link Control is a professional add-on developed for XenForo 2.3.0+ that controls user profile links (avatar and username) based on permissions. It provides forum administrators with the ability to centrally manage member profile access according to user groups.

Why User Link Control?

Some forums may want to restrict guest users or certain groups from accessing member profiles. User Link Control offers a professional and secure solution to this need:

• No template modifications required
• Works automatically across entire forum
• Integrated with XenForo's native permission system
• Compatible with third-party add-ons
• No performance impact
• Users can always access their own profile

How Does It Work?

User Link Control works by extending XenForo's Template Templater class. During template rendering, user profile links are automatically checked and disabled if permission is denied. This ensures:

• No HTML manipulation
• No layout breaking
• SEO friendly operation
• Safe and stable

Key Features:

• Single Permission System: Simple management with "View member profile links" permission
• Automatic Operation: Automatically active across entire forum
• Own Profile Access: Users can always access their own profile
• Template Independent: No template modifications required
• Add-on Compatible: Compatible with third-party add-ons like ForumStats
• Performant: Works during template render, no extra queries
• SEO Friendly: Safe link disabling using data: URI

Who Is It For?

• Forum administrators who want to restrict guest profile access
• Those who want to give special permissions to certain user groups
• Privacy-focused forums
• Sites seeking professional appearance
• Those looking for third-party add-on compatible solutions
