How to turn off user options?

[bdkennedy1]

Choice is good.  But in some cases, too much is too confusing.

I would like to keep a consistent user interface, so is there any way to keep users from changing their Options such as themes and css styles?

Thanks!

If enforced settings use standard SquirrelMail option widgets, they will be hidden from end user.

Make sure you customize the data/default_pref file with your "preferred
default settings". This file will be copied to username.pref for every new
user you create and any user that logs in who doesn't have a pref file in
the data directory. So if you want existing users options reset, delete
their pref file and they will get the default_pref options next time they
login.

To prevent them from changing their options, you could comment out the
following lines in functions/page_header.php

          //  displayInternalLink ('src/options.php',
_("Options"));          //  echo "  \n";

This will remove the Options link from the page.

You should use the Forced Prefs plugin or the Login Manager plugin to
determine what options should be shown in the interface instead of
hacking the source code.
