No consideration of user default value 'maildisplay'

[werwiewas]

Hi,

the default value of 'maildisplay' for the users you can state here:
Users > User default preferences > Email display
If you create a new user this value usually written in the database.

But this value is ignored by 'auth_emailadmin'.

Moodle 4.0.4
auth_emailadmin 1.4.6

Hi @werwiewas , could you describe what behavior you expected vs what you're experiencing?

Hi @hirmhari,

... I try to explain ...

Only info, one of these values you can choose for 'maildisplay'
[
0 => Hide my email address from non-privileged users
1 => Allow everyone to see my email address
2 => Allow only other course participants to see my email address
]

Go to
Users > User default preferences > Email display
and choose for value 'defaultpreference_maildisplay':
0 => Hide my email address from non-privileged users

Go to
Plugins > Authentication > Manage Authentication
and choose for self-registration Plugin 'auth_email' (instead of 'auth_emailadmin')

Create a new user with the self-registration formular (= auth_email).

Login as administratur and call the edit formular of the new user.
The preselected value for the field 'Email display' is 'Hide my email address from non-privileged users'
CORRECT!

WRONG!
I would expect the value 'Hide my email address from non-privileged users'
