Topic: read this if u require profile photo on registration

I wanted to share this as it annoyed me.
I do require a profile photo to be uploaded upon registration, but i noticed some users upload anything just to register then they delete it within their account. i don't want users with no profile photos on my website, so i added into the account_photo.tpl an IF statement to this section:

<li class="remove"><a href="#" onclick="javascript:confirmLink('{lang:"photo","delete?"}', '{top.virtual_path}{delete_link}')" title="{lang:"photo","delete"}">{lang:"photo","delete"}</a></li>

now if you set YES to require photo upload in Registration Settings, the delete button will not show, and it gives sense as profile photo is required.

Re: read this if u require profile photo on registration

lol... i also noticed that some users can still remove their profile photo ! i was like how did they do that ?? then after spending good time on this issue, they could be using the link in the address bar.. coz if u just write delete after that link website.com/account/photo/ so having :
website.com/account/photo/delete it will delete the profile picture.. !!! good to know.. but is there a way to disable that link function ??

Thanks for helping.
