Hello,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. I am really sorry but unfortunately that is not possible currently The entire privacy structure has to respect the user's privacy and it's not possible to customize that now.

Ok... could you by chance point me in the direction of the correct files to edit to make it post badges always from the admin account instead of the user who earned the badge then?

Hello,

There's actually a couple of file's that are responsible because views are calling the models to retrieve the data from the database but you can't directly modify the model file because that will just mess everything up since it's shared on the back end as well.

The view file is located in /components/com_easysocial/views/badges/view.html.php

The model file is located in /administrator/components/com_easysocial/models/badges.php

I am starting to notice a much bigger issue with the privacy settings. Admins should be able to see everything on the site, and currently they can not. If someone makes a friends only post, and the admin is not on their friends list it does not show up. There is a long list of reasons why an admin should be exempt from privacy rules.

Hello,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply. Regarding your issue, I've fixed internally and attached is the updated file to address this issue. Download the php file 'stream.php' and copy the file to folder 'JOOMLA/administrator/components/com_easysocial/models/' and overwrite the existing stream.php file. Remember to backup the original file first before you overwrite with this modified version.

The fix will be added into next release of EasySocial as well

Hope this help and have a nice day
