Hello

As of now, you are able to insert (in a post) photos from your ES albums only they are "personal" albums. It would be great if you could also insert photos from albums you created in groups!

Would it be hard to achieve? In my particular case, users hardly ever create personal albums, they rather create group albums.

Regards

+Feature Request
Hey Altitudes,

Currently it doesn't support that yet and primarily it isn't supporting group albums and event albums is because of the privacy. We do have plans to enhance this in the future though

It does not respect privacy either when you insert photos from your albums (e.g. if you set a photo with privacy = "Only Me" you can still insert this photo). Privacy is not a real issue: since they are your photos anyway (and you certainly have a copy on your computer you can do whatever you want with them.

But I understand that this is an enhancement request (that's why I posted this in "Feature Requests" category
And an option would probably be needed (in Settings > Integrations > EasySocial > Album Integrations) to turn this feature on or off ("Enable group and events albums integration").

Hey Altitudes,

The privacy I mean was actually the ability to see these group albums. Unlike users, you are only dealing with your own albums so if you decide to embed your own private photo, it is perfectly fine as it's your own photos.

However, on groups, albums are contributed by several different users. Some other users might not want their photos to be embedded on the blog post but because you are also the group member, it's going to be tricky.

Yes I admit this is getting a bit tricky and would need some additional settings so that each of your customer can get the behavior he expects.
In my particular case, inserting photos from other users would not be a problem, better than that, it would be nice

If ever you think of improving EasySocial albums integration, don't hesitate to ask me what I would expect as new features!
