In the stream there is an option to view posts of everyone on the site as well as options for friends and followers. I am wondering how to get rid of the everyone option so that the only posts that come up in the stream for people are from people they follow and people they are friends with (the send a friend request) button.


Thanks
Hello Willem,

I've applied the modification inside your /templates/wanderers/html/com_easysocial/story/default.php and also updating your easysocial component to the latest version. By default now all the story share will only post to friends and followers

Hello Willem.

You can turn off everyone feeds filter at backend. Components > Easysocial > Themes > [default theme] > Dashboard. Here is the screenshot : http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-03-16_1034.png

Hope this help

Hello Willem,

Yes, wanderers is customized and modified to display this by default. You can find the theme overrides in wanderers folder in /templates/wanderers/html/com_easysocial/

What code do I put in to make it so that you can only post to friends and followers, not everybody?

If you are using wanderers, you can remove the codes below from the file /templates/wanderers/html/com_easysocial/dashboard/sidebar.feeds.php


<li class="<?php echo $filter == 'everyone' ? ' active' : '';?>"
data-dashboardSidebar-menu
data-dashboardFeeds-item
data-type="everyone"
data-id=""
data-url="<?php echo FRoute::dashboard( array( 'type' => 'everyone' ) );?>"
data-title="<?php echo $this->html( 'string.escape' , $this->my->getName() ) . ' - ' . JText::_( 'COM_EASYSOCIAL_DASHBOARD_FEED_DASHBOARD_EVERYONE' , true ); ?>"
>
<a href="javascript:void(0);">
<?php echo JText::_( 'COM_EASYSOCIAL_DASHBOARD_SIDEBAR_NEWSFEEDS_EVERYONE' );?>
<div class="label label-notification pull-right mr-20" data-stream-counter-everyone>0</div>
</a>
</li>

What do you mean by removing the option to post to registered users? Do you mean the privacy? When you post into the stream, you are actually not posting to registered users. It basically means that only registered users can see that particular item that you are sharing.

I'm on a mobile device so I cannot reject answer, but when I deleted that part of code on the sidebar that said newsfeed the everybody option was removed but when I go to make a post the everything option is still there. Thanks

Hello Willem,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

Ah I see that you want to remove the privacy option from the story form am I right? If that so you need to do the following step:
1) Go to your backend > easysocial > privacy > find 'Who can view my story' privacy rule and click it > change to "My Friends". Refer screenshot here, http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-03-17_1217.png
2) Next you need to manually edit the code to remove the privacy option from the story form. Go to your /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/story/default.php and delete the following lines of code at line 163:

Hope these help

Hi Willem,

Can you provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can help you check on this?

FTP info (I have tried logging in but it says incorrect password. I think using media manager in joomla backend you can view FTP with the media manager.

Hello Willem,

When I'm trying to access your site backend I'm hitting this error message:
http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-03-19_1034.png

By the way please put your site access in Site Details below to avoid any issue that might cause.
Please advise

Yes on another problem I had, the support had that same issue. When I try to login I don't get that error. I am on a mobile device right now but when I get to my PC I will check in php my admin if the LDAP plugin is enabled.

Hello Willem,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

I am able to access your backend now but I do not have any access to your FTP yet. The joomla media manager only shows the media folder in which the image is stored. Can you provide us with the FTP access or perhaps Cpanel access so that we can access the file manager directly and help you with the issue directly?

Please advise

Hello Willem,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

It seems like whenever I'm trying to change the privacy rule for the story posting to my friends only it does not change the way it should. I also notice that you are using older version of easysocial. Can I have the permission to update your easysoscial to the latest version first and we proceed from there?

Please advise

Sure! The update wasn't working for me though. Just to be clear, I want it to not post to everybody's streams, only your friends and followers.
