Hi There!

Just a quick question, by any chance is there a way to disable ES's Social Features like Wall/Stream posting? I know I can disable picture upload per Profile. My reason for asking is we have a client that is not ready for Social features yet we need to use the extensible Profile of ES.

Thanks!
Hello,

Hm, unfortunately it's not possible to turn this feature off

thanks for your reply Mark.

Technically if I modify ES theme and carefully hide the Social features, I should be able to do it, right?

I can find the API in the code but I'll ask anyhow, it's just easier What's ES API for validating what Joomla User Group is the current user is or ES Profile?

Thanks!

Hi,

You can try:

Foundry::user( $id )->getUserGroups();

Foundry::user( $id )->getProfile();

The first one will you return the usergroups that is assigned to the user while the second will return you the profile object that is assigned to the user.

Hi Jason , Mark has provided a fix here for group
http://stackideas.com/forums/disable-stream-posting-in-groups

Do you know If it could be possible with Profile Type as I would need to disallow post on stream for all my users that have this default profile type.

Thank you
