Hello,

1) Posting Joomla article as a link is missing article thumbnail image.

Note: "Person is reading article" and "Person updated article" correctly includes article image for Joomla articles.
Note 2: External article links include article images.

2) How can users edit stream activity once posted? (I only see an option to delete.)

3) "Reading article / updating article" functions - Is it possible to include an alert for 'article featured?'
Note: Users don't want to share when they've created, updated, or read an article for privacy reasons.
*Users DO want an alert for when a new article has been featured. (Joomla star featured.)

4) New User approval - Is it possible to not require approval for new user registration?

Thank you!
Hi Meagen,

bSmartGuide.com Joomla article example: http://www.bsmartguide.com/learn/culture-2/1498-beautiful-ballads-lady-gaga-s-tribute-to-joanne.html (Missing image. 'Reading / Update article DOES include image.)

External article example: http://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a19510/nasty-woman-shirt-planned-parenthood/ (Not missing image)

Based link given, it seems that bSMartGuide.com does not contain any "og:image" tag for our ES to crawl into that site to fetch the images on those link. As you can see here http://screencast.com/t/eB5ZGy57JwL , there are no "og:image" tag but if you look on harpersbazaar.com http://screencast.com/t/ENSOlEl4Gn2, it got their "og:image" in order for ES to fetch the image.

******How much would it cost to pay for this customization? People like to edit their status updates.

I am afraid that i have miss-understand your requirement above. People can edit their stream. This issues has been fixed on our latest version, Maybe you can update them to latest version and see how it goes.

******I mean 'stream posting' like Reading / Update article. Can an article populate in the stream like 'Reading article' when we feature it in Joomla? We don't want to share the article prior to featuring it because we might still be editing it.

You can achieved that by going to backend>Components>EasySocial>Applications>Articles(*user) as shown http://screencast.com/t/yoDTuHykEP and enabled "Updates Article" and "Read Article"

Hope this helps

Hi there,

Please find your enquiries below.

1) Posting Joomla article as a link is missing article thumbnail image.
Note: "Person is reading article" and "Person updated article" correctly includes article image for Joomla articles.
Note 2: External article links include article images.

Can you provide us with those link you mentioned above?

2) How can users edit stream activity once posted? (I only see an option to delete.)

Unfortunately, we can achieved that currently as those stream purpose only to share what we do in other components only but having said that, maybe you can voice out this feature at https://stackideas.com/voices

3) "Reading article / updating article" functions - Is it possible to include an alert for 'article featured?'

Actually, i'm a bit lost here. What did you meant by alert? Is it system/email notifications? or did you meant stream like Reading/update articles in ES?


4) New User approval - Is it possible to not require approval for new user registration?
You can changed them under Backend>Components>EasySocial>Profile Types>General>Registration as shown http://screencast.com/t/xzdlUzK6L

Please advice
