Hey Juz,

Why would you want to do that eh? This is just a "visibility" option and it doesn't actually mean send a message to every registered user

Hi Mark,

It most definitely is more than simply a cosmetic feature... I just tried it and a registered member could simply type in a message and choose that option (Share -> registered members) and the message was broadcast to all members. Other members can see the message in their stream under "Everyone".

That's one feature we don't want. Else we could potentially have a lot of spammers etc.

Cheers!

Hey Juz,

This is actually what a stream is all about What you can do is to disable the "Everyone" filter. This way, you can only see stream items from your friends

You can turn this off in the Themes settings

Hi Mark,

Appreciate your prompt response. Our use-case actually requires "Everyone" stream filter. In fact, that's our default stream. Reason being a member in our network is a part of several closed-user groups. Using "Everyone" filter, she is able to get all updates from different groups all flow into the default stream. So disabling "Everyone" is perhaps not the best option for us. At the very least, can we disable the menu item Share -> Registered Users.

We don't see such an option in several other social networks. Why would we want to keep this?

Appreciate your help.

Cheers!

Hi Juz,

Currently there is no quick setting to achieve this. If you want to disable "registered users" option from the privacy dropdown menu, you can download the attachment below and place it inside your /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/privacy/ folder and see how it goes.

Hi Ezrul,

Thanks for your response. Pls. refer attachment. I'm referring to the option of sending messages to "Registered Users" under Share. In this example, one may not see the message as "Everyone" is removed. However we need "Everyone" filter. How can we disable/ remove "Registered Users" as option appearing under Share drop-down?

Thanks.

Hey Juz,

Go to EasySocial > Privacy and click on "Who can view my story ". Then, set the default value there first. Then, download and upload the attached file into /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/privacy/

Hi Juz,

You are most welcome.
Have a nice day!
