Not sure if the following supposed to be or not, so I would like to clarify that and maybe get it changed in a further version:

I disabled some features in easy social:
- Friends
- conversation
- ...

But if a user edit his profile he still can see the options and can manage the notifications for them. So some of my users started to ask how the friends and conversation feature works and wrote postings that its not working.

So can we please hide the notification options in the profile if the feature is disabled for the whole side? It do not make sense to show something which can be configured by the user which is fully disabled by the administrator.

thanks
We have been struggling with these kind of settings because turning off the option isn't difficult at all but it gets really tricky when it comes to these "notification" or "privacy" settings because these rules are stored in the database and it is pretty generic.

I guess the only real way to solve this is to either hardcode this in the notification / privacy settings page. I have logged this into our internal issue tracker and we'll see what we can do about this in 2.1.0

ok I see. Maybe it would be easier to "hide" these options via CSS? I do not know your solution in details, but maybe you could add unique IDs to these options and then use a PHP generated CSS block to select this IDs and put them to a hidden state based on the settings done in the configuration. Then the options are still in the HTML code, but the CSS option will ensure that they aren´t show to the users. I mean most users will not check the HTML code for features they aren´t supposed to know :-P. As long as this do not cause security issues I think this might be an option to offer the users only options to features which are enabled.

That is one of the possibility but the id column is pretty dynamic and there's really no way to fix the id.
