Hi User,

The privacy feature can be disabled at Settings>General>General>Enable Privacy.

If you do not want to completely disable privacy(eg still allow posts with privacy), then you have to configure which privacy you want to allow users to configure at EasySocial's privacy listing at the backend as follows.

1. Head to profile type->privacy, select 'everyone' on desired rules, tick the checkbox on top and save. This will reset all users privacy to the default ones here.
2. Head to privacy listing and unpublish the privacy rules which you do not want users to edit.

Hi, Raymond.
At the moment I would like to allow user change privacy types: profiles, points, friends, achievements, followers.

And I'd like to disallow users change privacy types: videos, albums, photos etc. So videos, albums, photos, stream items should be visible for all.

2. Head to privacy listing and unpublish the privacy rules which you do not want users to edit.

So I enabled at Settings > General > General > Enable Privacy.
And disabled few rules at EasySocial backend > Privacy.

But users still can post content and chose any privacy. Users just can't see this in profile settings.
Also users still can change albums, videos privacy. But I disabled "Who can view my videos" and "Who can view my albums".

Thanks.

Hey User,

But users still can post content and chose any privacy.

It is possible to use template override to remove the privacy button(attached) if you are not using it for any purpose.

Basically you have to template override the following files and remove the corresponding codes that displays the privacy button:
JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/privacy/form.php
JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/story/default.php

Try it out and let us know how it goes.

Hello. It helped But as result users can’t set privacy to fields in profile (birthday, city)

Also users ask, what does mean “Who can view my standard items“ core privacy? How it works? This core privacy can’t be disabled in backend.

Thanks.

Hey User,

Hello. It helped But as result users can’t set privacy to fields in profile (birthday, city)

If that's the case, you cannot use the template override method on ../privacy/form.php.

Instead, another method you can use is custom css to hide the privacy buttons for video/audio/albums/photos, and on all stream items below.

#es.layout-form .es-privacy, #es .es-stream-meta-footer .es-privacy, #es.view-photos.layout-item .es-privacy, #es.view-photos.layout-form .es-privacy, #es.view-albums.layout-item .es-privacy {

	display: none;

}

The custom css above will not affect the privacy buttons on profile custom fields. Let us know if the custom css is hiding something else other than the above.

Hello. Thanks, it helps if add few more:

#es.layout-form .es-privacy, #es .es-stream-meta-footer .es-privacy, #es.view-photos.layout-item .es-privacy, #es.view-photos.layout-form .es-privacy, #es.view-albums.layout-item .es-privacy,

.es-album-interaction .es-action-privacy, .es-album-privacy, .es-photo-privacy,

.view-videos .es-privacy-cf,

.es-story-privacy{

display: none !important;

}

Also users ask, what does mean “Who can view my standard items“ core privacy? How it works? This core privacy can’t be disabled in backend.

Other miscellaneous privacy settings for the site.

Hey User,

Also users ask, what does mean “Who can view my standard items“ core privacy? How it works? This core privacy can’t be disabled in backend.

This privacy is something like a standard privacy for all items. It is usually checked when certain privacy rules do not exist on the site, or when certain elements do not have their own privacy rule.

If you want to force this rule to 'Everyone', you can reset the rule from profile type. Then either use custom css to hide it from the privacy edit page, or remove the Registered Users, My Friends, Only Me options from the privacy table in database.

Then either use custom css to hide it from the privacy edit page

Hi. Can you please help with it? I tried some values but didn't get sucked Thanks.

.o-tabs.o-tabs--stacked [data-type="core"]

.o-tabs__item [data-type="core"]

.o-tabs__item [data-es-privacy-item data-type="core"]

Hey User,

You may try the following to hide the 'System' tab in profile edit privacy page.

#es.layout-editPrivacysocial .o-tabs__item[data-type="core"] {

    display: none;

}
