Hi Antonio,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply.

Currently the only way to add filter is through hashtag function as you can see from my screenshot here, http://screencast.com/t/tCUnm2a4 and it is not possible to create a filter that based on specific user currently.

Hi Ezrul,
thank you for your replay! Just 2 questions:
- Sorry so there is no way to filter infomation also in the back end unsing "stream" and "Privacy" settings?
Why in tha Privacy rules there is Custom filter as example in attached file? What "Custom" means? Where can I configure "Custom"?
- Maybe I can creating a new filter and using tag, there is some documentation about?

Thank you in advance
Antonio

Hi Antonio,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply.

The privacy rule that you mentioned above is for the privacy dropdown default value whenever you compose a status message from the story form. Refer my screenshot here, http://screencast.com/t/JQx0z1ICnVax . This however does not related with custom filter in easysocial.

Maybe I can creating a new filter and using tag, there is some documentation about?

Currently we do not have any documentation for it but we will add it soon. To create a custom filter using tag, you can simply click on the "Add Filter" at the top sidebar in your dashboard and follow the instruction from there. You can refer to my video link here below for a clearer view.

Hope these can clarify the issue.

Hi Ezrul,
thank you very much for your replay!
Using tag if I ceate a filter using admin user the link will be available just for admin.

The goal is possibility to administrator to post a communication that only him can post and all users can see in an particulary link. It is not possible at moment?

Thank you in advance
Antonio

Hi Ezrul,
thank you it seems good but how can I disable possibility to do broadcast announcements for normal user?
I would like that only admin can write post for broadcast filter and all people can use broadcast filter but don't do broadcast communication by using announcement button

Is it possible?

Thank you in advance
Antonio

Hey Antonio,

The "broadcast" feature in EasySocial is only for site administrator's. Normal users will not be able to access this

Hello Mark yes I got it thank you very much for your prompt support

Ciao
Antonio

Hi Antonio,

You are most welcome.

Hi,
I need one page where all users can see only what administrator pubblished.
I know you said there is Announcement functionality but it desappears after the first user check and then I woud like to show administrator communicationation.

How can I have a filter like everyone or Me&Partners where all people can see administrator updates and not other posts? Can I disable all stream for all user for example and use everyone filter to do this?

Thank you
Antonio

Hey Antonio,

Announcements also has a stream filter if the broadcast type is a stream. This would be the best way if you want users to see your announcements using a filter

Hello Mark,
ok but how can I set in order to ONLY administrator updates are visible on the page (and not information that a normal user changed photos for example

I would like to have a page "Recent Update" with only administrator updates, it is possibile?

Thank you
Antonio

I am sorry Antonio but unfortunately it's not possible to set the "Broadcast" as the default filter currently. If what you are trying to achieve is to only allow site admins to post stream updates and everyone else can just see the stream, this is what you can do:

1. Hack the file /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/story/default.php so that only super admins can view this form.

2. Since only the super admin can post updates, you can just rename the "Recent Updates" in the language file to "Admin updates"

Cheers!

Hi Mark,
ok for 1 but for point 2 maybe I did not explain you well waht I need
I need one new page where ONLY administrator updates are visible on the page (and not information that a normal user changed photos for example)

For example clicking on the link everyone you can see all updates, there is a filter that I can use to filter just administration post?

Thank you
Antonio

Unfortunately, we don't have such features currently

But if I will buy EasyBlog do you think I will achieve the goal?
I need one page where only Admin can write and all people can see
Thnak you
Antonio

EasyBlog is a blog and I am not sure how / what you plan to do but yes, you can configure EasyBlog to allow only admins to be able to post blog posts on the site

Hi Mark,
I will try to explain you better
I would like to have inside Easy Social in the Dashboard a page where admin can post news that all users can see

If possible to do this buying EasyBlog and configure it inside EasySocial?
I saw in EasySocial there is a module to integrare with EasyBlog --> "Recent Blog Posts (EasyBlog)"

Thank you
Antonio

Hm, if that is the case I would suggest that you could either go with EasyBlog or EasyDiscuss but I do think EasyDiscuss would make more sense and it would be easier for you too.

1. Create a new post on EasyDiscuss
2. These posts would then appear on "EasyDiscuss" filters (You could rename this)
3. Configure EasyDiscuss so that only admins can post here.

Thnak you Mark!
We would like to use Easy blog because is nice
It is possible?
Thnak you
Antonio

Yes it is possible as well and you just need to configure EasyBlog to allow postings from site admin

Do you have a screen that show how we will see EasyBlog integrated on Easysocial?
Could you please provide me it I have to show to the business
It will be much appreciate
Thank you very much
Antonio
