Hello people from stackideas

We have been using the Easyblog extension for quite a while now and we are very happy with it. But we are having a couple of problems. We would like to remove the option to be able to edit your blog messages on the frontend.

Is there any way to remove this or disable this rather in the backend or PHP or anything?

For some more clearance on what I want removed/disabled you can see the attachments

Hope to hear from you soon!
Hello Christian.

You can hide this editor by adding this css code in custom.css or template.css file.

#ezblog-body .blog-admin > a {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border: 0;
}


Hope this help

Hello !

Thanks a lot this definetly helps us a lot!
I'm sorry to be asking another question upon this one, but our problem was that we dont want non-logged in users to see this button.
Is it possible to only make this button visible to logged in users?

Kind regards!

Hello Christian.

May I know did you enable this option in Easyblog > ACL > public? http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-06-02_1916.png

If yes, tried disabled this option

Hello there!

This option is disabled on both Public and on Guest. That's why we are so confused. Could this perhaps be a bug?
We had already tried this a while back!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello Christian.

Can you provide us with joomla backend and FTP access so we can check on the issue directly?

Hello!

We're verry sorry, we cannot give away our FTP not even a temporary one because we literally have many of our websites on that same FTP. We dont wish to risk anything,

We could however give you temporary acces to our Joomla backend?

Could we send it to your personal email because we are not comfortable with putting it online.
Or you can maybe use teamviewer to check this problem out that way.

Kind regards,

Hello Christian.

You can put the temporary access to your Joomla backend in Site Details. Only stackideas team can see it

Hello!

I sent you the site details within this post.
If this doesn't workout maybe we can put some custom php in the template to disable the button for public users or does that not work?:

maybe something like this?:
<?php
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
if( !$user->guest ) ?>
<style type="text/css">
.blog-admin { display:none; }
</style>
else
<style type="text/css">
.blog-admin { display:inline; }
</style>
<?php endif; ?>

Looking forward to hearing from you!

kind regards

Hello Christian,

I've checked your global permission setting and it seems like you have set "public" user group to have super user permission as you can see from my screenshot here, http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-06-03_2033.png . Hence it will ignore any permission set by the components in joomla. Unfortunately when I tried to change it, the permission error as you can see from the screenshot is shown.

Perhaps you can contact joomla on how to revert back the super user permission for your case or apply the code hack that you suggest to hide the button for public user. Sorry but nothing we can do to help here.
