Support,

In the Group section of EasySocial, When you are in a Closed or Private Group.

Right now if you are a member of the group you can invite who ever else you would like to join the group by selecting the [...] icon and then selecting INVITE FRIENDS.

Is there a way to configure the group so only the Moderator can invite members to the group? I can't find that option in the Settings, but maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks
Dan
Hi Dan,

There is no setting that can configure this.

If you really want to, you can limit this option to group admins by template overriding the following theme file to achieve this.
JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/helpers/cover/group.php

Raymond,

Went to put a suggestion on the site for an enhancement to EasySocial Groups and for some reason I can't find the option. I know I've used it in the past.

Would like to make the suggestion that when you create a group in EasySocial you have the option to limit who can invite members to the moderator or all members.

Could you add that or point me to how I can make that suggestion.
Thanks
Dan

Hi there,

Sorry for confussion caused on above reply, as those files pointed out by my colleague is for our newer version, that is on ES v2.1. For ES v2.0, you need to apply those fixes on this path .../components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/groups/item/default.php and copy them to this path /template/html/com_easysocial/groups/item/default.php for template overrides.

I have attached them for you, please give it a try and see how it goes.

Abdul,

Thanks for the response. I could find the first path to default.php that you provided, but for some reason, my system doesn't have the second override path. Or I'm not looking in the correct spot.

My system has a /templates/ <list of all the installed templates> folder, but not a singular /template/ folder, unless I'm not in the correct spot.

I'm using the purity_iii template, so I can go to
/templates/purity_iii/com_easysocial_16-3-2017/ but there isn't a group folder. Do I need to create one?

Thanks for the help. Sorry for the confusion.
Dan

Hey Dan,

Ah, you are supposed to create it if it doesn't exist
