Hi Guys,

Group type is mandatory... however, I want to set it by default to invite only so that it can't be changed... however, it seems the option VIEW::appear during registration doesn't exist... prior to mandatory field, that was good but with upgrade I lost that. Any simple fix to add a turn ON/OFF for Group type with default as invite only ? That's something mandatory for our project.

Thanks
Hi Alex,

I am sorry for the late reply.
This is a customization of a core file of EasySocial. This modification will get override once you update EasySocial. You need to backup this file before updating EasySocial to the latest.
Here I have attached to you a file: /media/com_easysocial/apps/fields/group/type/themes/default/content.php

Hope this can help.

Thanks Mohd, this would make all group invite only however.
Wouldn't it be easier to add a visible_registration to the custom field conf (config.json)?

So for one category, i can set visible when registration to off with a default value of 3. What would I need to add to type.xml ?

Hello Alexandre,

I guess it's best that you hide the field for now The changes that you did on the config.json doesn't apply on what's displayed to the user. It's for the administration area only
