Hi kelechi kalu,

There is no setting for hide the people in the toolbar, however, you can customize/template override it in the file:
.../components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.php

Hope this help

Hello -

I am looking for the same option to disable "People" in the toolbar. I'd like for all the users of the website to maintain their individual privacy and only be able to see who is a registered user on the website ONLY IF they are viewing users within a group in which they are assigned (a Private EasySocial Group).

I was able to modify the file you referenced above (lines 127 - 134 deleted) about without any issues to achieve the desired results and remove the "People" menu item, BUT... I am concerned that upon updating your component down the road I will need to remember to make this change manually to this core file.

Is there a way to make an override file for the toolbar, so that even if I update the EasySocial component it will maintain my toolbar overrides?

Hey there,

Do you mean that you only want registered users can able to access the User listing page only?

If no, can you explain more in details so that we can have a better understanding of it?

For your information, non-member can't access the private group.

As long as you made changes at its template override location which is at JoomlaFolder/templates/yourCurrentTemplate/html/com_easysocial/toolbar/default.php, you do not need to worry about it.

Take note that you need to create the folders and paste its default.php into it manually if you don't see it.

Thank you, kelechi kalu. I appreciate the response. This is what I did in the core file to remove it for right now, but I am concerned that upon updating the component down the road that I'll forget to go in and manually edit this file - basically adding the People toolbar item back to the toolbar.

Hi Irwin -

Thank you for the quick response. What I am trying to accomplish is to restrict users from being able to see each other unless they are a member of a specific group. Basically, disallow all registered users of the website from being able to see each other as a whole (all users). I only want them to be able to see people that have been assigned to their "group" only, but not individuals from other groups. Does this help and make sense?

In regards to the override for the toolbar, I'll make the override file in my template folder using the link you included below to ensure my changes don't get overridden upon updating the component.

I appreciate the help and feedback very much. This is a great platform and keep up the great work.

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it was a weekend for us here.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve this.

You're most welcome.
