Hey Joao,

I am sorry but I'm afraid it is not possible to achieve this even with some hack on the easysocial code.

Hi Ezrul,

not possible even with hack code..? How come? Sorry but i cannot accept that answer.

I just need to know..where the 2 Core albuns are asssigned (Avatar Photos and Cover Photos) when a user subscribes to the site. Please guide me to the correct file...and from there...i will do the rest.

Hi guys,

this is just an update to inform that i already have accomplished what i needed. (and i have one more question regarding the new version ES 1.4)

I just had to alter 3 files in 3 specifc places.

com_easysocial\media\com_easysocial\apps\fields\user\cover\cover.php
->> i created a new function which evokes a function in the helper.php

com_easysocial\media\com_easysocial\apps\fields\user\cover\helper.php
->> in here i instanciate a Album Model and evoke the getDefaultAlbum function

com_easysocial\com_easysocial_administrator\models\albums.php
->> in here i define a new type of album and set a title and a description

And that's it... the saveCover function in the cover.php creates automaticly the new album for each user that registers


Although this can be improved, for now its ok. My question is... since i altered this 3 core files...whenever i upgrade ES this files will be overrided... how can i prevent the override?

Hello Joao,

I'm sorry but you can't prevent override those file. You can only prevent override if it is a theme files by using this method: http://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/administrators/templating/template-overrides
