Is there a simple way to hide the option of the "everyone" feed? I'd like the option to make it more private.

or in the future updates a option to allow the everyone feeds.
Hi,

I'm sorry but currently it is not possible.

Steven, if you want you can modify the theme file /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/dashboard/sidebar.feeds.php and remove the codes below,


<li class="<?php echo $filter == 'everyone' ? ' active' : '';?>"
data-dashboardSidebar-menu
data-dashboardFeeds-item
data-type="everyone"
data-id=""
data-url="<?php echo FRoute::dashboard( array( 'type' => 'everyone' ) );?>"
data-title="<?php echo $this->html( 'string.escape' , $this->my->getName() ) . ' - ' . JText::_( 'COM_EASYSOCIAL_DASHBOARD_FEED_DASHBOARD_EVERYONE' , true ); ?>"
>
<a href="javascript:void(0);">
<i class="ies-earth mr-5"></i> <?php echo JText::_( 'COM_EASYSOCIAL_DASHBOARD_SIDEBAR_NEWSFEEDS_EVERYONE' );?>
<div class="label label-notification pull-right mr-20" data-stream-counter-everyone>0</div>
</a>
</li>

There seems to be a lot of requests to hide certain feeds.

Personally I am proposing the idea of a feed manager. This could allow the admin to publish, unpublish, move a feed up or down (for example, "Following" could be above if the admin wanted), or create their own custom feed (on the admin side). This would open up the possibility of showing a feed for articles from all the users you are following. How cool would that be? Same for forum posts and various other activities. When groups are out, this idea could even allow a feed filter to view posts from all the groups that person is in! This would definitely be utilizing the power of filtering to bring relevant content to the user.

I attached a screen shot showing how it could look like to the user (minus the duplicate icons).

Thanks you so much mark, you are my hero of the internet! If I cut it when a new update rolls out should I put the code back, update, then remove it again?

You are most welcome Steven. Yep, that's correct I will try to see if we can get this in the theme settings so you don't have to modify it all the time.

Hello Greg,

If you are on 1.2.0 you should notice a new option in the theme settings as shown here, http://screencast.com/t/62d2ypDlQ3s . This allows you to hide the "Everyone" filter.
