Hello Theodore,

In order to prevent registered user to tag other users in your site you may go to your joomla backend > components > easy social > profile type > privacy > photos > set "Who can tag me in their photos" as only me then checked the check box above shown here in this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/OYKmu6Cc6R4d and save your setting. Once the setting is saved the privacy setting for the "Who can tag me in their photos" will be overridden in the front end setting shown here in this screen shot http://screencast.com/t/pFu1qq5q . You may give it a try

If the check box is not checked, the "Who can tag me in their photos" settings only applied to newly registered user not the existing user. Therefore once it is checked the setting will apply to all user even the existing once.

It's not working. I set all users to Only Me for tagging photos in the front end, back end, defaults, checked all boxes and saved everything. Any user can still tag anybody's photos.

I added site access information so you can sign in and try it for yourself. Feel free to create new users as it's just a test site at this time.

Hello Theodore,

We are unable to access your joomla backend as shown in this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/uqNoGYSk . Could you please unblock or provide the correct joomla backend URL.

Thank You

Oops, sorry about that. Try now

Hello Theodore,

We have enter your joomla admin page and set the photo tagging to only me as shown in this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/lnHmUMzCnUj .

We have also created a test user and added an user called Super User as shown in this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/muHkjxiK .

After that we added a photo and try to tag a friend called super user, the result is, the test user unable to tag a friend shown here in this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/qbxxJaCbVILa .

However, if the user is a super user shown here in this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/XNWyeDyZXntD , therefore he or she could tag anyone in their photo.

You may give it a try now

Thanks for the effort Kheng, but the issues is not about "who can tag me".... it's about "who can tag my photos". No matter how I configure the settings, other members can still tag my photos. I have the privacy setting "Who can tag my photos" set to "Only me", but other members can still tag my photos. I don't want other members tagging my photos at all.

In attachment TagPhotos01 Crash Test Dummy has set privacy to "Who can tag photos" to "Only Me", so other members should not be able to tag his photos.

In attachment TagPhotos02 Ted tagged Crash Test Dummy's photo. Crash Test Dummy does not want people tagging his photos. He is very selfish and antisocial.... he says "These are my photos. You may look, but don't tag them."

The "Tag Photos" tool (TagPhotos02.jpg top, right) should not even be there, because he does not want other members tagging his photos.

If this is not possible, is there an option to disable photo tagging altogether? I know my users... most of them will not like people tagging their photos. This is a very serious matter for me.

Thanks Kheng

I was hoping to allow tagging if the user wants it, but hiding the icon is the best way to go.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks for updating Theodore.
