Hey,
have you a solution for the problem already?

Would be great to be able to activate EasyDiscuss for the JomSocial-Stream again. But this will only work if I can exclude specific EasyDiscuss-Categories from being posted in the stream ...

I am sorry but unfortunately we have not added this yet.

But it can't be so difficult doing this manually I guess? I don't need a fancy frontend checkbox, only a workaround.

If I look at the helper.php I get:

if(! empty($posts) > 0)

		{

			$model		= JModel::getInstance( 'Posts' , 'EasyDiscussModel' );



			for($i = 0; $i < count($posts); $i++)

			{

				$row =& $posts[$i];



				// Set post owner

				$owner	= DiscussHelper::getTable( 'Profile' );

				$owner->load($row->user_id);



				if ( $row->user_id == 0 )

				{

					$owner->id		= 0;

					$owner->name	= 'Guest';

				}

				else

				{

					$owner->id		= $row->user_id;

					$owner->name	= $owner->getName();

				}

[...]

I guess I only need a second if for checking if the new post has the right category id? But how can I include a category-check into the helper.php?

Hello Sebastian,

Not too sure which version of EasyDiscuss are you currently at but you should be adding the private category checks in /components/com_easydiscuss/helpers/jomsocial.php

The main reason that we don't include it is not that it's difficult to do but it eventually will lead up to more support queries as to why their stream items are not being generated on JomSocial

Ah, thanks. I looked at /plugins/community/easydiscuss/easydiscuss/helpers.php


Hmm, would be great if I had any idea how .php works

I will try things like

			if( $post->category_id == 1 )

		{

			return false;

		}

at random positions in the code, maybe it will do something or even prevent category_id 1 from being displayed. ^^

If anyone has a better plan or even an idea how to change it - I'm looking forward to it
