Hi,

I need to be able to keep Jomsocial Group Blogs private - to only be viewed by Group members. At the moment when a member of a group creates a blog entry in a Private Group, it is displayed as 'site wide'. In the Publishing options Site wide is set by default, with no option to just select Group only.

How do I switch site-wide off, or at least make the blog only viewable to members of my Group?
Hello Mel,

As long as you select a group, it will be perfectly fine EasyBlog will perform some checks internally to only allow members of the group access to the blog post.

Hi Mark,

Hi Mark,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Can you please provide us with the FTP access as well?

Hi Mark,

it seems to be working now - I am assuming you did this?

Many thanks

Hello Mel,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Hm, that's odd as I haven't made any changes on the site yet.

Hi Mark,

sorry for not responding to your last message. It seems to be fine. Just one question. That radio button that says site wide, should there be an option to deselect it? I just have the one radio which is by default selected, and no option to deselect. What does site-wide actually do?

I think my problem was that I hadn't selected the actual Group under site -wide. I thought it did this automatically.

Hello Mel,

We have actually altered the group selection of JomSocial to be in a dropdown so once a group is selected, you don't have to worry about the "site wide" option
