Hello,
I'm returning to the development of a site that uses EasySocial and EasyDiscuss after working on other projects.
Since it's the earliest days of EasySocial, I've needed a way to provide groups with private discussions. Now that EasySocial has groups, it's closer to what we need but the discussion mechanism in EasySocial is no where near as good as EasyDiscuss (no ranking for example) so taking EasyDiscuss away from our users and switching them over to group discussions is just not going to work.
So... I'm back to trying to find a way to link EasySocial and EasyDiscuss.
The obvious way seems to be to link the security mechanisms within EasySocial and EasyDiscuss so that, at the very least, I can ensure that group discussions are private. When I did this with JomSocial I used triggers to build a plugin to allow me to add and remove people from Joomla groups as they were added and removed from Jomsocial groups.
I've just tried to do the same with EasySocial but there do not seem to be very many triggers available within EasySocial. In fact I did not see any that allowed me to hook any of the membership services.
Have I missed something? Is the documentation up to date? Is there another way I can hook into the group functionality?
Thanks
Chris
