Hi there,

We have a site that is a Registered Users only website. Users can ONLY be added by another registered user, there is no need for front end registration at all, and so we have deactivated Registration through EasySocial in the settings. Our issue is that we are using the native joomla login module to login to the site. Everything works fine as long as a user session does not run out or if he Logs out himself. However, when a user leaves his computer, and the session times out an EasySocial default login box pops up. We need this feature removed. All automatic logouts need to be redirected to '/index.php/log-in-with-your-credentials' - with no exceptions anywhere on the site. How can we quickly go about removing this feature?

We cannot provide access to the site unfortunately.
Hey there,

Do you mean that you want it to redirect to the page that you want directly?

If yes,

For easysocial.php which is at JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/easysocial.php, you need to insert the following PHP code which is at line 885:


$ajax->redirect("http://google.com");


For site.php which is at JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/ajax/adapters/site.php, you need to insert the following PHP code which is at line 41:


$this->ajax->redirect("http://google.com");


Take note that you need to do a backup for the both modified files so that you can paste it back after you update to the next version.

Remember to replace the URL with the URL that you want.

Can you have a try and see how it goes?

Hey there,

There is no setting to do that but you can modify the easysocial.php and site.php file.

For easysocial.php which is at JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/easysocial.php, you need to remove the following PHP code which is at line 885:


$ajax->script('EasySocial.login();');


For site.php which is at JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/ajax/adapters/site.php, you need to remove the following PHP code which is at line 41:


$this->ajax->script('EasySocial.login();');


Take note that you need to do a backup for the both modified files so that you can paste it back after you update to the next version.

Thank you for your really prompt reply! I will discuss with my group and let you know how it goes. Quick question - is there a way to code the default trigger for the pop-up box to redirect to our logout page and bypass it altogether? I hope that makes sense...

Hi Irwin, I have implemented the changes and so far so good, I think it is working as expected but sometimes behavior pops up so time will tell! One question that I find strange is that I showing 2 update buttons on the profile form? I do not remember it being there before so wondering if you've seen this? What might I have changed?

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

That is known issue, can you download my attached file and replace into this JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/profile/edit/default.php and see how it goes.

By the way, it would be best if you can start a new thread on our forum with your different issue, it will help other moderator easier to follow up your current issue.

Thanks for understanding.
