Hi again,

Lately I have been asking this forum about how to remove from the stream;

"Friends" and "Followers"
http://stackideas.com/forums/removing-friends-and-followers

and "Just registered" and "Just Updated Profile"
http://stackideas.com/forums/removing-just-registered-and-just-updated-from-streams

And you have helped me so much!! Im actually starting to realize that I only want to show "Share whats new" and Photos in albums, because once the site starts getting hundreds of new users, the stream will just be inundated with new user information, before they have really become active.

If its ok, can you help me also remove;

1. The badges from public stream (Probably want it on personal profile stream though)
2. Updating the profile picture
3. Updating the cover photo


I know this seems like that is everything, but I just dont want the public stream to be chocablock full of repetitive new user updates. It would be better if it was just "Whats new" stuff and albums.

Thanks for your help as always!

Cheers
Katie

Thanks Mark, I really appreciate it!

I have attached the details below

I really do appreciate it! Im worried though, because when I update, the changes will dissapear

Would you mind emailing them to me at ktbgreat2@yahoo.com.au?

I love ES, but Im worried when hundreds of new users roll in, that the stream will be overflowing with repetitive new user info.

Thanks again Mark,
Katie

Hello Katie,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as I may have missed out this thread earlier. I have applied some hacks in the file /media/com_easysocial/apps/user/photos/photos.php and at line 233 and 244 I have added the code return;

Hi Mark! Sorry to bother you with this again, but Ive just updated and the changes you made have gone now.

I was wondering if you could tell me what changes you made so that I can do it myself next time I update.

Just a reminder, it was to remove;

1. The badges from public stream (Probably want it on personal profile stream though)
2. Updating the profile picture
3. Updating the cover photo

My email is ktbgreat2@yahoo.com.au if you dont want to post it here

Id really appreciate it!

Cheers
Katie

Hello Katie,

Sure, I have re-added them but please understand that we can't customize this for you whenever we release a new version Here's the changes that I have made:


1. To hide badges from stream

Edited the file /media/com_easysocial/apps/user/badges/badges.php and at line 104, added the block of codes below:



return false;



2. Updating the profile picture

Looks like you have already removed this from the file /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/profile/avatar.php


3. Updating the cover photo

Edit the file /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/profile/cover.php and at line 45 remove the codes below:



				<li data-cover-upload-button>

					<a href="javascript:void(0);"><?php echo JText::_("COM_EASYSOCIAL_PHOTOS_UPLOAD_COVER"); ?></a>

				</li>

Hi again Mark!

Ive just noticed that I am actually showing "Updated the profile picture" in members streams and in the community stream. Im not sure what I did last time, or if I changed it... bit confused bout it really :P

Anyways its showing now, and Id love it not to show! Mind giving me a hand with this?

Thanks heaps, and really looking forward to the new update soon. Any chance these stream requests will be able to be done in the update by checking a button in the admin, rather than deleting code?

Cheers
Katie

Hello Katie,

I have commented out line 233 in the file /media/com_easysocial/apps/user/photos/photos.php so that it doesn't generate the stream for profile pictures. We are planning to add these as an application settings so you can define which streams are displayed and which doesn't.

Oh actually, its working fine now. I wonder if it was a cache thing. Oh well, sorry for the trouble, and thanks for helping with the code

Thanks for updating Glad that your issues are resolved now.

By the way, I have also added these options in EasySocial 1.2 so that you can configure this in the apps rather than always requesting us to add these hacks.
