Manage Notifications in ACL

As manager of a property owners association website I allow all registered users to post on the blog. Under Publishing Options it appears that I have control over everything except "Send Notification eMails". Under ACL for Joomla! User Group I cannot prevent users from disabling that feature. Why is that?

I am assuming that if a user answers NO to send notification emails, it overrides what I have setup in Global Settings. I don't want them to have that option.

If I am wrong about this, how do I prevent users from disabling "Send Notification eMails"?
Hello bygdawg,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. You can actually turn this option off for this particular user group in Joomla. You can see the settings here, http://screencast.com/t/OeQALspG7mzC

The image shows ALL ACL options for registered users are DISABLED.

In the overlay image you can see that registered users still have the option to disable/enable "Send Notification Emails."

Hello bygdawg,

Hm, if that's the case that toggle shouldn't appear for that user. Can you please confirm that the user only belongs to the "Registered" group? If the user is only part of the "Registered" group and the group has that option disabled and the toggle is still showing up, please provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue?

I think we are talking about two different toggles. In your first response you tell me how to disable the "Allow Subscriptions" toggle (Change Blog Subscription Settings). My original post is about disabling the "Send Notification Emails" toggle. There is no switch in ACL to disable it. Please see attached image. I will send login info if you still need it.

Hello,

Ah, sorry for the confusions earlier and yes, you are absolutely right. I was referring to the "subscriptions" but the "send notification emails" is not configurable currently. You can remove this by editing the file /components/com_easyblog/themes/dashboard/system/dashboard.write.options.php 



<li>

	<label><?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYBLOG_BLOGS_BLOG_SEND_NOTIFICATION_EMAILS'); ?> :</label>

	<div style="margin-top:4px">

		<?php echo $this->renderCheckbox( 'send_notification_emails' , $send_notification_emails );?>

	</div>

</li>

Thanks for that. It solved my issue.

If you will be making changes to ACL/Toggle coding in the future, you may wish to look at "Display on frontpage". See attachment.
