Hello Muhanad,

It's not that hard actually but it's tedious I would say. We already have a "file app" for groups but that serves as a "file browser" within a group. Like what you have mentioned, we do have plans to include file support in the story form in the future

Hello Mark,

Yes it's in the groups but having it in the stream serves other need. someone might use easysocial for employees communication or students uploading notes .. etc

since its in your plan , but i doubt its going to be in 1.3 version, my question is, would developers be able to add this feature without hacking the code? is there an app for it?


Regards,

Yes, our story form is developed in this way. In fact if you play with the group's task app, (it's attaching a form on the story)

Hello Mark,

So what you are saying is that the tasks tab in the story form the one the attached image is not in the core group function and it's just an app? so it would be easy for developers to add new options to the story form just like tasks, polls, reviews .. etc ?


Regards,

Yes, exactly The workflow is pretty simple (If you need to elaborate to your developer), in the app you need these logics

1. onPrepareStoryPanel (This is where you tell EasySocial you want to attach a new panel on the story form)
Look at the codes in /media/com_easysocial/apps/group/tasks/tasks.php

2. onBeforeStorySave (This is where you detect the $_POST data and save into your own table)
Look at the codes in /media/com_easysocial/apps/group/tasks/tasks.php

----- Optional if your story post displays a stream item -----

3. onPrepareStream (This is where you manipulate how a stream looks like)
Look at the codes in /media/com_easysocial/apps/group/tasks/tasks.php
