The Page privacy is actually based on the Page type, e.g.

public - when the user post something in this public page, everyone can able to see.
private - when the user post something in this private page, only page member can able to see.
invite - when the user post something in this invite page, only page member can able to see.

Hi Arlex,

I understand that. Privacy should determine who has access to and can find the page only.

The issue is, post on public pages filter into all types of users newsfeed. Public pages posts ought to be visible when you navigate to the page right?

If i create a public page and post from the page wall, all users on our site see the post in their newsfeed. Pages shouldn't do that.

Shouldn't it be people who accept invite to a private/invite only page or people who like a public page that should get newsfeed of page activities?

It seems like i misunderstand your question in earlier, can you check my following explanation and see whether i understand your question correctly?

1. If user A submitted a new story post in the Page (public type), all other user (not like the Page yet) can able to see this story post from the dashboard (news feed http://take.ms/yN2zs) area and user A profile page timeline wall (http://take.ms/twX50)?

2. If user A submitted a new story post in the Page (private/invite only type), all other user (not like the Page yet) can able to see this story post from the dashboard (news feed) area and user A profile page timeline wall?

By the way, by default if the Page is under public type, whoever submit a story post in this public Page, everyone will see this story post on the site.

If the page is under private/invite only type, those user who liked that Page then only can able to view these story post.

If I still misunderstand your question, perhaps you can show us one of the example from your site, so I can take a look of this.

Hi Arlex,

I'm referring to page owner's posts filtering as newsfeed site wide, not access to the page or the feeds

Imagine i create a public page on Facebook, when I post on my public page wall, not all the users on Facebook see my stream even though they can find my page and view my posts. This is what i want to achieve.

At the moment, all 12k+ users on our site get newsfeed activity generated when any public page posts a comment. (with Facebook you only get a stream on your personal newsfeed if you like that public page)

So the question is one sentence is, Is there anyway to get Public pages posts to show as newsfeed only to users who like the page on Easysocial?

See screenshot - A public post is filtering on all 12k+ users newsfeed. This is not screenshot of Page but of User's Homepage.

Hey there,

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

Thanks for took your time to explained this again, unfortunately that was not possible to achieve this at this point of time.

If you really want this behaviour only specific on your site, you can apply this following custom code into this file -> JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/cluster/cluster.php

		// Only show those Page stream item in the dashboard if the current logged in user is member

		if (($this->isOpen() && $this->cluster_type == SOCIAL_TYPE_PAGE) && !$this->isMember($user->id)) {

			return false;

		}

You can refer on my attached screenshot below which function and which line you have to put above code into your site.
