Hi!

Is there any way that I can allow only admins and owner of a group/page to invite new members/followers? I don't want every member to be able to.

Thanks!
Hey there,

Sadly there is no setting for that. You can only change that through code.

For group, you're only able to configure that by chancing the code on file:

Joomla\components\com_easysocial\includes\group\group.php

On line no.1708

[gist type="php"]
if ($user->isSiteAdmin() || $this->isAdmin() || $this->isMember()) {

[/gist]

Replace with

[gist type="php"]
if ($user->isSiteAdmin() || $this->isAdmin()) {

[/gist]


For page, you're only able to configure that by chancing the code on file:

Joomla\components\com_easysocial\includes\page\page.php

On line no.1542

[gist type="php"]
if ($user->isSiteAdmin() || $this->isAdmin() || $this->isMember()) {
[/gist]

Replace with

[gist type="php"]
if ($user->isSiteAdmin() || $this->isAdmin()) {

[/gist]

Hey there,

Yes there's a way to restrict invitation.

For group head to backend -> EasySocial -> Groups -> Choose group -> Change group type according to preference

For pages head to backend -> EasySocial -> Pages -> Choose page -> Change page type according to preference

If there's any further question please ask away.

Hm – can't find an option that does what I want. All options in the screenshots allow any existing member of a group to invite new members. I need to restrict "regular" members of a group/page to invite people. Only those marked as admin or owner of the group should be allowed to.

Possible?
