Currently administrator of the site is unable to view users private page or content. Personally I think administrator should be able to moderate what goes on the site, private pages and all.
From a legal standpoint its a feature that should have been added to easy social on day one! And why I had to do a bit of re-coding in order to protect myself from people posting illegal content within my testing system where I have easy social on!

Next Task:

Add Clay to Easy Social! (Well my Daughter Copy of Easy Social)

My daughter wanted Easy Social so I brought her the starter kit... after installing it she want the flexibility to move thing around. So I intend to apply Clay to her Copy of Easy Social....

Now what is Clay you ask? Its something I created in order to move things around in JomSocial. It gives a Website owner the freedom to move each part of JomSocial and Easy Social around in order to get the look or layout they want without messing around with Css files.

Secondary benefit of Clay is the freedom it gives my testers. They can shape their profile area the way the way or the way the frontpage welcomes them.

In my daughter own words who wants to look at the same profile layout everyday!

**** I'm Good!

Agreed 100%. How can an administrator administrate if they cannot see the data. If you are the site owner you should have full access to the data.

@Robert good point! You mean Site Administrator should see what Users sees regardless of what privacy a user sets on any of their content. I thought it is by default but if not I'll vote for this if you add this in voices.

I believe there are a couple of options that can be pursued.

  1. Login/masquerade as the user using a plugin such as those listed on the JED. I personally haven't tried any of them, so I cannot recommend any at the moment.
  2. if you want to see what they entered in their profile (custom) fields, you can do so via the backend: Components -> Easysocial -> Users -> [SELECT USER] . (I believe you can see the users activities from the backend as well once you select a user).

Hope this help,
Chaim

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the feedback and the suggestion. We will see if we can quickly add this into EasySocial 1.1 or not or into EasySocial 2.0 so that when site admin access the frontend, no privacy applied to them

Thanks again
Sam

Hi Robert,

I am sorry for late reply.

Regarding this feature, I am sorry but currently 1.1 is already in final stage so any new features will be added into future release of EasySocial. Most likely this feature will be added into version 1.2

Hope this help and have a nice day
Sam

I think this is a critical option. And Site admins should be determined in back-end because, for security issues, you might not use a super user account for everyday work… so just filtering with account type won't do good.
