Hi Julian,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

When I share a new comment inside of an Event, this comment is shown to all registered users but not to guests. No matter if the user is in the Event ... every registered users will see this stream-item.

I believe when you said comment, that is the story updates you shared from your event page Anyway, the event stream privacy actually based on the event type:

Open event - accessible by everyone, including non-registered visitor.
Closed event - accessible by non-guest ( members ) and also registered users.
Invited event -accessible by event guest ( members ) only.

The stream privacy will follow the above rules. Same rule applied to EasySocial group.

When I now add a comment to this item on the steam (on the homepage), this comment is not shown on the stream-item inside of the event. I don´t understand this ... shouldn´t the comment also be shown in the event itself?

Regarding the above, there is an issue with the story event stream when viewing in user dashboard page which causing the comment saved in wrong object group. I've fixed this issue internally and the fix will be added into next release of EasySocial.

For the quick fix, download the attached php file "story.php" and copy the file to folder 'JOOMLA/media/com_easysocial/apps/user/story/' and overwrite the existing story.php file.

The above fix will only affect on new comment posting.

Hope this help and have a nice day

Hi Sam,

thanks for the updated php, it works. Sorry for my late answer, I had such a lot to do.

I would like to come back to the privacy-settings and the sharing of comments for a moment. I think it might make sense to change that a little.

I think, this makes sense for the privacy-settings, but not for the main activity-stream.
When a story-update is posted inside of an even, even inside of an open event, there is no sense in placing that story also into the main stream of activities. It simply does not make sense: The user can go to a group and see the whole stream. So why should it be placed on the main page?

It is a little bit about focusing on the important things. If the user is interested in the event, he can look into the (open) event and see all storie-updates from the event. But why should it be placed on the main-stream?

Same about groups:
Why should "Open Group" lead into "sharing every storie-update"? This is against the sense of a group: The group is public, but it is a "group" so the information shared inside of the group are "grouped". Sharing them everywhere is very confusing for users, that are not inside of the group. And from the other point of view: Members of the group will be confused because they don´t know why the "group-posting" is shown and commented outside of the group.

All the best, Julian!

Hi Julian,

Dashboard is a place for you to 'see' the all the activities generated from your site so that you will not miss any of the new updates This applied to events and groups .

If you do not want the story updates from a public event/group, then you will actually need customise the php file from your user story app. Let me know and I can assist you on 'hiding' these story update stream for your public event/group
