Hello

How do I force user to add video title?
How do I hide description if No description available?
How do I hive likes and comments?
Hi Leo,
How do I force user to add video title?
Currently this is not possible. The title of the video file will be used when uploading from the story form, unless the user decides to change it. For embedded videos, the title of the video will be used as the title.
How do I hide description if No description available?
This is also not possible unless you hack a core file.
How do I hive likes and comments?
Do you mean hiding them in the video entry page? If yes, you can template override the file JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/videos/item/default.php and remove the codes for likes and comments.

However, users can still like and comment on the video from the stream itself.

Hey Leo,

It is not advisable to edit the file directly as the changes are lost during updates/installation.

You can use the backend template override option as the override file will be automatically created for you in your template.

Also, remember to keep track of your overrides in case the code structure of the original file changes, which means you have to apply the override from the new version's file again.

Hey Leo,

Yes that is correct and it is one way to do it.

What I meant by the system creating the override automatically is actually from editing EasySocial's theme files: http://take.ms/0QtjP

Hi there,

When I remove codes the likes and comments still display: https://thebullyplanet.com/community/videos

Prompted steps provided by my colleague is on different view and you are referring to different view now. By the way, I have applied some fixes at this path .../templates/office/html/com_easysocial/videos/default/item.php and it should not shown now.

Also I’d like to hide title and description from showing to give consistency on look.

I have applied some fixes at this path ...template/office/html/com_easysocial/streams/videos/preview.php and it should not shown on your stream now as you can see here http://take.ms/PjBdU

Please give it a check and see how it goes.
