Pavel,

I totaly agree with you. I think this is a must-feature to have for a blog component. I also think that the option should be in Front-end editor, too just like Joomla 3. It is not complicated at all! The option to choose viewing access is already there. But it simply does not have either joomla groups or viewing access levels. For me this is a big turn-off for Easyblog.

In fact, this is the main reason I decided not to use Easyblog on one of my websites and to use Joomla articles instead (with Komento for comments, JCE editor for image upload, Attachment for attachment, Readless plug-in for automatically shortening articles in the category view, and finally Acymailing for notifcation). Although it was a bit of work. With these components and plugins with joomla 3, you can achieve this and successfully replace Easyblog!

Don't get me wrong. I still like Easyblog. But I had to do this. I created a different access level for four different committees of an organization and I want some materials to be shared across committees and some shard only among a specific committee members. Right now at the blog level, all you can do is either choosing registered or public! However, native Joomla has excellent viewing access controls allowing me to achieve sharing blogs with either with specific groups or across groups.

If you are interested in what you want to do, the combinations of the components and plugin can replace Easyblog. Thanks!
