Hello,
I want to disable users from creating events. However, it seems that I'm disabling administrators as well. It would be simply fine if I could create an event from the backed but there I see this message:

Note: Event creation is now only available through the front end of JomSocial.

So what would be the proper way to allow administrators to create events?

Thanks!

Hi.

I'll give you overall instructions. It will be better if you ask professional developer to do customization for you:
www.jomsocial.com/jomsocial-developers

1. You'll need to hide or remove Event button from Postbox. So you'll need to modify this file:
ROOT/components/com_community/templates/default/status.form.php line 254

2. Then you'll need to display create Event button only for certain group (or id maybe?) of users.
Button is here: ROOT/components/com_community/helpers/event.php
(WARNING! Core file hack! Please, make safe copy of edited file. It means also that this file will be overwritten during upgrade, so please make a safe copy of customized file as well)

3. In order to display button only for admins use function described here: docs.joomla.org/JFactory/getUser

Please, notice that we don't support customizations: www.jomsocial.com/support
