Hi Meagan,

your site still using jomsocial 3.2.1.6
please edit /components/com_community/libraries/notification.php line 139
change the code from

case 'photos':

case 'photos':
    $sendIt = true;
    break;

Hello Albertus,

I implemented the change, however, it doesn't seem to consistently work. If you look at the group Wake Forest University you'll see that I added a photo using the username Christine Catalano, however no notification was sent out to any other members.

THank you.

Hi Meagan,

give me time for this. I need to inspect it deeply on the code.

Hi Meagan,

really sorry, its a bug at version 3.2.1.6 jomsocial cant provide bug fixes for jomsocial 3.2.1.6 because that version ends the bug fixing for 3.2 series (unless some major security flaw is discovered). The next bug fixes will be for version 4.

FYI:

Hello Albertus,

Can you confirm if this bug is fixed in version 4.x?

Thank You.

Hi Meagan,

the issue has been reported at 4.x and still on developer task queue for bugs fixing.

Hi Albertus,

Jomsocial / Groups: Photo / Video upload does not send an email notification to group participants.

Was this item fixed in the 4.x release?

Thank you,

Meagan

Hi,

this is a bug. and not fixed yet at 4.1.4
I will let you know if the issue has been fixed.

Regards

Thank you, Albertus.

Our group members keep posting photos and videos for other group members to see, but no notification is sent. This is a very critical function for group members.

I noticed that if group member tags other members (@) the notification still does not send with photo / video upload. Sharing photos and videos with notification is very important in social software.

Hi,

here the fix.

I just uploaded it now. Will test today. Will this become part of the core code?
