JomSocial Expired

Hi

Im using JomSocial Profile Pro with jomsocial.

I have three types of users. I now need to modify user to user messages.

Type 1, free none subscription user. Only able to recieve messages and reply to messages instigated by type 3 users.
Type 2, free none subscription user. Only able to recieve messages and reply to messages instigated by type 3 users.
Type 3, subscription users. Able to send and recieve messages to type 1 or 2 users.

I want type one and two users to be only able to recieve messages and reply to messages instigated by type 3 users. They will be unable to start off a message to any other users.

Is this possible? I know I could be able to remove the messaging function all together but I still need type 1 and 2 users to have the ability to reply to messages sentfrom type 3 users.

Just so you know, later in development I will put type 3 users on a subscription, I may limit their messages depending on their payplan.

Thanks
Tom

Hi, Tom.

No this is not possible out of the box. You'll need to hack core files and hire a developer to implement this feature to your system.
www.jomsocial.com/jomsocial-developers

By aware that this will be a huge change so many core files will be hacked. Core hacks are not recommended nor supported as they may not working with future JomSocial releases and/or cause issues that will be not supported. Users with core files hack refuse to upgrade their installation to keep those hacks and they are stuck with outdated and unsupported versions.


- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

- Use the "Thank You" feature on any post that helped you
