Hi,

Jomsocial from 3.2.0.1 support uploading video from post box.
This function make my users think that their videos will be auto sharing on activities stream.
Could you guys tell me is that possible to auto sharing and showing on activities stream after uploading a video ?
I also did not see any config for turn off uploading video from postbox.
For quickly, I want turn off this feature to avoid confusing for my users but I did not.
Could you please help me ?

Best regards.

hi Cheryl.

To be honest I'm not sure if uploading video should trigger any activity, I'll ask our developers about it. Also there's no way to disable uploading videos only from postbox, however maybe our javasscript developer will suggest something.

Sorry for my late reply.

I think we should have an option to turn this on or off.


Thank Chris,

Hi, Cheryl.

Uploading a video (no matter if in Videos or Postbox) will add post in activity stream.
It is possible to remove Video button from Postbox:

Copy file: ROOT/components/com_community/templates/default/status.form.php
to ROOT/templates/your-template/html/com_community (if you don't have "html" or "com_community" folders, feel free to create them)

Remove or comment this (line 219):

<li data-tab="video">
        <i class="joms-icon-videocam"></i><span class="visible-desktop"><?php echo JText::_("COM_COMMUNITY_POSTBOX_VIDEO"); ?></span>
      </li>

Sorry for my late reply Michal,

I know what you meant but we also allow user share video by URL.
I only want to visible upload video function on status box.
If you have any suggestion please tell me.

Thank you very much.

Hi, Cheryl.

I think I said too fast that uploaded video will create activity. It seems that after upload videos are in pending category... and after conversion just added to video categories... without any post in activity stream... only notice is sent to uploader. So it's by design.

But you can hide Upload Video in post box. Add this code to your current template main css file:

.joms-postbox-double-panel .joms-postbox-video-upload {
display: none;
}

.joms-postbox-double-panel .joms-postbox-video-url {
width: 100%;
}

That such a great help Michal.
Thank you very much.
