ISSUE SUMMARY:

We want photos to be disabled completely.

In back end if we choose Photo settings, Photo Gallery - Enable photo gallery NO, then in the Home Page Activity Stream we no longer see 'add Photo' as an option in the status box. However, if you look in 'Comment' on the Activity Stream it is still possible to add a photo there

In groups we disable photos too. But if we go to a discussion and comment we can add a photo

Finally, in Events, if someone comments they can add a photo.

So even though we say NO to photos - we can't stop members putting them.

Hi, Susan.

Disabling Photos feature will not disable photos in comments. The difference is that a "Photo" is an object placed in album (if you upload via post box or in albums) and "photo in comment" is just a image file attached and displayed in comment (it's not stored in any album but directly on server as a resource).

But you can "block" using a bit of css:

.joms-comment__reply .joms-icon.joms-icon--add {
display: none !important;
}
