JomSocial Expired

Hi, I have tried out the demo and realised that the following features are not available. As I need these features for my community, I would like to find out whether the change request will be supported. I believe it will be a good enhancement for JomSocial as well.

My idea is to offer membership to my advertisers who will be allowed to post announcement and photo on the group.
1) I would like the public to view all the content but unable to upload photos to the group albums.
2) For the home and group "recent activities", I only want the uploaded information to be seen. I don't need the "like" photo status to flood the activity page.

Can I be done via JomSocial support or do I need to source to developer?

Thank you.

Hi, April.

1. This can be done without any customization. Try it here: demo.jomsocial.com/index.php/photos2/album?albumid=13&groupid=3 You are not logged in (so you're in Public Joomla! group) and still can see photos, but can't upload them. All here depends on your configuration.

2. This can by done by help of a developer as it's not a minor customization.


- 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.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

1. I noted that the group has to be set as public. For public setting, users can join the group without any approval. And there will be able to create album after joining. What I wanted is that I will only allow my advertisers to post their news in the group. I want all others to see but not able to post in the group at all.

2. Noted. Thanks.

Hi, April.

1. So you want to have public group (to display photo albums) but you want to that user join group after approval (so group is private) - this is antinomy :) In your community there will be advertisers and other users? And everybody could register? Maybe better ideas is to limit registration only to advertisers? So only them could perform uploading actions. The rest (Public) could only browse content...

Hi,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Sorry that I am not very clear. Here are the current access:

Public - freely view, join and post content
Private - restricted view and post content to members

What I wanted is a new access type which is a mixture of both:
New type - freely view but restricted post content

Thank you.

Hi, April.

OK, I think that this extension should help you: www.jomsocial.com/addons/memberships/jom...p-and-access-control But to be sure, ask it's developer ;)
