My question is regarding the community front page / activity stream. The default privacy for photos in back-end jomsocial admin area is set to "public". So when any non-friend user uploads a photos and it appears in the activity....:
1) Should all non friend users see the comments in the activity stream and be able to comment on them based on a public photo setting.
2) Should all site users who are non friends be able to comment on those photos in the respective photo albums based on a public photo setting.
I am not seeing any place to comment on a photo in the activity stream or photo albums as a non friend and with the photo setting to public. Please as a test join my community and see if you can see any comments, comment yourself in the activity stream or photo album as a non friend to other user photos.
Hi, David.
Try to change settings here: Components -> JomSocial -> Configuration -> Site -> Walls (see att.)
Non-friends are always able to comment photos or albums directly. Commenting on walls depends on Walls settings.
Please check if it works for you.
Well.... Nope didn't work. I changed the settings as you said uploaded a new photo and it didn't show the availability to make comments in the activity stream on photos uploaded by non-friends.
Again I have no jomsocial templates and have done nothing custom to your product.
Can you please fix this.... you have the login detail and I just update you to have the FTP access as well.

Hi, David.
You discovered a bug :) Thank you.
I'll mark it as a confirmed bug. If there will be a quick fix I'll give it to you.
Hi, David.
Developers team told me that it is not a bug as wall uses other libraries. But this will be unified in JomSocial 3.3
I understood nothing from your post.
Are you telling me that when a user/ person views the community activity stream and they are "NOT" a friend of a person who made a post of let say a picture and they want to comment on that they can "NOT" comment because the are not a friend?
BUT
If that same "NON - FRIEND" clicks on the picture they can make a comment on it if the settings in the admin area allow for all users and non-friend users to comment on pictures etc.
Are you saying this will be changed in future version of JomSocial to allow for non-firends / users to be able to comment in the community activity stream.
???
Hi, David.
I'm trying to say that developers rejected report as this is not a bug.
Different library is used for friends actions and for non friends actions. Thus friends can comment photo directly on stream and non friends need to go to picture and post a comment under it.
This should be unified in JomSocial 3.3.
