Profile pictures not following users privacy settings

If a user changes their profile cover photo, it will show up in the stream for all members of the site (if they select "Filtered by All streams") no matter what privacy settings the user has. As an example I have a profile set to only allow friends access and photos are set to only me, yet when I added a profile cover page it showed in the stream to all users which it shouldn't do.

Hi, Andrew.

That stream activity is related with user and profile rather than with photos. So no photos privacy settings will apply to i.
You can hide that kind of activity on stream by disabling user points rule.
Browse to Backend -> Components -> JomSocial -> Configuration -> User points look for rule related with profile cover and disable it. From now on no cover image will be posted on stream.

- 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.

But the profile has Profile View set to Friends so why can non-friends see that item in their stream?

(For suggestion about turning it off, I want to be able to assign a point to users for doing this and as I understand that you have to also publish it?)

Hi, Andrew.

Profile view is not the same as profile related activity - cover upload.
This is global community activity and you can't set any privacy towards it.
You can only disable it.

Not being able to allow a user to choose what others see of their activites seems to go totally against your advertised statement of "We take privacy seriously-Members want to be sure that their information is protected. JomSocial allows them to choose the privacy level of each post and even modify it later." This sounds like a major missunderstanding of "privacy" and how it should work.

This is a big issue for me and brinngs into question just how suitable your product is for me and if I was misled by your sales information with regards to giving users good control over their content.

It seems that the ability to offer users points for activites totally breaks any privacy on the system.

Hi, Andrew.

Please, make a safe copy of this file:
ROOT/components/com_community/controllers/photos.php

Then replace original file with patched one from package.

Putting the patched one in actually stops the user changing the image (having browsed and selected a new image when they click ok on the browser, nothing happens)
