Hi,

Is it possible to create a public group in Jomsocial (visible to the public) where only the group administrators can make new wall posts, images, videos, events and discussions?

I am aiming to create a 'news' group that is visible to everyone but can only be posted in by administrators. Ideally public users who've joined the group would still be able to comment on these posts and reply to discussions.

Hi,

sorry, that not possible. you need to customize lot of jomsocial core files and you cant upgrade your jomsocial anymore, because all core changes will be disappeared.

Okay. Will this be handled by the ACL coming in JS 4.5?

Also will the ACL in 4.5 define which group categories users can post in / create / join?

Hi,

we still not having plan to that. I suggest you to put user voice at:
www.jomsocial.com/uservoice

Hmm, fair enough.

If the new ACL won't cover group categories then I'm a little confused as to the purpose of the ACL in jomsocial? Isn't everything else already covered by mutliprofiles?

HI.

To be honest we don't know yet exactly how ACL will work and what settings it will cover. We're in 14% of JomSocial 4.2 and ACL will be implemented in 4.3. This will take a longer while.

Since then you may help us by posting your suggestions in User Voice and gather votes under it (in Community).

if you it's crucial to have this feature now - please consider to hire professional developer to help you with implementation: www.upwork.com/groups/jomsocial

Or maybe JSPT cover this settings? You may ask their developers about it: www.readybytes.net/jomsocial-profile-type.html

Thanks, i'll look into JSPT.

Hi Michal

We got JSPT and its a nice bit of software. I think this solves our problem.

Thank you for the recommendation.
