Privacy settings do not work

I have also tested this on the Boonex demo. I can set my default privacy to me only, or create a new privacy group, add a member to it, but anyone can still see my profile, photos, videos, etc.... even though I have each group set to me only, or the new privacy group I created.

How exactly is the privacy supposed to work? The way it looks, it doesn't work AT ALL.

I'm running 7.0.9

Hello

If you selected "Me only" as Default privacy group in My Account -> Privacy Settings -> Default Privacy Group block and want to test it. You need to go to your profile edit page and select Default in Profile Privacy block. Then you may try to view the profile with some other common member. I checked it using default Dolphin 7.0.9 and it's working fine.

Well then it HALF works. So I've gone into privacy settings, created a new privacy group and have added only ONE friend. I also have my blogs, photos, etc set to this new privacy group. When I go to the profile logged in as the friend I added in the group, I CAN see my profile. If I log in as a NON friend, I cannot see my profile. But I AM able to view blogs, photos, etc... even though I have privacy set to allow ONLY that 1 friend to view them. It seems the default value privacy settings do not work for the modules.

I see no way the average member could figure this all out, when they have go here, there, and everywhere to change their privacy settings.

They don't work on the Dolphin demo site either. I created 2 accounts, set my simple messenger to friends only, yet my second account could message without being on my friends list. Privacy settings that DON'T work is a huge bug in my opinion.

Hello

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the issue under Dolphin 7.0.9. I have 2 profiles test01 and test02. I logged in as test01 and created a group Family which doesn't have any profiles.  Then I posted a blog post selecting Family group in Allow viewing to field.

In my second browser I logged in as test02 and tried to view the newly added blog post. I got Access Denied.

Then I added test02 in Family group of test01 profile and the blog post became visible for test02. It's working exactly as it should.

I don't know what happened, but it's now working. What is the Simple Messenger default setting for? You can change it to whatever you like, but it doesn't take effect. You sill have to go to /m/simple_messenger/ to change the privacy settings there.

Hello

I think the Default value for "Simple Messenger" is redundant.

 I don't think it's redundant... you can use those settings so only the defined group can send you chat messages. Works good if you have a lot of annoying users :) and don't want to block them from your profile.

 Hello

I think you are saying about 'Simple messenger privacy settings' which are available in Floating Member Menu -> Settings -> Simple Messenger Privacy Page. Yes, it's needed to filter SM messages from members by selecting necessary privacy group. But we are saying about Default value for Simple Messenger which can be found in Top Menu -> My Account (Dashboard) -> Privacy Settings page -> Default values block -> Simple Messenger.

These two settings are different. The last one is the Default value for Privacy Group selector. And the first one is the privacy group for SM itself.

The last one is needed for Content based modules like Groups, Store, Events, etc. For example, usually you create events especially for Friends. So, you may set the default value for Events module -> "Allow to view and post comments" setting to Friends group and everytime you want to create new Event you'll see that Friends group is selected by default in "Allow to view and post comments" select box. So, you don't need to change it from Public to Friends everytime. By default almost all Default values are set to Public.

I'm STILL confused by the simple messenger privacy settings.

Dashboard/privacy settings/default values/simple messenger

What does that do, because it does not control who can contact you through sm. As you stated, you have to go to the settings on the bottom toolbar to get to ANOTHER sm privacy, this is the one that works for me. I just don't get why it's listed in 2 different places. If I as an admin, and the person who has been working this site for 2 years can't figure it out, there's no way in h*ll the average joe is going to.

Is there a way to delete the default sm value under dashboard/privacy? I can't see that it does anything,except confuse people.

 Hello Anton!

I do not see this setting option in my Floating Member Menu!!!

Is there a place where I need to configure to see this privacy settings option?

Thank's and have a good day!

Forget this question Anton! I found my solution!

Sorry!

 Hello Run!

I had the same question and I found this ...

The problem is not to have two places to change the confidentiality of simple 'messenger'. The problem is that there is one of two that doesn't work!

So, it is best that the user can change from both place and get the same result!

Here's what I did to solve the problem ...

You must first find out what is ActionId for simple_messenger on your system. Here is the query that you will help you to find this id ...

SELECT id FROM sys_privacy_actions WHERE module_uri = 'simple_messenger'

Once you find your id ...

Search into the file inc/classes/ BxDolPrivacyQuery.php the code below

replaceDefaulfValue function ($ iOwnerId, iActionId $, $ iGroupId) {

$ sSQL = "REPLACE INTO` sys_privacy_defaults `SET` owner_id `= '". $ iOwnerId. "',` Action_id `='". $ iActionId. "',` Group_id `='". $ iGroupId. "";

and just below, adds ...

/ / Start LaMalice58
  if ($ iActionId == XXXXX ) {
$ this-> query ("REPLACE INTO` bx_simple_messenger_privacy `SET` author_id `= '". $ iOwnerId. "',` allow_contact_to `= '". $ iGroupId. "'");
}
/ / End LaMalice58

Now replace XXXXX with the result of the first query.

Well, I hope that this will help you!
