Private member and videos on home page

Another privacy issue.

When a member has a private profile, their videos, photos, sounds, and files still show up on the homepage under the public blocks!

Anybody have a hint where I can look to prevent this from happening?

This is the video block on the homepage.

ADMIN's profile is private: In the attached photo when you click the video, it tells you ADMIN's profile is  private, so I don't want the video to show up in that block in the 1st place.

Thanks!

Setting the profile to a privacy level such as 'friends' is not going to automatically make all photo, videos, sounds, blogs, etc. become friends only.

Members have the ability to choose individual privacy levels for these types of things. So a member can have 4 photo albums set to friends only, and 2 set to public. Any photos in 'public' will display on the homepage regardless of what their profile privacy is set to.

If the member wants to set defaults, they can go to their Privacy Groups page (Account > Privacy Groups  www.yoursite.com/member_privacy.php) and set the defaults there.

Easiest way is how Zarcon outlined.  Just let your members know that setting a profile to private does not set the content to private, that is controlled by the privacy settings for the content; by the albums.  You can add this to your FAQ or Help Guide.

 Ha Ha!  I wish it was that easy! 

Do your members want or have the ability to set their privacy in 4 different areas?  LOL

I really need to add a check for their profile privacy and apply that across all content.

I'll keep digging.  I figured out how to stop media from showing up when IT's album is private.

And I spent days chasing down when their profile is private not to display any blocks related to their content.

I may have to pull the photos and videos block until I get this fixed.

There has to be a filter I can apply this...

require_once(BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_MODULES . 'boonex/videos/classes/BxVideosSearch.php');
 $oMedia = new BxVideosSearch();
 $aVisible[] = BX_DOL_PG_ALL;
 if ($this->iMemberID > 0)
 $aVisible[] = BX_DOL_PG_MEMBERS;
 $aCode = $oMedia->getBrowseBlock(array('allow_view'=>$aVisible), array('menu_top'=>true, 'sorting' => getParam('bx_videos_mode_index'), 'per_page'=>(int)getParam('bx_videos_number_index')));
 return array($aCode['code'], $aCode['menu_top'], $aCode['menu_bottom'], $aCode['wrapper']);

I just am not strong on the filter part.

I guess I don't understand exactly what it is you are trying to accomplish then. Since there really isn't 'Private' privacy level, I am assuming you are meaning anything other that 'Public'. What it seems like is that you want to change all of your user's content privacy level to whatever privacy level they have set on their Profile. So if a member signs up at your site and sets their profile privacy to Public, then a few months later and lots of content added, they change their Profile to 'Friends' you are going to have to find a way to automatically update the database/privacy levels to Friends (or whatever they choose, every time they change it). Also, what will happen if someone 'tries' to set a photo/video album to something other than what they chose for their profile?

Questions if I was a member of your site:

What if I want to be able to control my own privacy levels?

Why can't I have Profile set to Public, Blogs viewable to all members, and my family pictures viewable for only my friends?

One of the gripes I hear from friends who have Facebook is the fact that FB forces/prompts changes on them they don't want. It's like they no longer 'control' of their own account. My personal opinion is to give members the freedom to choose whatever they want. If you start making changes/forcing people to have no choices, it's possible you could lose members that way. You also have to realize that by doing this, users outside of 'Public' will not be able to share anything with friends on other sites like FB, Twitter, etc. Well, technically they can link it, but whoever clicks it won't see it.

If you wanted to 'lock' down your site to where you have no choice but to be friends (as example) with a member in order to see their content, then why not just remove ALL privacy levels except for friends in the Admin Panel? Of course you would have to manually update the database to change all existing privacy levels on the content to Friends. Again my personal opinion, it's a bad idea.

If it is checked in the admin panel, it is suppose to be possible for members to go to one page and set the default privacy level for all areas from one page.  I don't have this on my site because I was confused as to how it worked and meant to play around with it on my test site.  Then when they create a new album, it gets the default privacy level; which can be overridden if they choose.

I would be interested in what you did here

i have replay from Dating profiles company:"i upload photos to their places where they should reside.

they appear correctly but after some time they are replaced with"no photo" PNG picture. i really can't understand what's happening. we did several succesful uploads to standard Dolphin script, and

didn't face such problrm before." ??????

Send me a PM.

Zarcon, fresh eyes on the problem!  Thanks!

Here's where I am coming from.  I have my profile (Admin). I don't want ANYBODY seeing anything I post or upload.

Since my profile is to me only, I still have to go into all the modules and make a check against the profile privacy to make sure that content doesn't show up in searches, etc...

If I have a member that only wants a select group of friends to see their content and they set their profile to friends only, they expect everything to be friends only (which makes sense to me).

This day and age of 1 click and done, they don't want to have to go to their photos,videos,files,sound & blogs to set the privacy.

On YOUR side, I see where you are coming from.  My profile might be private, but, I may want to share my events, or photos, just not everything else, so I can select what I want.

So....  Maybe, what I need is when I edit my profile, I have the privacy settings for sound/video/photos/files/blogs in the privacy block when I edit my profile. That way you would set your privacy for all your DEFAULT albums for sound/video/photos/files/blogs.

Then a friendly FAQ for creating albums that the privacy for those are controlled separately.
