Hi can  you please share a screen shot of what you need to change so we are clear, thanks :)

Thanks for the quick reply dave

When you visit http://demo.oxwall.org/groups/2 to see the posts related to the group,

The post author's profile url will open when you click on author's avatar.

I am customizing this page. I do not want to show other user's url for a specific user role (Free user role). Free users can't interact with others.

If this is not understandable, please ask. 

If the image is not visible, find the attachment

what you can do is check the user roll with a if $user_role == '' { ... }{else}{ ... }
but maybe there is a function in Oxwall core that will do the trick also..

But i think you should do this in the newsfeed and not the group plugin based on your attachment.

Thanks Arie for the reply.

I tried to check as you said.

But for this customization, it didn't work.

In Group Newsfeed page template, to display avatar with user url, we have the below code.

In ow_system_plugins/base/components/comments_list.php, data regarding avatar image is showing below.

$userAvatarArrayList = empty($this->staticData['avatars']) ? $this->avatarService->getDataForUserAvatars($this->userIdList) : $this->staticData['avatars'];

Guna,

You need to add an exception for the user info data in /ow_plugins/newsfeed/components/feed_item.php file.

Find the getUserInfo function and add the following exception:

 if ( !OW::getUser()->isAuthorized("bla", "bla") )
        {
            $user["url"] = null;
        }

Thanks Daisy.

It works. Make this topic as solved.
