Disabling photos/videos upload at Oxwall Software Forum

There are only two places the come to mind.
1. User / User Roles - Remove access to upload photos, or add video by user role, and click "Save" at the bottom of the page.
2. Settings / Content Settings - Disable html, and rich media in both of the top sections by checking the boxes, and click "Save" at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks Darryl B,
User Roles is very useful, I haven't mentioned yet earlier, but it doesn't have such settings.
Content Settings does have it - please screenshot of my config file.

All disabled, but photos uploading still works.
What else can I check?

User Roles allows you to set permissions based on user role. The "Photo", and "Video" plugins are in the list. You can remove permissions to upload photos, or add video by unchecking the box associated to a role.

Photos and Video plugins are inactive. Maybe I should uninstall them?
Unfortunately I don't see any User Roles associated with Photos.

Without the plugins; they should have the feature option to upload any photos, or videos. There should even be a photos, or videos page, and shouldn't have photo albums on their profile. You may want to check to see if the "Add Image" icon is still present when a blog, newsfeed, or forum post is created, or they could possibly be linking to photos, and not actually uploading them.

Indeed, the "Add Image" icon is still there.
It seems that Photo plugin is still active although disabled.
Same situation with several different installations - they all have this icon while settings are disabled.

I don't think that is part of the plugin. It should be part of the text editor. You can try adding the css below to your custom css for the theme in the admin panel, and it will remove the image, and video icons.

.toolbar ul li a.image {
display: none;
}
.toolbar ul li a.video {
display: none;
}

Am I doing it in the right place? (pls see screenshot)
Is there a way ti reset this feature to get back to control via admin panel settings?

Yes. that is the correct place. The only way to get the feature back would be to remove the custom css. In addition to the above; this should remove about all means of attaching a photo. in comments sections, and blogs.

.profile-NEWSFEED_CMP_UserFeedWidget .ow_status_update_btn_block .ow_attachments a, .dashboard-NEWSFEED_CMP_MyFeedWidget .ow_status_update_btn_block .ow_attachments a, .group-NEWSFEED_CMP_EntityFeedWidget .ow_status_update_btn_block .ow_attachments a, .index-NEWSFEED_CMP_SiteFeedWidget .ow_status_update_btn_block .ow_attachments a, .ow_comments_input .ow_attachments a{
    display: none !important;
}
.toolbar ul li a.image {
    display: none;
}
.toolbar ul li a.video {
    display: none;
}

Hi again Darryl B,

I would like to try uploading photos and videos to my Oxwall, but allow uploading only to myself as admin and not anyone else. Is it possible with Oxwall or with any 3rd party plugin?

I found plugin that can limit amount of photos per user, but not videos.
Maybe there is a way to customize this CSS to set these settings as I need?

Thanks in advance!

There is no solution with css. css is only for styling elements that are created by code. What you are wanting to accomplish will require custom code modification, or a plugin. There has to be some code in place to identify the admin, and the other users; along with the code to allow rights to the admin, and disallow all others. On one of your other posts on this same topic Artmedia seems to offer a viable solution for photos, but I don't know of anything for video. You may want to consider hiring a developer to make all of this happen on your installation.
