Favorites Sharing Configuration

[dcavalier]

Hi again, Micheal:

Sorry for all the posts but just working through this.

Is there a way to turn on/off the favorites sharing feature? Not talking about displaying shared favorites from within the users' settings options, but in the admin's configuration option.

Let me know. As well, I turned off sharing in the admin settings and the files are still showing in the favorites list of the users I had previously given permission to share.

Thanks.
Darlene

Hi Darlene,

Turning shared favorites on/off completely (from the admin page) isn't an option in the current version (0.8.2).

If you don't want your users to see the option, locate line 202-205 in "disp_settings.php".
The lines currently says:

Code: Select all

   // Show/hide shared favorites:
   fancy_tr($tmpcount,$tdnorm,$tdalt,$tdhighlight);
   echo "<td>".xlate("Display shared favorites").":".add_faq(29)."</td>";
   echo '<td align="left">'.add_checkbox('disp_fav_shares',$_SESSION['disp_fav_shares']).'</td></tr>';


...just delete them or - even better - comment out the three lines.


You might also want to run this simple SQL-query (f.ex. using PhpMyAdmin) against your user-table, so the option is hidden at login time:

Code: Select all

UPDATE user SET disp_fav_shares = '0'


...this example assumes you're not using a prefix for your AmpJuke tables.
If you do have a prefix - f.ex. "ampjuke_", the query should be stated as:

Code: Select all

UPDATE ampjuke_user SET disp_fav_shares = '0'

Hi darlene,

Just FYI, there will be a new, global setting available in 0.8.3: Allow shared favorites.
If turned off, no shared favorite lists will be shown and the option to share favorite lists will be hidden for all registered users.

Yes, I'm aware of that. This issue has been long resolved and now I don't even remember what I did to fix it. I think it was something silly like I had the path wrong - I'm pretty sure I posted it.
