Solution to hide all private items ?!

can anyone tell me if there is a solution to hide all private items, site wide ?!

I have looked and searched and find no answer.

thanks in advance.

bump.

anyone ?!

Are you referring to those place-holder "images with locks" that show up when someone loads a view page with a mix of private and public items... and they don't have permission to view the private items?  I see this often on Photos pages... and I think it's detracts from the site.  So I too would like to know how to hide them from view.  Seems each item is being checked for privacy anyway... now need to add code to also hide it from display.

All private items.... Videos, Photos, Files etc etc ?

Hello,

I think you have to code it yourself. You can create a function which checks if the file is public and add a conditional statement in the Template class which generate the blocks. You have to do it in all modules but once you do it for one it will be just a matter of copy paste and a little edit for other modules.

I searched the code and found a solution for you. My last post was about groups and other similar modules based on Twig class. So, forget it..:)

go to base/scripts/BxBaseSearchResultSharedMedia.php at line 154 you will see this

 if (!$bVis) {

            $aUnit = array(

               'img_url' => $this->oTemplate->getIconUrl('lock.png'),

               'bx_if:show_title' => array(

                   'condition' => !$bShort,

                   'content' => array(1)

               )

            );

            $sCode = $this->oTemplate->parseHtmlByName('browse_unit_private.html', $aUnit);

        }

add return; to it..

 if (!$bVis) {

        return;

            $aUnit = array(

               'img_url' => $this->oTemplate->getIconUrl('lock.png'),

               'bx_if:show_title' => array(

                   'condition' => !$bShort,

                   'content' => array(1)

               )

            );

            $sCode = $this->oTemplate->parseHtmlByName('browse_unit_private.html', $aUnit);

        }

Too simple. I already made quite few tutorials for my site...lol. Enjoy...:)

I added this as suggested however now the pages with private items show as pages with nothing there ?!

for example; pages 1, 2, 3, and 4 show as pages with nothing on now!

is there a way to stop the pages holding private things from showing ?

thanks in advance :)

Okay i will look further in my free time.

I was about to post on the same issue... asking for additional help.  Seems we need to edit the script that loads the page items... to ignore those items the user does not have permission to view.  For added clarification, I've attached an image that shows the item counter and page number display that need to be adjusted (taken from the bottom of the Popular Photos display block).  

Thank you Prashank... your help is very much appreciated.

 exactly same as I detailed ...

bump.

still looking for solution ...
