default group privacy settings

Can anyone tell me what the default group privacy settings are?

I would like my entire network to be as private as possible.. I was able to uncheck the public group settings option, and that fixed that.. but I would like to make sure the default is the same as members only, so for the time being I unchecked the default group as well. How do I make sure the default group setting matches the members only group setting?

Default group setting may have a value of any available group. Every user set for himself what is default group for him.

The advantage is that user can change value of default group anytime - and privacy settings will be changed for all content where he point default group.

ooooh I see! Thats cool :) ok, thanks!

hmmm is there a way I can change the Public group privacy setting to match the members group privacy settings?

I have a couple of pages like

http://www.websitename.org/m/photos/browse/album/membersalbumname/owner/membername

for photos and videos that show the thumbnails of the images or videos when guests visit the page. I need that to not show up for people who are not logged into the site.

Any ideas on what I can do? Please advise..

ok! I found that if I open the table "sys_albums" and change the AllowedAlbumView to 4 which I belive is the Members group.. I can secure my members content...

However, I'm not a database guy, and not very familar with SQL

changing thousands of records 1 at a time would take forever.. Anyone have any tips on how I can do this easily?

If I go to the SQL tab in the table under phpMyAdmin and input:

UPDATE `databasename`.`sys_albums` SET `AllowAlbumView` = '4'

Will that work and update all records? Any help is appreciated!

It will work for all the future occurences, not for the older ones.

Thanks!

Any ideas on how I can get it to work on all older occurences too?

If I do an Export and re import it back in, would that work? Sounds like it should.

Awesome! This worked for all occurences actually! This was really important because with an adult network, my members expect anything they upload to automatically be defaulted to members only.  However, There were some entries with the number as high as 28.. is there documentation in there so we know what we can change and what we cannot? or Should not?

I think it is best to play with membership settings in your case ! Remove 'view photo', 'view video', etc action from non-member/guest membership type.

Privacy settings are user dependent, if you change it in database, user can set it back to public again.

I did that, but the thumbnails were still viewable in album views..

Then, if you need to remove public group at all, you need to disable it in admin panel -> settings -> privacy settings. But it will disable public privacy group for all content. Also it will not affect existing content.

I went to do that actually and realized that I couldn't, because over 1400 profiles were created with the public setting. When I did it, users couldn't see each other's profile, just their own. It'd probably be the same fix, but I worry about what other content I'd have to change too..

So if I use

UPDATE `databasename`.`Profiles` SET `allow_view_to` = '4'

In theory, that will work, right? Then I can try taking "public" away?

Yes, it will make all profiles visible to logged in members only.

Awesome!! I did this for mostly everything that didn't have it set but ran into an issue with "Sites" for some reason setting it to 4 didn't work.. the only one it seems to like is 3.. so I changed the caption for the word "public" to "The World" to give my members a clue lol :) So hopefully thats the end of this issue on my end :) Thanks for your help AlexT and JOOsocial! :)
