How to set "Global Posting"
Is there a way to set the post default to be on the members profile so they don't have to select a specific space from the dropdown menu every time they make a post when on the main news feed?
For example, when a member opens the "Create Post" box, the "Posting in:" will be automatically set to be "On my profile" by default, and if they want to post in a specific space, then they can click on the words "On my profile" to select a different space to post in.
I thought that is what this setting does.
If my understanding is correct concerning this setting, then for some reason it ain't working. So, if anyone has any ideas or fixes for this, it'd be much appreciated. 😀
David Fore It only enables the feature that allows to post on your profile, but I would also like to know how to make 'on my profile' as a default option with the posibility to pick a space.
Auto-selecting "On my profile" globally could cause issues — if someone writes a long post intending to share it in a specific space, they might hit Post without noticing the default and accidentally publish it to their profile instead.
But we can configure the auto select "On my profile" from the user profile route, which makes sense. I will talk with our team about this. Thank you.
Tawsif Ahmed Riyad Thanks for looking into this.
Tawsif Ahmed Riyad I've been using this for several weeks via a custom code. On the feed, only "on my profile" is enabled; it's no longer possible to post to a space from there. If a member wants to post to a space, they select it from the list in the left sidebar or from the Spaces page.
For me, this is what I wanted. On the feed = profile, in a space = space, which seems logical to me; it's the same logic as for spaces (where it's not possible to post to one's profile). The functionality would be the ability for the administrator to disable the selection of spaces on the feed. (I'm not a developer, I should point out.)
I did that with chat gpt and php snippet code, but it's custom, would be great if this option was available out of the box
Mav Nice, would you mind sharing the code snippet?
