Hi, Tuan!
I am sure that this is not a bug but we have a concern with using the Event Booking plugin that adds event registrations into the JomSocial Activities stream.
The event bookings that we sell are open to both users of JomSocial and to the wider public and they can all sign up for events, make their event attendance purchases, etc. - all good. We also wanted to be able to show the signups in the JomSocial Activities stream to help promote the events to the community and the plug_jsactivities plugin seems to do the job nicely, except...
When a user who is logged into JomSocial registers for an event, their username shows up in the JomSocial Activities stream - great!
BUT! When a person who is NOT a user in JomSocial signs up for an event, their FULL NAME (essentially, a lot of people will enter their name the way it is shown on their credit card!) shows up in the Activities stream. This is an absolute no-no in terms of privacy in our community and on the Internet in general. Usernames showing up are fine, even encouraged, but we cannot publish real names in any way. This was such a great concern that we had to uninstall the plugin immediately.
So, here's the question... is there a way to configure the plugin so that it:
- for registered and logged-in JomSocial users, it behaves as it normally does, showing the username of the member who has signed up for an event
- for users who are not logged-in, the registrations would either not be included in the JomSocial activity stream or show up as "anonymous" or even a nickname the event attendee can select at registration time instead of displaying their full name?
Is there a way to accomplish that?
Thank you for a great component!
