Security

For extra security, Love Factory allows the user to add certain restrictions to your site.

All sections have the same restrictions options.

These settings can be found in the Joomla Backend/Love Factory/Settings/Security.

Some restrictions are more suitable to some sections than others.

The restrictions are the following:

• ActivityEnabled - enables your activity logs
• ActivityPrivacy - makes your activity hidden
• CommentsEnabled - enables comments
• CommentsPrivacy - comments get filtered before posted
• Create profile - create your profile
• Filled - mark something as filled
• FriendsEnabled - enables friends
• Google Maps enabled - enable Google Maps
• GroupsEnabled - enables groups
• Guest - you have to be a guest in order to do specific tasks.
• InterractionsEnabled - enable interactions between users
• Logged - suitable for activities that can only be done while logged
• MembersMapEnabled - enables Member Maps
• MessagesEnabled - enables messages
• NonDefaultMembership - restrict default memberships from specific tasks
• NotFilled - marks a field as not filled
• RadiusSearchEnabled - enables searching for a person within a certain area(GoogleMaps)
• RelationshipEnabled - enables relationships
• TopFriendsEnabled - enables top friends

With this new feature, you can decide what restrictions apply to all the sections of the component.

For instance, if you want no restriction on the search page, you remove all restriction from that section. But if you want the search for a match section be available only for users with a non default membership, you simply add the NonDefaultMembership restriction to that section.

Other restrictions cannot be removed. For example, the Ignore section has the Logged restriction that cannot be removed. This is because the ignore list is something that is particular to a certain user.

Profile fill in no longer means that they have a Love Factory profile or not.

It means if they have updated their profile using the Profile Fill In page. Using this page, you can request them more information. The registration form can be simple, but the Profile Fill In can be more complex to ask them more information.

You can set on the Security page what sections of the extension requires them to have a "FilledIn" profile to allow them access to those sections.
