As one example, when I install Jomsocial there is not an option to hide the “Groups” area. My client would like this to be hidden. Is it possible to create a plugin which will hide certain elements like that from displaying or does this require me to edit the core files directly? Thanks.

Answer 1

I didn't get what exactly you want to hide. If you want to hide Groups menu then follow Riccardo Zorn answer. If you want to hide Groups module which falls below the frnds then you can modify template file. Remember that you can override Jom Social template files. You can easily do this without modifying core JS files. Hope it helps you.

Answer 2

It is much simpler than that, the available functions and their access levels in jomsocial are determined by the restrictions upon the corresponding jomsocial menu item.

Just open administrator -> menu -> jomsocial -> groups and set it to highest possible privilege (super users) then disable it, this should do the trick.
