How to disable the blog? [#294690]

I was expecting this feature. Cos it could be integrated with buddylist module. I just want have an option not to display the blog link under "users with similar interest" since not everyone is enabling blog module.

Another weakness is if I apply this module on already running site. It does not take a consideration on previous users' posts for corresponding categories/taxonomies. Only when particular user post on say category A, then only all posts on category A would be displayed...

I hope this could be your input to enhance this module. This module has a good potential for other Drupal users too.

The "users with similar interest" feature has not been removed. You can access it by clicking on the "My Interests" menu item, you will need the "access interests" permission to use this feature. The function is "interests_browse" in the code.

If you were using the previous version of Interests, then you must set which vocabularies can be interests for the users. Use the admin/content/interests menu to do this. If you select all the vocabs that existing users have used as their interests, then this should work. If you do not do this then interests will no longer work for your existing users.

Agileware,

Yes you are right "users with similar interest" is still there. I was wrong. Sorry for this.

One weakness is I must set interest (set all taxonomies) on each of all current users. This gonna be tedious work after all. Besides, current users' interest would be "all" which is very unlikely be "correct". Current users would be confuse since they have all taxonomies to be in their interest right?

What do you think? And what is your suggestion?

Regards

This is not the case, you only have to set each Vocab once for Interests, not for each user. Terms that each user has selected should be available as long as the corresponding Vocab has been 'Interest enabled'.

Yes I only need to set at least one vocab for Interests.

Let me try to elaborate more on this issue. It was historical data actually.

[Before installing Interests]
User A post a node on sports category
User B post nodes on sports category and finance category

[After installing Interests, And after set vocab to Interests]
Both User A and User B does not have any interests yet. I was expecting User A has already sports as interest in same way as User B has interest on sports and finance. Thus User A may see User B in "users with similar interests"

[What Happens]
Since both User A and User B does not have any interests yet. So clicking on My Interest menu does not produce anything.
"Users with similar interests" is also inaccessible.
I must set each category for each user then only this Interest module works. Or wait until let's say User B post another node on Finance then User B interest on finance would be shown with 2 nodes (previous node now appears)

[Issue]
Of course if I installed this Interest module at first place I wont be having this kind of problem. But for existing site with existing users already posting nodes, this could be an issue. Right?

Hope this could explain issue I am having. This is not Interest bugs of course. I only need a kind of work around to tweak this issue.

Regards
