remove add videos, files, etc. from groups

I need to remove the add videos, files, etc. from groups because people will use too much space on my server. I only want to let people embed. Does this link to this other forum still show the best way? It's really old.

Embedding videos uses the same uploader as uploading videos and this is the same for groups.  If you only want the upload option removed from groups; you will most likely have to copy some of the classes to the group modules so you can override the class just for groups.

To get a more definitive answer, you should try to give a more detailed description of what you want to accomplish.  For example, is this suppose to ONLY apply to groups, or should it apply to all video uploads?

well I just want to make it so people can only embed items. I have videos and photos set to embed but in groups there is still the option to upload multiple videos and multiple photos, files, and sounds. I do not want them there.

I would start by looking at the groups module.  If you have already remove them from the normal sections then there must be code in the group modules that you will need to modify.

go to "/modules/boonex/groups/classes"

edit "BxGroupsFormAdd.php"

comment out lines (about) 20-70

stops photos, videos, sounds, and files to be uploaded into groups section. Saves a lots of server space.

and ewww change the group's default thumbnail
