Configuration

Most Compat behavior is automatic once the plugin is enabled and patches applied. The one everyday toggle administrators touch is story photo paste.

Enable story photo paste

Open System → Plugins → System - RCA EasySocial Compat. Set Enable story photo paste to Yes when members should attach clipboard images with Ctrl+V or Cmd+V in the EasySocial story composer through EasySocial’s own photos uploader. Set it to No when you do not want the extra frontend script. Default is Yes on new installs.

What you do not configure in the plugin

Install-time patches apply when targets match. There is no per-patch switch in admin. Article stream ownership runs while the plugin is enabled. Emoji UI upgrades load when EasySocial emoticons are enabled site-wide. If emoticons are off in EasySocial, the picker upgrade has nothing to attach to.

EasySocial parameters Compat adjusts

For com_content article activity, Compat disables EasySocial article app stream_create and stream_update through stored parameters so Compat can create one stream row and update it in place. You do not edit those parameters by hand under normal use. Re-enabling Compat after a disable may require retesting article publish behavior.

After you change paste setting

Save the plugin, clear cache, hard-refresh the frontend, and test paste in the story composer with a real image on the clipboard, not a text link pretending to be an image.
