Chatter custom component

Hi,
 
We have chatter feed tracking in place in object 'Case' for 7-fields. There is a group of users who do not want feed tracking appear in chatter feed for SPECIFIC FIELD in case chatter feed section at top of the page. e.g. Out of 7-fields, they want chatter feed for 6 fields in Case record page. If I disable field in feed tracking in setup, it will stop feed to whole organization. How can I achieve the this using visualforce?
 
Thanks,
Mahadev

You can associate a custom profile to the users and restrict the visibility of the field using field-level security (https://login.salesforce.com/help/doc/en/admin_fls.htm). However, in addition to preventing the users from seeing the tracked changes for the specific field, they also wouldn't be able to see the field on the Case record page or anywhere else.

Hi alouie_sfdc

 

In this case user want access to field via page layout but do not want related feed to appear in chatter feed caused by chatter feed tracking on case obejct.

 

Thanks,

Sorry, I don't think it's possible to enable feed tracking on a field for some users but not others.

Hi alouie_sfdc,

 

Do you have any other viable alternates of visualforce or trigger instead of configuration changes to resolve this issue?

 

Thanks,

Hi Maddy, sorry, I can't think of any way aside from configuring the field-level security.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am trying to think of developing custom component to replace standard chatter feed at top of the page.
