Hi! I want to install an application in my website but not actually open it from the application side-bar. I was wondering if it would be somehow possible to edit the Easy Social toolbar(insert some code etc.) and put an extra icon, right next to the dashboard icon that is a link to my application, in order to access the application from there! I love the idea of a simpler GUI for my website and since I only plan to install just this application for now, I don't want to have an extra application window just sitting there. Also, is it possible to do the same idea but instead of an app, to link the icon to an other Joomla article?
Thanks!

Having said that, if you require us to perform the customization for you, you can always request for a quote from us at https://crm.stackideas.com and select "Customizations" . Our sales person would be glad to send you a quote for the customizations that you have requested.

Hi Nikitas!
I got the same problem like you. I wrote an app and want to append a link to the toolbar. Unfortunately i didn't found any documentation/tutorial how to do that!

Do you have a solution for your/my problem?

Hi Gregor,

In case you required them to shown on your toolbar, you can do modifications on this file .../components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.php. Then, do template override on this file in order for you tho avoid it to overwrite after update/upgrade of your product. Thanks for your understanding

Thanks Abdul!
I already found that file and took a look at it. What do you mean by "template override"? Put a file with the same name at another location.
By looking thru the file .../components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.php. i saw code like this



				<?php if ($this->config->get('polls.enabled')) { ?>

				<li class="<?php echo $view == 'polls' ? 'is-active' : '';?>">

					<a href="<?php echo ESR::polls();?>" class="es-navbar__footer-link">

						<i class="fa fa-bar-chart"></i>

						<span>

							<?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYSOCIAL_TOOLBAR_POLLS');?>

						</span>

					</a>

				</li>

				<?php } ?>

I think it makes sense to realize a link the same way. Unfortunately the doc gives no further information. So far i think that ESR:: stands for Routing? But where can i get docs about routing?

If i got the solution for this problem i'll write a tutorial how to change toolbar from changing the file to the handling of routing. I think the official doc lacks.

Thanks

Hi there,

From what i meant 'Template Override' is as follow, https://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/administrators/templating/template-overrides as this feature is used, in order for any customers, wanted to do some modifications on their site, those modified item, wont be changed after update/upgrade. Please advice.

Unfortunately the doc gives no further information. So far i think that ESR:: stands for Routing? But where can i get docs about routing?

Yes, currently, those documentation you are viewing didn't consist any information on codes and etc. Thanks for your understandings.
