i'm loving the new ES 1.4 Thank you for the great work!!

I have a few questions:

STATUS UPDATE : See Screenshot 1
***********************************************
1) How can I rearrange the icons in the Status Update? Right now its, Events, File, Link, Photo..... I want Photo, link, events etc.. See screenshot 1

2) How do I hide the text "Recent Updates"?

3) When I click on the Photo icon, it gives a huge button below "Click or drop photos here to upload", How can I disable this and get the browse photo window just by clicking the photo icon? My site users are noobs and this is an extra confusion for them. It would be great if the same thing can be applied for uploading Avatars.

ES RECENT REGISTERED USERS MODULE: See Screenshot 2
************************************************
I have a ES module for recent users on the sidebar but it shows no avatar thumbnails. See Screenshot 2

SIDEBAR ON PROFILE PAGE: See Screenshot 3
**********************************************
How can I order the items on the sidebar of the profile page? Right now it show Apps>Groups>Friends>photos I want Photos>Friends>Apps>Groups See screenshot 3

TOOLBAR COLOR
**********************************************
Is there a setting in the ES backend where I can change the Toolbar Color. The dark grey color looks great but doesn't blend with my site theme.

CONVERSATION NOTIFICATIONS DOESN"T CLEAR
********************************************************************
This was an issue was supposed to be fixed in a new release. The conversation notification doesn't clear unless I open each conversation one by one.

LIKE BUTTON
**********************************************
One of the main expectations from the 1.4 release was speed. There is still lag in "Like" button on photos or status. when I click the Like button there is still a lag and on mobile phones this is very frustrating. I was hoping this release would fix this problem but its still the same I would like the Like buttons to be like that of Facebook, no lag at all. This is the most important things for me right now
Hi Sky,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply. Please find my answers from your inquiries below.

1) How can I rearrange the icons in the Status Update? Right now its, Events, File, Link, Photo..... I want Photo, link, events etc.. See screenshot 1

Unfortunately it is not possible as the content is not reside directly as html format. You can take a look at your /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/story/default.php at line 20~30 for a better look on how easysocial rendering the content inside story header.

2) How do I hide the text "Recent Updates"?

You can take a look at the same file I mentioned above and look for the following string constant and remove it,
COM_EASYSOCIAL_STORY_PLACEHOLDER


3) When I click on the Photo icon, it gives a huge button below "Click or drop photos here to upload", How can I disable this and get the browse photo window just by clicking the photo icon? My site users are noobs and this is an extra confusion for them. It would be great if the same thing can be applied for uploading Avatars.

Unfortunately it is not possible to achieve this currently.

I have a ES module for recent users on the sidebar but it shows no avatar thumbnails.

Can you pass me your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can check on this issue?

How can I order the items on the sidebar of the profile page? Right now it show Apps>Groups>Friends>photos I want Photos>Friends>Apps>Groups See screenshot 3

Currently it is not possible to change the ordering of the of the profile sidebar in easysocial.

Is there a setting in the ES backend where I can change the Toolbar Color. The dark grey color looks great but doesn't blend with my site theme.

Unfortunately there is no setting to change the color of easysocial toolbar. The only way to change it is to change the color directly via css below:
div#fd.es .es-navbar {
background: blue;
}


This was an issue was supposed to be fixed in a new release. The conversation notification doesn't clear unless I open each conversation one by one.

I am sorry but I'm not quite understand by notification is not clear. Can you elaborate more on the issue?

Most of the optimization part is not actually included in current release of easysocial but we are currently working on it and will roll out the optimization as soon as it finish.

Hi Sky,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply.

Ah I see. I've checked your settings and it seems like you did not enable "automatically mark item as read" from your backend > easysocial > settings > notification > conversation, http://screencast.com/t/1i1vKWBQksUe . I've helped you to enable the settings and it should be working correctly now.

I have a ES module for recent users on the sidebar but it shows no avatar thumbnails.

I've applied the following css fix inside your /templates/shaper_helix3/css/template.css and it displaying correctly now, http://screencast.com/t/DI1uFngu .
div#fd.es.mod-es-users .es-avatar {
line-height: 0 !important;
}

Hey Ezrul, that was amazing!! Thank you so much..

The fix for recent users avatar worked but after sometime it didn't. Upon checking, I found that the following css was overwriting the line-height so I had to comment out the "line-height" property in => /modules/mod_easysocial_users/styles/style.min.css

div#fd.es.mod-es-users .es-avatar {
background: #fff !important;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
/* line-height: 40px !important; */
overflow: hidden !important;
border-radius: 2px !important;
}


Now it works!! :D

Can you please give me little more direction with this?? I checked the code in the file you mentioned but can't figure out which line of code corresponds to the Upload Photo icon, Video icon, link, events etc. This is important to me since the upload photo and video icons are not visible on mobile devices until we click on the down arrow button in the story box to see all the icons.

Hi Sky,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as we have being overwhelmed by the support ever since the release of easysocial 1.4.

Can you please give me little more direction with this?? I checked the code in the file you mentioned but can't figure out which line of code corresponds to the Upload Photo icon, Video icon, link, events etc. This is important to me since the upload photo and video icons are not visible on mobile devices until we click on the down arrow button in the story box to see all the icons.

Firstly you need to understand that our support policy does not include customization request as stated here, http://stackideas.com/support . We are picky on customization jobs because if it takes too much of our time in order to implement it.

By the way back to your question, the icon is hide in mobile view using css selector and its not entirely related with php file. You can try to apply the following css hack in order to make the icon appear in mobile view,
div#fd.es.w320 .es-story-panel-buttons .es-story-panel-button:nth-child(5) {
display: inline-block;
}

div#fd.es.w320 .es-story-panel-buttons .es-story-panel-button:nth-child(8) {
display: inline-block;
}
