this is a continuation from https://stackideas.com/forums/show-album-description-in-groups-sorting-albums

Previously, Raymond assisted with showing the description on albums on the dashboard, for my site, this is very important and I need users to be able to see the album descriptions on the group, and main dashboards.

Since the refactoring, the files used have no effect, so I assume they are no longer used by ES2. can you please direct me to which files I need to edit in order to create overrides please?
Hi Dennis Lloyd,

Ah my bad. Attached is the updated file and it will fix your above issue
Please give it a try again.

Hi Dennis Lloyd,

In EasySocial 2.0 we've refactored almost every theme files and now the file that display the group's albums / photos streams located at 'JOOMLA/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/stream/photos.php'

To override this file, create the below folder structure in your Joomla template:



YOUR_JOOOMLA_TEMPLATE/html/com_easysocial/stream/


and copy the attached photos.php file into the above folder. The attached photos.php will display album description if the albums belong to a group.

Hope this help and have a nice day!

Sam, Fantastic thank you very much.. There is one issue. When photos are posted as a stream update I see COM_EASYSOCIAL_ALBUMS_STORY_PHOTOS_DESC in place of where the description would be (there is no description as it isn't an album)

I attached a screenshot.

Perfect, thank you very much. I love the automatic override creation from the backend. Makes things much easier.
