Hey there,

could you please explain the app filters of the stream? I have them activated but i.e. when I filter for achievements, the newest one take hours until they get shown there. It is like the filter has a very long reaction time. Is that the normal behaviour? The forumtopic filter even misses some topics completely. I can not figure out any regularity in these filters so far.

Referring to the icons, I could not find a way to modify these. Usually I search for the image and just replace it, but the icons behave any other way I could not find out.
Hey Sabih,

Hm, it should not take that long unless you have thousands of data but app filters basically means that it allows you to sift through items that you want to see rather than seeing everything

Not yet... growing to get there, but not yet that much posts. At least it seems to work more or less.

Could you please give me a starting point for the icons so I can modify them to fit to my site design? I have no clue where to search since these are no images.

Hello Sabih,

You can use css to override the icons.

E.g.:
To override Achievements icons from crown shape to home shape.
http://screencast.com/t/g1ugwmpiai

You can insert css codes below into your stylesheets. It means enforce .ies-crown to load \e001 (home icons code)
body div#fd.es .es-app-favicon .ies-crown:before {
content: "\e001";
}

Result: http://screencast.com/t/SvByzRbxBhJe

The icons content codes at /media/com_easysocial/styles/icons-es.less

And here is the preview for those icons http://screencast.com/t/oIIwtWMD


p/s: We are no longer using icons-es and the icons for filters has been removed in version 1.4.

Thank you very much for your explanation.

If I understand you right, I can modify the icons now but not for anything I like but only for the icons being inside the file you linked? Or can I insert new icons/images to that file with a definition and easily call them by css?

Hello Sabih,

If the icons is font type base you can only replace the icons with font type only.

E.g.:
If your site loaded Fontawesome icons sets and need to replace our icons you can use css to override it.

body div#fd.es .es-app-favicon .ies-crown {
font-family: FontAwesome;
}
body div#fd.es .es-app-favicon .ies-crown:before {
content: "\f015";
}

Hey,

need to comeback to this thread unfortunately. I have updated to 1.4.1 yesterday, at least the icons are gone now. But I need to say that the app filter do not work anymore.

I have one poll in the stream but when going for the appfilter polls it does say that there are no polls yet. Same for the EasyBlog items. I have some new blog entries but only 2 weeks+ old blog articles were shown inside the filter. The newest ones do not appear when I go for filter.

Weird thing is, that on my backup site the polls filter does work but the EasyBlog filter neither. I have put login information down below if you want to check. It is the backup site so no problem about posting and testing.

Hey Sabih,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is actually a public day off for us here. Can you please start a new thread on our forums and also provide us with the necessary steps on how we can reproduce this issue on the site?
