Hi everybody,
EasySocial is such a great component, but why isn´t there any usefull template out there that can be used? Why is EasySocial so unbelievable limited to the personal taste StackIdeas has?
Let me explain you what I mean:
1. Your templates "Wanderers" and "Elegant" are nearly the same. I see no difference exzept of the colors. And ... they are bouth built as "Joomla-Templates" and not as "EasySocial-Templates". I personaly love the JoomlaShine-Templates, sometimes I also use Rockettheme or Joomlart. Compared with them, Wanderers and Elegang seem like a nacked thing, tooo plain.
When I like to keep a nice template from another provider, I am limited to frosty, wireframe, dark or Elegant as real Easysocial-themes. And even in them ... I see nearly no difference. dark is dark, okay. But the rest looks nearly the same.
2. The most terrible thing in the EasySocial-Templates is the all-white-with-thin-lines-thing. It is really difficult to orientate in that community-template. There is nearly no chance to find out, where a stream-item ends and the next one starts. Look at the picture:
Something like a light background-color in the stream-items, a light grey would be enough, or a light shadow on the boxes, or a light grey in the background behind the stream-items, all of this would help in having a cleaner layout. But where is a new template? The four inbuilt-templates are the same since an endless time and I can´t find any theme anywhere. Since a long while I am hoping for new developements, maybe from other providers, that add buttons to the stream-items, colors, options and all of that. Just think about your like-buttons in the stream-itmes: They are no buttons. Some prefer text, some prefer buttons ... but there are no options and no templates, that make it possible to switch them.
3. The same about the navbar. I would love to use the navbar, but how??? There is no template it would fit in. The ES-Navbar is blue or black. That´s it. And there is no way to have it somehow integrated in a different template then yours.
You have all potential: The drop-down-menu in combiantion with the notification-icons are looking great on EVERY website, not only on yours. Watch the top right corner on this image:
Looks great? Yes! And it does not destroy my layout, it is totally neutral and matches to any template I can imagine. But ... why the hell have you added a normal Joomla-Menu in the dropdown-menu and not the EasySocial-Menu? This makes so totally zero sense to me. You have the drop-down-menu ready, you only would have to populate it with the same menu-items as in the ES-Navbar ... but you don´t do it. Yes, sure, I could rebuilt it in Joomla. But it is not the same: The layout of the ES-Navbar-Dropdown is much nicer then it could be done manually. So why the hell do you focus on a navbar that does not work for other templates?
Can you please, please, please have a viel on the layout and maybe add some DIFFERENT templates to be used with Easysocial? I don´t mean Joomla-templates, I mean templates ONLY for Easysocial, that can be used in combination with a different Joomla-template? This would be so immense helpfull.
All the best, Julian!
