Thanks for the input on this, it is much appreciated!

Hi Mark

What is the chance that it will be implemented in the next updates? Especially with the many open display errors in the template, a update is a good idea.

Best regards

Hey Miso,

We actually already combine those Easyblog and Easydiscuss toolbar menu link into Easysocial toolbar, you can take a look of my attached screenshot below.

So you no longer need to display Easyblog and Easydiscuss toolbar on the pages.

Hi Arlex,
there are missing the points "Calendar" (blog) and "badges" and support offline/online (discuss).

The buttons "Create a new Post/Blog" invite significantly more to write than anywhere in a menu on the second / third view. You have wonderfully solved it in the Vanilla template. I miss that most.

It's just a faster/easier and even more familiar with the socialtoolbar.. and just for forums (start / recent / categories) the eye just looks for it.


I'll try it without a toolbar or at least adjust it ;-)

Hello Miso,

Firstly, thank you for your idea / suggestions. Although your idea / suggestions may be good, we cannot guarantee that your idea / suggestion will be implemented as we also have other customers who prefer how it works currently. It doesn't mean that your idea is bad, we just need to weigh in all options.

Also, as mentioned by my colleague, we already combined them into the existing toolbar of EasySocial so that we do not have redundant toolbars. Having said that, we will definitely weigh in options on your suggestions

Hi Mark

Thank you very much for your detailed answer. I adapted the toolbars and found a solution for me.

There are only two small obstacles:


1) Unfortunately easyblog (easydiscuss works) does not offer the option to remove the "More Settings" button in the toolbar.

2) Easydiscuss> Settings > Layout> Toolbar

The item "Show Users" has no function. After switching off, it will still be displayed in the toolbar.


Thanks for the excellent support and have a nice day

1) Unfortunately easyblog (easydiscuss works) does not offer the option to remove the "More Settings" button in the toolbar.

We will consider to add a setting to disable that "More setting" from the toolbar in next version.
For now you can remove this code from this file JoomlaFolder/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.php

Yes, it is a bug, we will address this in next release version.

For now you can modify on this file JoomlaFolder/components/com_easydiscuss/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.php
