Hello. I'm starting to bring GROUPS into my site.

Do I recall there is a way to control which of the default widgets show in the sidebar? If so, can you help me with how to do it?

For example on the 'Group Category' layout - the sidebar has "Random Groups", "Random Members" and "Random ALbums" widgets. Can I turn those off?
If you only want to remove that random group widget, then you have to modify on this file JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/groups/category/about.php

Then override into this file location :
JoomlaFolder/templates/yourCurrentTemplate/html/com_easysocial/groups/category/about.php

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

Unfortunately that is no setting for this, but you can modify on this file
JoomlaFolder/modules/mod_easysocial_sidebar/tmpl/group_category.php

Then override into your current template file location.
JoomlaFolder/templates/yourCurrentTemplate/html/mod_easysocial_sidebar/group_category.php

you can check my attached screenshot below how to achieve this.

Oops - sorry - a bit more help needed... I tried removing the items from the array - and the module content disappeared but the boxes with the headings stayed (eg "Random Groups")

I've reverted my change to how things were. If you look at mysite.com/ sports you'll see I've added the ES module called "Random Picks" because I prefer the fact that gives the interactive "JOIN" option to people... but now I want to remove the duplicate default "Random Groups" bit... can you guide me on the code change to do that?
