Hello James,

Not really sure if I understand you here. Would you be able to provide us with a screen shot of what you are trying to achieve here?

Here is a quick video: http://screencast.com/t/0woLDjOAu

Basically, when you login and view the "My Profile" link the first thing that loads is the user timeline. Instead of the timeline loading I want to load the "About" information.

Thanks,
James

Hello James,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. The fastest way to achieve this is to "simulate" the click on the "About" link. You can download the attached file and upload it into /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/profile/

This is not one of the best solution because if the site is slow, it'll look like the site is "navigating" by itself but this only takes 1 line of code to achieve this. If you want to do this on the PHP end, it is much more tricky.

See related voices request

same thing is important for events... for most users the event detail is way more important and what they want to see rather than the timeline... it would be easier simpler and more user friendly to show details then timeline... no need for extra complexity of separate links which are often missed?? my users are always asking questions because they cant see the detail!

Andy,

As a temporary fix, I've included the following in the item.header.php file (also attached screen-shot):

	<!-- Event Description -->

	<div class="event_desc">

            <?php if (!empty($event->description)) { ?>

                <?php echo $this->html('string.truncate', nl2br(strip_tags($event->description)), 350); ?>

            <?php } ?>

	</div>

	<!-- END Event Description -->

Does it not exist already for profile, group and events in SETTING-DEFAULT DISPLAY ? (timeline or about)

Maybe it don't understand dho

Alexandre - You are right! They must have squeezed that into latest release. I didn't spot it in the changelogs.

I really think we need to chant the "Easy" mantra and have DETAIL and TIMELINE on one view. DETAIL first, TIMELINE below. Let's not complicate things by having separate links which the casual user will typically miss. Avoid the unnecessary clicking and visitor-frustration... bang, just put all the info up there. Right now with events, the detail content replicates the majority (but not the important description!) of the event header... way too much duplicate info presented... it needs a bit of an cosmetic overhaul.... anyone agree / disagree?

..and thanks Justin for the hack. I'll use that to achieve what I think should be the default events view.... the nice compact info provided in the header, then the description (courtesy of the hack), then the timeline.

Hey that's perfect...

My only remaining issues (raised elsewhere) are the inability to have HTML content and the inability to add files that non-logged in users can access from the 'Share What's New' box.

@Andy, separate feature for separate voices so that it doesn't get clouded in forum posts, especially support posts.
