First, I'm not a Joomla user though I have installed it once but never use it. It's workflow confuses me until now
.
I would like to buy EasySocial and Easy Discuss but I have the following questions:
1) I'll install Joomla on my root domain (
mydomain.ext) but I want that the EasySocial frontpage (
http://demo.stackideas.com/) will appear there, is it possible?
2) In the homepage, I would like to include activity stream from Easy Discuss, such as "
username posted a new topic", "
user replied to xxx topic", etc., possible?
3) In the homepage, I would like to have a block of "Latest Forum Topics", "Most Replied Forum Topics", "Unanswered Forum Topics", "Most Voted Topcis", "Top Posters", etc. Let's say I want to have 10 for each, is it possible?
4) Can the URL
/easydiscuss be easily change to
/custom_forum_url
5) I would like that the
/easydiscuss default content is the list of categories (
just like the traditional forums), possible?
6) What will happen to the native Joomla registration form if I install EasySocial/EasyDiscuss, will it be replaced by these extension's own registration form?
7) In Joomla, there's already a User Manager but in EasySocial/EasyDiscuss there's also another User Manager. What's the difference on it? What if I edit a user in Joomla's User Manager, will it reflect in EasySocial/EasyDiscuss too? Or vice-versa?
8) In the demo, there are two users list:
http://demo.stackideas.com/easysocial/browse-people and
http://demo.stackideas.com/easydiscuss/users Is it possible to have only one users list?
9) Why are the two users list have different data?
http://demo.stackideas/easysocial/browse-people has only 5 while
http://demo.stackideas.com/easydiscuss/users has different users. Are users not tightly integrated between these two extensions?
10) There are also two user profiles/account options for a single user,i.e.:
http://demo.stackideas.com/profile and
http://demo.stackideas.com/easydiscuss/easydiscuss-profile/profile/ashley
http://demo.stackideas.com/profile/edit and
http://demo.stackideas.com/easydiscuss/easydiscuss-profile/profile/edit
Is it possible to have only one profile page and account settings/options?
11) There seems to be other duplicates such as
http://demo.stackideas.com/easysocial/conversation and
http://demo.stackideas.com/easydiscuss/conversation, would like to make it as one as well.
