As a user (page admin), it would be quite appreciated to have the ability to add Joomla menu items to the PAGE/GROUP menu (header) which would be rendered in the EasySocial frontend interface (where the stream is). Imagine a world where PAGE admins can use Joomla articles to build their PAGE or GROUP homepage instead of the timeline (wow!).

Is there currently a way to do this ?

Thanks for considering
Danny

hmm I am lost here,,, I dont know what you want to achieve here that you not already can do but a little bit different

What I try to understand is that you want to use Joomlas article system when building pages and groups items?

I think me and maybe others must have some more detailed info and understanding what you want to achieve here..

You can add a ES menu link toolbar to other Joomla component ie Joomla articles or what ever you put a navigation.php file into the template override location which is at JoomlaFolder/templates/yourCurrentTemplate/html/com_easysocial/helpers/cover/navigation.php.

and try to add something like this I did before so I dont know if it works now


<?php if ($this->input->get('view', '', 'cmd') == 'profile') { ?>
<div class="es-profile-header-nav__item <?php echo $active == 'info' || $active == 'about' ? 'is-active' : '';?>" data-es-nav-item>
<a href="https://www.yoururltojoomlamenu,com" class="es-profile-header-nav__link"><span><?php echo JText::_('EStexnametoolbar');?></span></a>
</div>
<?php } ?>

I was hoping to do the contrary here;

In EasySocial, add a Joomla menu item to the ES PAGE (or group) menu. Those added menus would also have to load in the ES content area. With this capability, we could then (as admins), set up an e-commerce extension and simply add the related menu to ES's PAGE/GROUP menus.

For example:
Out of the box; ES page offers a semi manageable menu
Timeline - About - Events - Announcements - Followers ...

I would like to add my own menu here called "Store". It would be a standard Joomla menu item that I have set up to link a category of products for that PAGE (client). If ES would permit this logic, I could even have ACL show that page admin some front end catalogue management menu items ...

This example if for e-commerce but that logic would open the door to ANY third-party tools directly IN ES? It's just a question of allowing the menu items to be managed into ES and have their related content be loaded in the ES content zone.

BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME ;-)

Here's an alternative

Why not add the ability to create Page or Group menus linked to EasyBlog content where the page admin or goup admin could manage the content via the EasyBlog content builder?

See my attached example

I agree about your idea so ES also can make it work with different langauges bcs thats a problem when you create a custom Joomla url within the custom template url there.

I have that working but only for one language but it doesnt work for other langauges in same site though so any solution for that like you suggest is great. see image how it works now but only in english for me.
