How do we edit the sidebar items in the Event Category View? (See attached screenshot)

For example we want it to show:
- Replace Random Events with Upcoming Events (preferably nearest to the user viewing)
- Remove Random Albums
- Replace Random Attendees with (Friends attending events)
Hi James,

Kindly find my response for your inquiries below:
- Replace Random Events with Upcoming Events (preferably nearest to the user viewing)

You can customize in the file
/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/events/category/default.php
by remove the line of code shown: http://take.ms/kbvPMa
However, we do not have upcoming event module at this point of time

- Remove Random Albums

You can remove the code : http://take.ms/yUaiE
in the same file as above.

-Replace Random Attendees with (Friends attending events)

The random attendees widget can be remove in the same file as well in the line of code shown: http://take.ms/MgUbl
by the way, there is no widget for friend attending of specific event at this point of time.

You're suggested to backup the file that you want to customize beforehand for precaution

Thank you.

I had to remove all of them because they don't really make sense in my case. I would consider changing this from a hard coded template setting to be managed by a module or application that allows the site admin more control, possibly adding support for some of my preferred filters above.

Hi James,

Yes, you can add module in that position to replace the existing hardcoded widget
