Hi Guys,

Few points going around:

a) The language custom fields shows my language as : English (United Kingdom) and French (fr-FR). Is ES adding the (XXX) or its something from the site ? Doesn't look too good when I'm in Canada and it says English (United Kingdom) and same from the french perspective lololll I think it shall only be as English and French

b) Shortcut to access the language ? Is there a general $my->getVar('lang','en') like in Joomla (similarly with a setVar) ?
$my = Foundry::user();
echo $my->getLang(); ?!?!?

c) How to turn the widget off for a user custom field on profile ? No use to show in the Header the gender, url etc... I have looked around but hummm I might be just crazy hehehe this shall be (like update for search or privacy being just below) triggerable.

d) When will you add a little bit of info (documentation) on JS MVC or CSS ?

e) Voice page: Add EVENT as a type of voice entry, remove 1.3 tag since it's already there

f) Roadmap: Is this being updated ? Updated with the new accepted voices ? Just trying to plan my own development accordingly.
Hi,

Just duplicate the folder Wireframe, and the backend Themes will automatically detect a new theme. However, you will notice that it will show as the same name. To change the name of the duplicated theme, just edit the file wireframe-2/config/template.json

Hi,

1. I don't quite understand what you mean here. How is it showing 2 different language at the same time in the field?
2. There are a few fallbacks to this but a fullproof one would be $my->getParam('language', JFactory::getLanguage()->getTag()) where it first checks if the user has a language set, if not then it falls back to the site's language.
3. This is under backend -> EasySocial -> Themes -> Profile
4. We are currently in progress of revamping our documentation page. I can't provide you a concrete ETA for this though.
5. We will come back to the voices page once we are done with other priority tasks.
6. We are currently in progress of finishing up EasyBlog 5, and once that is done, we will then come back to the roadmap to plan for EasySocial 1.4.

Hey Fast one Jason : )

Here is a screen of the language from Profile-Edit page. You might understand more clearly what I mean. The language name is, up to me, wrong.

I know you are busy, just making sure, as everybody does, to keep you busy hehehe

EDIT: While i was looking at the Theme option (which greatly increased, great!), I saw i could turn off COVER. Is there a PHP code to trigger it back for a specific Profile category ? Or these options in general.

Hi,

1. The language list is generated by Joomla actually and is following the list generated at backed -> User Manager -> User -> Frontend Language, and also backend -> Language Manager. There are a few types of English, with the default being en-GB, which means English - Great Britain, or in other words, United Kingdom. en-US is English - America and so on. In fact if you were to check: http://community.joomla.org/translations/joomla-3-translations.html, there is a French Canada, as well as English Canada. You will have to install those languages for the language selection option to show.

2. You can set the profile to use which theme, and in this case, the theme settings will only applied to that profile.

Hi Jason,

I update the custom fields to add an extra choice. Now it is working without any twitch in Joomla.

Would be nice to be OEM on next version.
