Hi Mark,
Kindly find my response for your inquiries below:
1) I want to delete "NEWS FEED", "CUSTOM FILTERS", "MEMBERS" & "RECENT VIDEOS"
To hide the recent videos and members you can simply disable it in the group applications setting:
**videos>widget>disable Display Widget In Profile:
https://www.screencast.com/t/Gc3Y1b8YOM
**members(group)>widget>disable shows members:
https://www.screencast.com/t/qeQ6iFNR
to hide the 'news feed' and 'custom filter' you can customize it in the file:
JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/groups/item/default.php
by comment out the code:
<div class="es-side-widget">
<?php echo $this->html('widget.title', 'COM_EASYSOCIAL_NEWS_FEED'); ?>
<div class="es-side-widget__bd">
<ul class="o-tabs o-tabs--stacked">
<li class="o-tabs__item <?php echo empty($contents) && empty($context) && empty($filterId) && ($type != 'moderation' && $type != 'hashtag') ? 'active' : '';?>" data-filter-item="feeds" data-type="feeds" data-id="<?php echo $group->id; ?>" data-stream-identifier="<?php echo $stream->getIdentifier(); ?>">
<a href="<?php echo ESR::groups(array('layout' => 'item', 'id' => $group->getAlias(), 'type' => 'timeline')); ?>" class="o-tabs__link">
<?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYSOCIAL_GROUP_TIMELINE'); ?>
<div class="label label-notification pull-right mr-20" data-counter>0</div>
</a>
</li>
<?php if (($group->isAdmin() || $group->isOwner() || $this->my->isSiteAdmin()) && $showPendingPostFilter) { ?>
<li class="o-tabs__item <?php echo $type == 'moderation' ? ' active' : '';?> <?php echo $totalPendingPost ? 'has-notice' : '' ?>" data-filter-item="moderation" data-type="moderation">
<a href="<?php echo ESR::groups(array('layout' => 'item', 'id' => $group->getAlias(), 'type' => 'moderation'));?>" class="o-tabs__link">
<?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYSOCIAL_GROUP_SIDEBAR_PENDING_POSTS'); ?>
<div class="o-tabs__bubble" data-counter><?php echo $totalPendingPost; ?></div>
</a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
<?php if (isset($hashtag) && $hashtag) { ?>
<li class="o-tabs__item active" style="display:none;" data-filter-item="hashtag" data-type="hashtag" data-tag="<?php echo $hashtag ?>" data-id="<?php echo $group->id; ?>" data-stream-identifier="<?php echo $stream->getIdentifier(); ?>">
<div class="o-loader o-loader--sm"></div>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
and
<div class="es-side-widget" data-section data-type="custom-filters">
<?php echo $this->html('widget.title', 'COM_EASYSOCIAL_CUSTOM_FILTERS'); ?>
<div class="es-side-widget__bd">
<div class="es-side-widget__filter">
<ul class="o-tabs o-tabs--stacked" data-section-lists>
<?php if ($filters && count($filters) > 0) { ?>
<?php foreach ($filters as $filter) { ?>
<li class="o-tabs__item <?php echo $filterId == $filter->id ? ' active' : '';?>" class="o-tabs__item" data-filter-item="filters" data-type="filters" data-id="<?php echo $filter->id; ?>" data-stream-identifier="<?php echo $stream->getIdentifier(); ?>">
<a href="<?php echo ESR::groups(array('layout' => 'item', 'id' => $group->getAlias(), 'filterId' => $filter->getAlias()));?>" class="o-tabs__link">
<?php echo $filter->_('title'); ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
<?php if (!$filters) { ?>
<div class="t-text--muted" data-filter-empty>
<?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYSOCIAL_NO_CUSTOM_FILTERS_AVAILABLE'); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ($group->canCreateStreamFilter()) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo ESR::groups(array('layout' => 'item', 'id' => $group->getAlias(), 'type' => 'filterForm')); ?>" class="btn btn-es-default btn-xs t-lg-mt--lg" data-create-filter>
<div class="o-loader o-loader--sm"></div>
+ <?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYSOCIAL_DASHBOARD_FEED_ADD_FILTER'); ?>
</a>
<?php } ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
perhaps, can you download the attached file and replace it and see how it goes?
2) I need to EDIT the APPLICATIONS Menu Item for this GROUP
-> You can edit the applications in the backend setting:
1. Click Applications>filter by group:
https://www.screencast.com/t/GUuG9j7j
3) I need to be able to Create New MODULE POSITIONS for Each of my GROUPS in the Sidebar Menu.
-> Unfortunately there is no setting to create new module position apart from the stated in the documentation here:
https://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/administrators/module-positions/group-page-position
It is a bit difficult for us to help you.
However, you can try customize in this file:
JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/groups/item/default.php
Having said that, if you require us to perform the customization for you, you can always request for a quote from us at
https://crm.stackideas.com and select "Customizations" . Our sales person would be glad to send you a quote for the customizations that you have requested.
