Hi Stackideas team,

the EasySocial, EB, ED there is a app menu swipe for apps like EasySocial where you swipe to get menu links to these apps like videos, photos, audio etc.

How can you override these settings so these app menus shows up in like (two) rows that you see immediately instead making an override ?

I want to see these easy (UX/UI) for end users so they see this directly instead of not understanding that they should the swipe to get there.

As more and more 80% now is focused with users accessing the site by mobile/mobile app it have to be easy to use and understandable..

Thks
If you have access to those other native apps from mobile, you will realize most of the app already implement this kind of swiper effect if the app owner wants to display some certain menu or product on the page because for the design-wise this swiper effect will be very helpful.

Of course, I also understand some of the users might need more time to get used to it, if you would like to display all the menu without requiring the user to swiper, you can try to download my attached file then put this file into your current template override file location.

JoomlaFolder/templates/yourCurrentTemplate/html/com_easysocial/helpers/cover/navigation.php

After that, you have to apply the following CSS block of code from your site backend > Easysocial > Theme > custom css


body #es.is-mobile .es-profile-header-nav {
padding-left: 1px;
-webkit-flex-wrap: wrap;
-ms-flex-wrap: wrap;
flex-wrap: wrap;
display: -webkit-inline-box;
}

body #es.is-mobile .es-profile-header-nav__item {
-webkit-justify-content: end;
-ms-justify-content: end;
justify-content: end;
}

hey there,

Are you referring to profile menu navigation area? (screenshot : https://monosnap.com/file/8OPpCbVHR4OiW47oZkyHh9XMWCH8bC )

If yes, do you mean that you would like to display all the menu link in 1 row?

You're welcome ssnobben, but from what I checked, it seems like that is no easier way to make to show 2 rows after we applied this swiper Javascript library into Easysocial 3.x.

If really want to make it show 2 rows for the user profile and the rest of the navigation area, it needed to customize the core file a lot, and that is not worth it to make this changes if you want to keep your site Easysocial up to date.

May i know what is the reason why you would like to make this changes? Is it your site client complain about this?

Ok this is a pity though I believe before that the swipe js would be better but its not its better UX to have two rows of this ES menus

I agree that swiper is not the best UI but it seems to be the most practical right now. We have some ideas floating around and we might change this behavior altogether

we also see a problem in the use of the user menu.
the user menu swipe technique should be rethought, the goal should be a self-explanatory solution. currently it is not.

We don't currently have any alternatives but as I mentioned in my reply, the best work option right now is to implement a swipe as users would be more familiar with such operations even on other apps.

hmm I cant follow you on this Mark..",, as users would be more familiar with such operations even on other apps."

I guess and as you do Mark bcs Stackideas have no UX testing how well or not this works for ES end users. I hope this could be improved if kept bcs as now it is very difficult for users to see/understand that they can swipe and use in this area..

Thks.
