I am trying to add a little markup to my theme.

I want to add the description to the bottom of a group category in the group create process.
I have found the file

/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/groups/create/default.php

I have created an override in:

/templates/mytemplate/html/com_easysocial/groups/create/default.php

and added my markup. Nothing changed.

I tested I had created the override in the correct place(documentation very weak on manually doing this) by using the override system in the UI.
Override file was created in the same place and I can see my markup changes in the UI.
Still nothing changes on my site.

Any suggestions?
Cheers
Gary
Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

Are you referring this group select category page? http://take.ms/eCKph

If yes, this is the correct file JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/clusters/create/default.php , group/page select category page will use the same theme file.

so you have to override into this file location under your current template JoomlaFolder/templates/mytemplate/html/com_easysocial/clusters/create/default.php

Hope this will help.

Hi Arlex,
Thanks for response over the weekend. I wasn't expecting anything until today!
I found the file, can you explain what is the difference between groups and clusters?

You're most welcome.

Actually I checked in my locally, we no longer have this file (JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/groups/create/default.php) in Easysocial 2.x.

The current code, it will always point to this file now JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/clusters/create/default.php.

In Easysocial clusters mean is referring group, event and page.

Arlex,
Rather than leaving unused files, could orphaned files be removed through an install script?

Failing that can I find a list of removeables somewhere?

Hey Gary,

Actually we have a script to remove those unused file for example when the user upgrade Easysocial from 2.1 to 2.2 .

It might be we missed up to remove this unused file from the older version.

If you would like to remove those unused file, i think for now the best is uninstall Easysocial from your site backend, so it will remove those Easysocial folder/file immediately, then you can re-install back Easysocial, so it will copy those latest file on your site.

Note: when you uninstall Easysocial on the site, it will not remove your existing data and make sure you have do the full backup before you proceed this.
