Hi,

I Would like to edit timelime sidebar menu.

For example.
- Edit links. I would like the menu “group” to be linked to the group’s page and not to the timeline of the group.
- Make "discussion" move visible
- etc.

Can you tell me how to do?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Bob,

I can guide you for these two only.
- Edit links. I would like the menu “group” to be linked to the group’s page and not to the timeline of the group.
- Make "discussion" move visible

But can you elaborate more on it. which group and discussion your are referring to?

Thank you.

Currently the menu is related to the "Recent Updates" group. I want the link to be one of the group's home page.
For the discussion, I would like the discussions to be listed under Groups, before the events.

How should I do it?
Thank you.

Bob

Hello Bob,

For the link, please replace the attached file in: ../components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/dashboard/sidebar.groups.php.

As for the discussion, I'm sorry but I can't see any discussion here: http://screencast.com/t/DlY6nWIBxW .

Hello.

Thank you very much Nick, the link work very goods with the new php.
As this is a file in a theme, that he happens if there is a ugrade? Is that file will remain as it is?

For discussions. You're right, there is no discussion and this is the problem. I would like the discussions appear in the sidebar menu, below the groups.

Best Regards,

Bob

Hey Bob,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Firstly, please understand that customizations are not supported by us.

You are responsible to create a template override for this file instead. You can do so by creating the folder /templates/[JOOMLA_TEMPLATE]/html/com_easysocial/groups/

Hello Mark.

I understand your support and customizations policy.
Can you introduce me to someone (a company or freelance) who did this work?

Thank you!

Bob

Hey Bob,

We actually have had bad experiences recommending 3rd party to our customers because if the 3rd party messes up, we get all the fingers pointed at us

If your customizations are not too big, you can always get in touch with us at https://crm.stackideas.com/index.php and request for customization quote

Hello,

Hello,

I would like to make a series of changes, mainly for site navigation.
Testers use the site for a few weeks, and almost all have difficulty to “understand.” Me too, there are a lot of “stuff” that I do not understand. The idea would be to simplify the site for maximum ease of use.

Communicating with friends is pretty simple. for the rest I would like to focus on

1. Groups 2.1 Events 2.2. Discussions

Other elements may be used when site is in use.

Modifications

1. “Member” menu
Not many changes, otherwise delete “Applications”


2. The “Timeline” menu

2.1. There is a lot of confusion between “Bookmarks” and “Pinned items”. We must remove one of the two.
2.2 The filter menu is misunderstood, I would delete it.
2.3. The event menu should report events for me. Three or five events (and a “more” link) listing in the order
- Events in which I participate
- Events groups to which I belong
- Nearby Events
2.4. No “Applications” menu
2.5. I would like a “Discussion” menu, on the same principle (2.3)


3. The group menu

3.1. Remove “Add Filter”
3.2. For me, “Filter by Aps” and “Applications” are redundant.
I want to create a menu (whose name remains to find, “Tools” perhaps) which lists the proper tools to the group.
- Discussion
- Events
- Others


4. The Events menu

4.1. Same as for the timeline menu (3.2). A “Tools” menu
- Discussion
- Calendar
- Map



I know that this is customisation of the system. Tell me what to do to get a quote.

Before proceeding to the modification of the system, I would like to know your opinion about my proposals. There are many things that I do not master the system.

Thanks for your help.

Bob

Hello Bob,

In my opinion, it is a bit complicated to change based on your requirement. However, you can post them on our sales section at https://crm.stackideas.com and our sales department would get back to you with a proper quote.
