Howdy all!

I have the ES Toolbar Module set on the left side of my site (Seen in the picture below). Probably is that the Popbox goes outside the site and is aligned to the left. Now I recall a year+ ago I was able to change the alignment before but for the life of me I can't find what code I modified to achieve this. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks!
Hello Fred,

You can go to these files:
components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.conversations.php
components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.friends.php
components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.notifications.php

and change this part:


data-popbox-position="<?php echo JFactory::getDocument()->getDirection() == 'rtl' ? 'bottom-right' : 'bottom-left';?>"

to


data-popbox-position="bottom-left"


Please give it a try.

Hey Fred,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

Can you provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can better have a look?

By the way, in the future you can just include your site's access once at http://stackideas.com/dashboard/site rather than needing to keep adding them in your replies

Nik,

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, its been well over a year since I've messed with any coding and ES. Also I recalled its also best to not modify the raw file but create duplicates and place them in

templates/<template-name>/html/com_easysocial/<folder-name>/file.php

One last question in regards to this topic. I can't seem to find the popbox for the Square Menu and the Profile/Settings Gear menu.

Arlex,

Thanks for the tip on storing a username and pw for you guys to log in. When I created this post, I have yet to create you guys a custom login yet since its a new server. I will go ahead and do that shortly

Hello Fred,

The Profile/settings menu, please replace the attached file in: ../components/com_easysocial/themes/elegant/toolbar/default.profile.php As you can see on line 19, I've added style="right:-40;" You can move the box by changing the right value.

As for the Square menu, replace the attached file (default.php) in ../components/com_easysocial/themes/elegant/toolbar/default.php and in this file on line 21, there is additional style="left:40px;" You can adjust the alignment there.

Hope this helps.
