Hey guys, I want to simplify the Groups on my site, there´s a few things I want to do and don´t know why, hope you can help me.

Is all about the column on the left (image1)

1- On the "Menu" section I want to have only the "details" and "timeline" options I want to hide "Add filter", "Pending posts" and "Filter by apps" wich includes the Photos and Updates.

2- I want to delete the "Applications" title, and leave it untitled. Is it possible to put the "Members" "Announcements" and "Polls" into the "Menu" section above? if its not I will be happy just leaving it untitled.

Thank you guys!
hey Adrian,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

1- On the "Menu" section I want to have only the "details" and "timeline" options I want to hide "Add filter", "Pending posts" and "Filter by apps" wich includes the Photos and Updates.

I have disable it from backend Easysocial theme settings, you can see the output here -> http://screencast.com/t/FBhtl761KC

2- I want to delete the "Applications" title, and leave it untitled.

Unfortunately we do not have option to disable this Application title, but you have remove this from this file JoomlaFolder\components\com_easysocial\themes\optimum\dashboard\sidebar.apps.php

// LINE 17
<?php echo JText::_( 'COM_EASYSOCIAL_APPS_SIDEBAR_TITLE' );?>

// LINE 21
+<?php echo JText::_( 'COM_EASYSOCIAL_BROWSE' ); ?>



Is it possible to put the "Members" "Announcements" and "Polls" into the "Menu" section above?
if its not I will be happy just leaving it untitled.

You have to modify on this file -> JoomlaFolder\components\com_easysocial\themes\wireframe\dashboard\default.php, refer on my second screenshot below.

Hello Arlex

Regardin the first thing I asked, I don´t understand you said you already disabled them but I still can see the
Photos
Updates
And I wanted to hide them both.

By the way what´s the difference about discussions and normal posts? I see you can able/disable discussions but don´t know what the effect it means for the users.

Thank you once again!

I've tried to login again with this `Support` user account, it seems like that will not appear that "photo" and "Updates" filter, you can refer on my attached screenshot below.

Perhaps you can provide us with your user account access so we can investigate this again?

By the way what´s the difference about discussions and normal posts? I see you can able/disable discussions but don´t know what the effect it means for the users.

Are you referring Easydiscuss extension?

If yes, may i know what you mean for the normal post? Perhaps you can provide us some screenshot regarding this?

Hi Arlex thanks for your response, my doubt is what "discussions" are in the groups?

If I disable the "discussions" on a group category, people can still post and comment on other people posts, I guessed that was the discussion, but if it´s not what do you mean when you talk about discussions?

Can you please provide me a screenshot of what a discussion is? I guess I´m missing something here. Very sorry about that.

By the way is it me or there it used to be an option when you post on a group to share a link? for example if I want to embed a youtube video on a comment? I don´t find it, maybe I´m wrong but I think it was there before and maybe I have disabled it unintentionally.

Thanks for your time guys.

Hey Adrian,

You're welcome.
Ahh, nope, what I mentioned above is Easydiscuss.
It seems like you are referring group discussion.

If I disable the "discussions" on a group category, people can still post and comment on other people posts, I guessed that was the discussion, but if it´s not what do you mean when you talk about discussions?

Can you please provide me a screenshot of what a discussion is? I guess I´m missing something here. Very sorry about that.

May i know which group still allow people comment their discussion? By right, it should not allow when you disable "discussion" from the group.

By the way is it me or there it used to be an option when you post on a group to share a link? for example if I want to embed a youtube video on a comment? I don´t find it, maybe I´m wrong but I think it was there before and maybe I have disabled it unintentionally.

Yes, It seems like you already disabled these video app for user/group/event from backend > Easysocial > application page, you can refer on my attached screenshot below.

Hi Arlex,

I think I didn´t explain myself right in here, I´ve been talking about the groups all the way, what I wanted to hide (as you can see in the first screenshot I sent you is on the menu on the left when you are inside a group) and I think you´ve been working in other places that´s why it didn´t work.

Please go in to some of the groups created and see that like I told you above thos options are still there.

Regarding the discussions is this a discussion on a group? (image3) Because I don´t understand why there is an option to enable or disable discussions on a group, If it is not, what is that you call discussions when you create a group? I guess I´m still missing something here.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Adrian,

We are sorry for the confusion here. Please find my answers from your inquiries below.

1- On the "Menu" section I want to have only the "details" and "timeline" options I want to hide "Add filter", "Pending posts" and "Filter by apps" wich includes the Photos and Updates.

You can disable Photos filter by going to your backend > easysocial > applications > filter -select group- by "goups" > photos and disable the apps. However I'm afraid it is not possible to turn off "updates" filter as the filter is coming directly from "story" apps in which are responsible for displaying story stream inside the group.

Regarding the discussions is this a discussion on a group? (image3) Because I don´t understand why there is an option to enable or disable discussions on a group, If it is not, what is that you call discussions when you create a group?

The discussions applications is actually a separate system inside the group that allow user to create a discussion by clicking on 'discussions' filter as you can see from my example screenshot here, http://screencast.com/t/xXWLNW9A .

Hope these can clear up the confusion that you have here.
