When accessing the user's dashboard/timeline page BEFORE they login there is a random username displayed in the menu breadcrumbs.

It's not a major issue but it gives the user the impression that something is wrong.
Hey there,

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

The reason why it still showing wrong breadcrumb path is because you have enabled cache from global configuration.

So when someone view any other page (without Easysocial page), it will definitely cached it and always display wrong path in the breadcrumb.

I already help you set this breadcrumb module no longer cache it, you can check my attached screenshot below.

So it will always display "Dashboard" for the guest user on the user dashboard page.

Hey Peter,

I've applied some fix into this file -> JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/views/dashboard/view.html.php

So whoever access guest user dashboard page, it will always show 'dashboard' from the breadcrumb.

Thanks Arlex,

I reads 'Groups' now which is better.

Will I need to save and replace that file each time there's an update?

Still not working I'm afraid.

Random username (or even a random photo album title) still showing on dashboard before a user logs in.

Hi Peter,

Not sure how to replicate this, I've go to your community page seems it doesn't render random username/album name http://take.ms/Jaz1pE
Perhaps, I've replicate the issue wrongly. Can you provide us the steps to reproduce it, perhaps with some screenshots could be great

Looks like you have replicated it, your screenshots says 'Events'

I just checked that page again without being logged in and it says 'cavvy' which is a random username.
