Hi,

The "Share What's New" is the same message displayed in Dashboard story/stream as in Groups [attachment]. Is it possible to have different message displayed in Dashboard vs. Groups? Ex. "Share with friends..." in Dashboard vs. "Share in your group..." in Groups...or something like that. Not sure if it's simply the Language strings that need change.

Thx.
Hey Juz,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Unfortunately there is no way to have different language strings unless you tweak the theme file in /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/story/default.php

You probably want to do some checking like this,


<?php if (JRequest::getVar('view') == 'dashboard') { ?>
<?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYSOCIAL_STORY_PLACEHOLDER'); ?>
<?php } ?>

<?php if (JRequest::getVar('view') == 'group') { ?>
<?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYSOCIAL_STORY_PLACEHOLDER_GROUP'); ?>
<?php } ?>

Thanks Mark.

We made the edits as per attachment. We tried the code block for IE 9 as well as for Chrome etc. It doesn't display any text inside the box. We've put the text for COM_EASYSOCIAL_STORY_PLACEHOLDER_GROUP in language override file. Looks like we didn't implement the code block correctly and need help.

Thanks for helping out Mark. The issue is resolved in main dashboard and in group message (once the user clicks through to be inside the group).

However, in relation to my other post on "Redirection to Groups Page Directly From Dashboard". How do we change the message when a user clicks on group link from the main dashboard. The stream will change to the one of the group, however the status message doesn't change just yet. It does change once the user clicks again and is inside the group page. Appreciate pointers to what file we need to edit to accomplish this?

Cheers!

Hey Juz,

Unfortunately this requires more hacks on the file and our support policy does not cover customizations. It is the same file that you need to apply the hacks on.
