I just purchased the Group EasyDiscuss App and set up my first group with EasySocial. I have a few questions:
Can I change the order of a groups menu items and the name of the menu items. I found that I could turn some menu tiems on or off. In my example at this page:
https://www.drcarney.com/club/groups/4-type-1-diabetes-support/250-easydiscuss
Under the More down arrow there are items like Feeds, Files, etc.. down to Easydiscuss.

1) I would like to change the name of EasyDiscuss to something more like Discussions.

2) I would like to change the order and if possible have the Discussions link show up on the main bar next to where the Timeline, About, Members and Albums links show up. I know I can turn on the regular discussions and have it show up here but I want to use EasyDiscuss discussions instead.

3) I noticed that the Group is creating forum posts in my EasyDiscuss section at https://www.drcarney.com/talk/groups which I like. However, when clicking on the Recent Discussions menu these items are NOT displayed. Could they be?

4) Is it possible to move a couple of my previous EasyBlog discussions into this EasySocial group as Discussions as well. In the case of my Type 1 Diabetes Support group we just set up there are a couple of discussions that would fit there very well.

I think that is probably too many questions for now so I will stop now and await your answers.

Thank you, Sean
I already applied some fix into the same file, it should work fine now.

Hey there,

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

1) I would like to change the name of EasyDiscuss to something more like Discussions.



APP_EASYDISCUSS_GROUP_TITLE="Easydiscuss"

You can override this language constant translation from your backend > extension > language > override , and override this translation to frontend and backend as well.

2) I would like to change the order and if possible have the Discussions link show up on the main bar next to where the Timeline, About, Members and Albums links show up. I know I can turn on the regular discussions and have it show up here but I want to use EasyDiscuss discussions instead.

Unfortunately currently that is no setting for this yet, if you urgent to need this, you can download my attached file and put into your template override file location -> JoomlaFolder/templates/yourCurrentTemplate/html/com_easysocial/helpers/cover/group.php

3) I noticed that the Group is creating forum posts in my EasyDiscuss section at https://www.drcarney.com/talk/groups which I like. However, when clicking on the Recent Discussions menu these items are NOT displayed. Could they be?

By default, the recent discussion view doesn't include those group discussion, it only appear on the group view under Easydiscuss.

4) Is it possible to move a couple of my previous EasyBlog discussions into this EasySocial group as Discussions as well. In the case of my Type 1 Diabetes Support group we just set up there are a couple of discussions that would fit there very well.

Perhaps you can elaborate more details regarding this which Easyblog discussion you would like to put into Easysocial group as discussion?

I added the file group.php that you gave me in the path you provided and it worked except that I think it may be linking to the wrong place. It added a link that took me to https://www.drcarney.com/club/groups/4-type-1-diabetes-support/233-

I was expecting it to take me to the following url:

https://www.drcarney.com/club/groups/4-type-1-diabetes-support/250-easydiscuss

That is the where the link took me too before using this file.
