Hi,

I am looking to make customisation similar to those described by a user in the ticket (https://stackideas.com/forums/how-to-control-dashboard-view) to the Easysocial dashboard.

I have looked for the option to set the dashboard options using EasySocial > Themes > [Choose default theme] > Dashboard tab. However, I can't find this in the Themes section of Easysocial on the backend. The only options available within Themes are to 'edit theme files' or 'add a theme as default'

Could you please help?

Thanks
Shekhar Borker
Hi Shekhar,
Can you specify what exactly you want to change in the dashboard view? The forum post link you provided is based on an older version of EasySocial, which is why the settings are not there anymore.
For settings, some can be configured in Settings>Users>Layout.
Other than that, generally the dashboard view can be modified by template overriding this file: JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/dashboard/default/default.php

Hi Raymond,

Thanks for the helpful response. Settings>Users>Layout helped me make some changes that I required.

I am looking to perform the following customisation to the sidebar:

1. Load a selected list of items that a user can access through 'discover' subsection under the toolbar profile menu (groups, events, pages, etc.)

2. Against each of the items in the list I would like to display a custom icon


Could you also point me in the direction of Easysocial documentation that covers the topic of template overriding files?

Thanks,
Shekhar Borker.

Hey Shekhar,
You're welcome Shekhar.
You can template override the dashboard file which was mentioned in my earlier reply.
Unfortunately, we cannot help you with the customization as it is beyond our support scope's policy as outlined in http://stackideas.com/support

Having said that, if you require us to perform the customization for you, you can always request for a quote from us at https://crm.stackideas.com and select "Customizations" . Our sales person would be glad to send you a quote for the customization that you have requested.
