Hey Henri,

You mean Easysocial sidebar on the user dashboard?

If yes, with the introduction of EasySocial 3.0, we have redesign the dashboard to be as minimalistic as possible, hence the decision was made to convert the sidebar filter to be located at the top section of the dashboard. Refer my screenshot here, http://take.ms/8WxGU . With this approach we can put as many filters as we want without interfering the initial appearance of the dashboard. This can also gave us more spaces in the newsfeed area to open up more design opportunity in the future.

However, worry not as we did not really close the chance for site admin to place a module on the left section of the dashboard area. You can choose which module that you want to display under position es-dashboard-aside .

Hope these help.

Hi Arlex

First of all, THANKS to aswer me during the we : I really appreciate your dedication

I raised a ticket urgentely because my members are confuse.

Just to be clear : here is a screenshot of the past display, with the vertical menu.

1. ideally I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE SAME VERTICAL MENU or can you confirme that it is normal that it is not supported in ES 3.0 ?
2. if yes, how can I explain to my users that they don't loose any capabilities with the new design?

many thanks in advance
Henri

It still support but we already remove that sidebar in Easysocial 3 under user dashboard so the site owner can able to easier re-design what module they would like to display on the user dashboard sidebar area.

1. App type filtering already move to http://take.ms/ww9i1

2. Is it this section is upcoming event ? http://take.ms/0DBzH , If yes, you can display "Easysocial - event module" under this module position es-dashboard-aside

Let me know if you need help with this.

Ok, I am starting to understand.

BUT I want to come back to a simple 2 screens view to help my users to see from the home page, without any click
- a vertical menu with : the latest BLOG, the Coming EVENTS
- a main space with : all discussions between members ... and OK I will happy to use the new filter app

very simple
very useful
as I used during 2 years and with a great feedback from my users ... see my 1st screenshot pls

==

What is not clear is :

1. in my screenshot, you can see some items displayed under 'RDV' (ie 'Rendez-Vous' = 'Event' ) vertical menu => why nothing is displayed when I use the filter 'Evenements' in the user dashboard sidebar area ?

for exemple, why we do not see all the discussion we can find in this RDV (Group Event) : http://newclm.com/index.php/groupes/71-marrakech/evenements/121-ze-rdv-2019-marrakech

2. you are right : the section was 'upcoming event' .. and yes pls help me to display "Easysocial - event module" under this module position es-dashboard-aside

3. I don't want to display some filter item to avoid complexity ... by exemple, I want to hide 'Application', 'Partage' (Shared) : where can I do that ?

4. BTW, I raised another ticket before this one about the failure to update EB and ED although I did it for ES.
I attached a screenshot in the previous ticket. Any clue?

I've help you display a few module on the user dashboard sidebar, can you give it a check and see whether you still need other information to display at the sidebar?

Regarding that upcoming event module, it didn't show up is because your next 2 week didn't have any upcoming event.

3. I don't want to display some filter item to avoid complexity ... by exemple, I want to hide 'Application', 'Partage' (Shared) : where can I do that ?

I've help disabled "stream filter" from your site backend > Easysocial > application > find your app for these 2 app "application" and "share".

4. BTW, I raised another ticket before this one about the failure to update EB and ED although I did it for ES.

I will continue check this on your original ticket.

Good job for the vertical menu : that is what I want !

Two last points on this topic :

1. if I would like to re-order the item displayed ( RDV, GROUPE, DERNIERS ARTICLES DU BLOG) where can I do it from the backend?

2. when I use my mobile phone, I see the vertical menu in full screen then the conversation stream. Before I have a menu to 'toggle' the menu if I want and see directely the discussion stream. Then I can click on a menu and the hidden 'vertical menu' was displaaaya on the screen. Is that possible to have this behaviour again?

You can watch my video here how to adjust module ordering http://take.ms/WZLoE .

Currently that is not possible to have this behaviour in Easysocial 3, and we will hide this vertical menu on mobile.

What do you think if this alternatively way work for your current situation?

1. Since we hide this vertical menu on mobile, duplicate those vertical menu(module) and assign to display at the footer module position (only show this in mobile device).

2. Disable this setting "Enable Auto Loading During Scroll", so when the user scroll until the last item, they can able to see those module at the footer position.

Hi Arlex

Yes, I would like to see your alternative with the stream at the top and the Group, RDV and Blogs article at the bottom.

Could you do that for me (with explanation) ?
When it is done, I will ask to my users.
If it is not ok for my users, we will come back to the current display.

TIA
Henri

hey Henri,

I did updated a few thing on your site :

1. I've override this file into your elegant template JoomlaFolder/templates/elegant/html/layouts/joomla/edit/frontediting_modules.php

2. I've added this following CSS into this file JoomlaFolder/templates/elegant/css/custom.css

.hidden-desktop {

	display: none !important;

}



.visible-desktop {

	display: inherit !important;

}



.visible-phone {

	display: none !important;

}

.visible-tablet {

	display: none !important;

}



@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) {

	.hidden-desktop {

		display: inherit !important;

	}

	.visible-desktop {

		display: none !important;

	}

	.visible-tablet {

		display: inherit !important;

	}

	.hidden-tablet {

		display: none !important;

	}

}

@media (max-width: 767px) {

	.hidden-desktop {

		display: inherit !important;

	}

	.visible-desktop {

		display: none !important;

	}

	.visible-phone {

		display: inherit !important;

	}

	.hidden-phone {

		display: none !important;

	}

}

3. I've comment out these CSS into this file JoomlaFolder/templates/elegant/css/theme.css

/* temporary disable this CSS

.module.module-content-top .top-heading {

  display: none;

}

*/

Can you give it a check again is it everything okay?

Now the behaviour is :

Desktop - It will show the 'vertical menu' sidebar on the user dashboard page.
Mobile - It will hide the 'vertical menu' sidebar on the user dashboard page but it will render these module (screenshot : http://take.ms/O59pu ) at the bottom.

Hi Arlex

Sounds great!

Just a question : I see that you touched the code ... what are the consequences concerning the version updates?
Are we sure that a new version will not replace your code and cancel your modifications?

Number 1 : This file didn't exist in Elegant template, so it will not override this changes.

Number 2 : This changes only added into custom.css file, so it will not override this changes.

Number 3 : This file will get overridden when you update next Elegant template.
