I tried to create a Group and the field for description is missing? This field was there before I am using a Joomla 2.5 template and I am sure it is not the template as the field was there before! but not it is not

Hi,

For some reason, the plugin jce editor you had chosen in the backend: components > jomsocial > configuration > layout > 'Use Text Editor'. Which doesn't seem to work, it could be permissions problem with JCE, so I suggest going over the configuration of it and making sure users on the frontend are able to use JCE. For the time being I've changed the editor to default JomSocial one and it shows and works fine.

You could also consider upgrading to the latest version of JomSocial. It's awesome.

I hope that helps.

If I upgrade I loose the photos and things that I have changed?
I have Version: 3.0.4 and it says it is the latest version

NOTE: I saw a video from Jomsocial tips and tricks on how to change the profile background photo to have the "change cover " button on the images, I would like to do this but I dont know where to find the button " Change cover"

Hi,

Upgrade will remove / reset all hacks / custom modifications you've done to JomSocial. Basically if you made a change in the core files they'll be removed. So all custom modifications should be done with: documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Customizing_Template and those mods which can't be done with it just make a list to keep track of those mods and re-apply them after the upgrade.

I'm not sure what you mean by that 'Note' of yours, could you please explain a bit more?

Thanks

where can I find the button that says "Change Cover Photo" I want to place it on the profile image permantly rather than just the mouse over to prompt members to change the cover photo more often

Hi,

You could modify the '/com_community/templates/default/css/style.css' (best do it by template override). Remove 'display:none' and it'll always show. That's the simplest way to do it.

#community-wrap .js-focus-change-cover {
position: absolute;
z-index: 10000;
top: 12px;
right: 12px;
display: none;
cursor: pointer;
}

I upgraded as you suggested now facebook connect and registration does not work?

Hi,

Please open a new thread for the facebook issue in a proper category and we'll check it out. Too many topics in one thread makes the forum not clean and clear to look for a solution to a problem.

Thanks. Marking this one as solved.
