Hi Ade,

I can't find Jomsocial link at your menu, so i access directly using this url: index.php?option=com_community
and I tried at Firefox, Chrome, Safari. all fine (as attached)

Thanks for your input, Albertus.

Having cleared cache severally even before own original post, I can confirm that the bug occurs on the Joomla’s sef url (ie. /index.php?option=com_community). If you try the correct link, the issue is apparent, ie. /social-networking

I can confirm that, before this current update to Jomsocial 3.1.1, the Joomla Main Menu item ( /social-networking ) worked perfectly with all versions of Jomsocial, ie. Jomsocial Frontpage on the Assigned Template: /index.php?option=com_community&view=frontpage

Best regards.

Hi Ade,

please follow this steps:
1. edit your CSS file:

you-site/templates/gk_music_free/css/template.css

#community-wrap .hero-area-wrapper div.content {
  background: transparent;
  border: 0 none;
}

Hi Albertus.

Yes, the css line worked. Thanks indeed!

...Which shows the importance of overrides. This issue when I lost all hacks/changes made in the previous Jomsocial version. I’m making the overrides and have the images in the right paths: JOOMLA/templates/myTemplateName/html/com_community. The problem is that it seems the Jomsocial files have changed in relation to firebug (css Style) since the Jomsocial document (image below). Now, all the files are present in the following folders:

JOOMLA/templates/myTemplateName/html/com_community/assets/…
JOOMLA/templates/myTemplateName/html/com_community/images/guest-bg.jpg
JOOMLA/templates/myTemplateName/html/com_community/images/…

Requirements:
1. Having created a new css folder and added the '@import code', firebug doesn't seem to show the right css lines to include thereafter, ie. the css lines to call;
a. All files in the …/html/com_community/assets folder (eg. default.png, user-Female.png, user-Male.png, etc., etc.)
b. All files in the …/html/com_community/images folder (eg. guest-bg.jpg, the Karma images, etc)
c .All files in the …/html/com_community/images/cover folder (eg. female-default.png, male-default.png, etc., etc.)

2. Question: Is the file Joomla/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_community.ini also to be included in the …/html override file? What’s the path in this new override file/

Thanks, in advance, for your input.

Cheers.

Hi Ade,

for changing guest banner you can edit the file: frontpage.guests.php

edit the src value.
<img class="hero-area-bg" src="<?php echo JURI::root(); ?>components/com_community/templates/default/images/guest-bg.jpg"></img>

Again, thanks for your efforts, Albert.

Yes, I was able to edit/change frontpage.guests.php.

The huge problem is that, unlike older Jomsocial versions, the css file is completely mashed up when viewed (even in dreamweaver, notepad, etc.). Using the Find and Replace method does not help locate items. Without the need to acquire a specialist code reader extension, what's the best way to tackle this?

I also read the 2 links provided.

2. I think I can manage the language.ini file (with find and replace method), but I do prefer to include this (language.ini) path under the template html override file, rather than apply it from Joomla back-end (Joomla shall also get upgraded eventually). The question is: where, within the override ../html/com_community/ folder shall the language file reside?, ie. is it like ../html/com_community/language/en-GB.com_community.ini

3. The challenge persists with overriding the images (Assets and Images folders) as stated earlier, ie;the css lines to call;

a. All files in the …/html/com_community/assets folder (eg. default.png, user-Female.png, user-Male.png, etc., etc.)
b. All files in the …/html/com_community/images folder (eg. guest-bg.jpg, the Karma images, etc)
c .All files in the …/html/com_community/images/cover folder (eg. female-default.png, male-default.png, etc., etc.)

Or, can these image files be amended directly in certain php files? I inspected to no avail.

Cheers.

Hi Ade,

basically override html folder only for template files (under /com_community/template/[template folder]/). outside that, cannot.

1. The css "mashed up" because we did "minimization" to decrease the CSS file size. (for reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minification_%28programming%29 ).
For make that CSS readable you can you this tool: www.codebeautifier.com

2. and about language override must using Joomla backend. this is the joomla standard. we can't put language files at under the template html override folder. Joomla will create /language/overrides/en-GB.override.ini file

3. you can changing some default image by edit this /components/com_community/defines.community.php file.

Cheers,
Albert

Thanks.

I sorted the language issue. Shall check the rest and get back.

Best regards.

Hi Albertus.

While we're on the issues of initial upgrade, just to mention that I noticed serious issues with the following:

1. The ‘Jomsocial Community - Friends location’ plugin does not work with SSL. What's the fix?

2. Photos do not show up for viewing or scrolling although the thumbnails and every other thing looks okay. Photos are stored on amazon s3 and images can be viewed in the Joomla admin back-end. A click from ‘Title’ link from Jomsocial back-end directs momentarily (and the images are viewable) for example to: http://my_site.com/index.php?option=com_community&view=photos&task=photo&albumid=10&userid=105&photoid=65

When viewed from the /social-network/, this issue persists. Kindly assist with a fix.

Cheers.
