Hi, Anais.

Yes, there is advanced search in JomSocial. JomSocial toolbar comes by default with this structure:

Profile
|— Change Profile Picture
|— Change Profile Video
|— Edit Profile
|— Edit Details
|— Privacy
|— Preferences
|— Customize My Page
Friends
|— Show All
|— Search
|— Advanced Search

Advanced search on your site is not native JomSocial advanced search but XIUS extension. Any requests regarding it should be addressed to their developer.

I advise you to use JomSocial native Advanced search - it's available in menu creation flow. Just choose community -> advanced search.

- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

Hello Michal
I did what you advised me to do: i changed the menu Lingk to JS native menu " Advanced search". I clear my cache :) I checked that all templates were set up to Socialize template.

Hi, Anais.

1. First of all: you REMOVED Jomsocial Toolbar menu. This may cause a lot of issues on your site. This menu is used for JomSocial internal navigation and MUST be present. So you need to create new menu in Backend -> Menu -> Menu manager

Title: JomSocial toolbar
Type: jomsocial
Description: JomSocial Toolbar

Now, inside this menu recreate this structure:

Profile
|— Change Profile Picture
|— Change Profile Video
|— Edit Profile
|— Edit Details
|— Privacy
|— Preferences
|— Customize My Page
Friends
|— Show All
|— Search
|— Advanced Search
|— Invite Friends
|— Request Sent

2. If you don't want to display JomSocial toolabr on your site then you could just disable it here: Backend -> Components -> JomSocial -> Configuration -> Layout -> Display Settings (box at top) -> Show toolbar -> NO

3. You should also disable all XIUS extensions (component, module and plugins) as they OVERRIDE JomSocial native Advanced search.

4. After that, change "Les Girls" menu item into MENU ALIAS and point to "Advanced Search" in JomSocial Toolbar.

This should solve your issue and give you this page as result: www.jomsocial.com/community/search/advancesearch

Hi, Anais.

You just forgot to disable ALL XIUS extensions (component, module and plugin). There was plugin enabled that tried to override JomSocial native advanced search. As XIUS component was disabled you experienced 404.

I disabled it and now it's fine: prntscr.com/6in7jf

Thanks for your help & i am very grateful for all this new JS4!
So now, i got my Advanced search bar--> "Regular" Search is still showing up but when i click on it, i go to the Advanced Search Bar --> Is there a way to hide it?
Shouldnt it be removed automatically when we authorized to perform Advanced search?

Hi, Anais.

I'm not sure if there is a real need to remove it (as it will require core hack). Search is just a quick search... when Advanced search allow to built exact and complicated query. So Easy search for those who prefer it easy... advanced for advances users :D

Thanks Michal.
Last question, just to be sure to get your point: it is normal so that when i click on "Search", it gets me to "Advanced Search"?

Hi, Anais.

Well, no... you should see that page: prntscr.com/6j3f8t
When Advanced search look like this: prntscr.com/6j3fki

But this could be overwritten by menu item if you created separated Advanced Search menu item outside JomSocial toolbar. It took over display template. For example in my case I used "All Members" menu item outside JS toolbar menu so clicking on "Search" was displaying... all members list.

Hmm... maybe we should deprecated simple search... as advanced one could be used in te same manner (without adding additional conditions)...
