ISSUE SUMMARY:
In JS 3.1, I had an override folder set up, per JS documentation, to override the following two files:
/com_community/templates/default/frontpage.guest.php
/com_community/templates/default/images/guest-bg.jpg

The override (output) locations were;
/templates/MyTemplate/html/com_community/frontpage.guest.php
/templates/MyTemplate/html/com_community/images/guest-bg.jpg

Every thing worked fine and the "Get Connected" picture and message on the frontpage of JS were replaced with my customized ones. After upgrading to JS 4.1.7, - the overrides no longer work.

Hi.

ROOT/components/com_community/templates/default/images/guest-bg.jpg
Was deprecated since JS 4.0.
Please, read our documentation:
documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Customizing_Template
documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Replacing_Default_Avatar

Also you hold JomSocial PRO so you don't have to fiddle any file in order to change frontpage cover. Just browse to Backend -> Components -> JomSocial -> Theme Designer -> General and change it there by uploading new cover.

Thanks for your reply. I'm glad to see the added feature in JS. This certainly helps with the image issue. I see an option to show/hide frontpage paragraph/message, - but not to customize it. I assume to do this I would need to do so via override, like I already had in JS 3.1. So, has /com_community/templates/default/frontpage.guest.php been 'deprecated' as well? Which folder/file do I need to access/reference in order to accomplish this?

Thanks,
BoJames

Hi.

If you want to customize paragraph text, just use Joomla! language override feature:
documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Changin...gle_Sentence_or_Word

No need to fiddle with any files :D

Frontpage files are now stored here:

ROOT/components/com_community/templates/jomsocial/layouts/frontpage

Thanks for the informative tip about the Joomla feature. It's just what I need. I was not aware of it. Learning new stuff all the time, - too bad I didn't discover it before all the work before hand!
