ISSUE SUMMARY: I installed JOM Social on Joomla 3.5.1 and I looked at your video tutorial and it does not show what to do once installation is finished. I assume that I have to go to templates and select a JOM social template BUT there are no JOM social templates there.


STEPS TO REPLICATE:
1 Install JOM Social as per video tutorial - there is nothing else on video tutorial
2 Go to Templates
3 No JOM Social templates there
4
5
RESULT No JOM Social templte to choose
EXPECTED RESULT: Choose JOM Social template and assign to menu item
BROWSER Chrome

Hi, Peter.

No, you don't have to set any template. JomSocial is a Joomla! extension what means it will be displayed in content area of your current template. I see that Js is working properly: coachdonyoung.com/jomsocial So you're ready to go :)

What you may need to do more... tune up JomSocial to your Community needs. You may add or remove modules to display various information, set privacy, create groups and events, if you want to allow video upload - you need to configure it in JS backend, you may also customize profile fields. There a lot of things you may do... or just leave JomSocial with default settings.

If you still not sure what to do next - just tell me what you want to do... I'll put you into right tracks ;)

If you want to have different Joomla! template (JomSocia doesn't use templates... it's rather a layout, files that control JS content display) you need to download (there are a lot of free Joomla! templates out in The Internet). Then install it like any other Joomla! extension and set for JomSocial menu item. Joomla! will load your secondary template for all pages with that menu item.

Thank you.

I see that you added jomsocial as a menu item. Can I add more than one jom social?

For example, this is a weight loss site and the jom social is a support group. Can I have numerous support groups?

Hi, Peter.

You need only ONE frontpage JomSocial link. You may change it title to something that fits you more.
If you want to add more JS related menu items, rather use menu item alias and point to appropriate menu item in JomSocial Toolbar.
JomSocial display list of groups but doesn't provide separated menu item to link to certain groups - you'll need to create external URL menu item and paste URL to certain group.

You may have as many groups as you need. There is no limitation ;)
