I use a customized version of Cepon template.

My previous developer created a "Login" sidebar so that we can save some space. When I upgraded Jomsocial from 3.2.1.4 to 4.3.4, the sidebar completelly dissapeared.

HI, Manos.

Thank you for contacting us.
I presume that sidebar login was a module. So the first place where you should take a look is Backend -> Extensions -> Modules.
If module exist it should be listed there.

As you mentioned this was a custom build for your site. I don't know what was utilized for this - was it an override or a module from scratch - but upgrading JomSocial shouldn't have any influence on already installed 3rd party extensions. So it is rather coincided that this module is gone than intended removal.

I recall that in your installation also Kunena plugin for JomSocial was removed so it may be that someone was deliting things and deleted this one also by accident.

Nevertheless I can't help you much with this issue as it apply to 3rd party extension (built by your developer). So I'm sorry but you'll need to investigate on your own why that part is gone.

Finally I got a response from my developer

"When JomSocial was upgraded from 3.2.1.4 to 4.3.4 , there was a module called "js hello me" which was upgraded too by the JomSocial developers. This was customized by us because it was showing a bar with user avatar, user points, the 3 icons for notifications, messages and friends requests etc. Now that you have upgraded, new modules are installed and old are deleted"

The module is now not even functioned to be published. We published it and the result is very bery bad. Check the image below.

HI, Manos.

You complain that module was upgraded... other users will complain that they will have to upgrade EACH JomSocial plugin and module separately... that's 37 elements to upgrade.... further more if you upgrade main component and leave modules outdated... they won't work anyway. Customizations made on outdated files won work either. So please, rethink what you just wrote.

The question is : "What should I do now" ?

The right column in my template was a work made by a web design company which now has no time to fix the issue, as they handle large projects.

Shall I upgrade JS Hello Me again? And how do I do that basically and where is the current version being showed up? I can't find it inside the Module settings.

Shall I use JS Hello me or standard JomSocial Login window? Does JomSocial provide sidebar login info for such templates? Iam really confused here.

Please redirect me with the official site of the JS Hello Me mod or directly with the developer.

I have Google searched but I didn't find anything. This goes for 2 months now, since I upgraded, and everyone is complaining.

Someone respond for this!

How can I contact the creator of JS Hello Me?

Hi Manos,
If you have customised the JS Hell me module, you need to customise it again to apply your custom changes when you update the module.
Every component/Extension/Module gets an update for code stability with a new version of Joomla and bug fixes.
At this moment if you would like to get the same customisation on a new version of the module, you need to create an override for the module in the template folder and customise it again.
Here is a blog post helps you to create override: www.joomlart.com/tutorials/joomla-4-tuto...omponents-and-layout
