ISSUE SUMMARY:
Hey All,

Since the JS toolbar does not work with screen readers I am in need of a new position in JS,
there was one at one time called js-top I believe.
Worked great for custom menus, was in the same place as the JS Toolbar.
Is there any way possible to get somebody to add this to my install and add it back
to future versions of Jomsocial?
It was great for custom menus.


Thanks Much,
Flip


STEPS TO REPLICATE:
1 use a screen reader
2
3
4
5
RESULT doesn't read it out
EXPECTED RESULT anything
BROWSER IE, Firefox - tried with 3 separate screen readers *NVDA, Sero and Orca* on 2 platforms (Windows and Linux - Ubuntu-based)

HI, Philip.

Thank you for contacting us.
Here is full list of available built-in module positions in JomSocial. Wd didn't removed any: documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Built-in_Module_Positions

Or you mean positions in Socialize?
Here are all positions: socialize.jomsocial.com/explore/module-positions
Also none of them was removed.

But you may assign toolbar to any position and style it with css - make it position absolute and at top... even sticky :)
Unfortunately our Technical Support doesn't cover customizations.

Michal,
Thank you for the reply, but to make sure I hadn't lost my mind, I installed JomSocial 3.2.1.6 on a brand new test site. I have attached the screen shot of the js_top position in the community. Now, I'd like to know how to find that position in the new version of JS or how to get it back. That is the only way I've found to add a menu to JS that will work with screen readers.
It seems that the more JS is updated, the accessibility options are disappearing :(

Thanks again,
Flip

HI, Philip.

Thanks so much for the heads up!
It seems that this position was actually removed.
You may restore it by editing this file:
ROOT/components/com_community/controllers/controller.php

Add this code right below line 310:

$tmpl = new CTemplate();
$tmpl->renderModules('js_top');

Michal,
I tried that and I keep getting a 500 error. The username and password I put in the original post should still work if you want to go try it yourself.
I don't know if I did something wrong, but I followed your instructions exactly.

thanks again,
Flip & Mickey

HI, Philip.

Okay, but please, check credentials - it seems that they don't work.

Ok, Michal,
I got the creds fixed, I think. I don't know why SuperHelper-1 won't log in. I'll send you a PM with a new username and password to use.

Thanks again for your help,
Flip

Hi, Philip.

Responded... still can't login. Not sure if credentials are wrong... or user has insufficient rights... I copy and paste both data and check if there are no additional spaces. All seems to be fine but can't login.

Hey Mitchel,

Just sent a PM .. Please check.

Hi, Philip.

Please, check your site. I added missing module position. Module is titled "Michal's test".
For future references: my instructions above are 100% correct ;)

Hey Mitchel,

Great job, figured we screwed up some how.
Line numbers don't always show for screen readers.
Job looks perfect, thank you very much.
