Can we skip the 'New Messages ' pop up that you see when you click on the Envelope on the Menu bar? We would prefer to go straight to the Inbox.

The reason is that we don't find it very obvious that if you want to write a message to several Friends you have to go via "New Messages' then 'Show All' and then finally you can choose 'Write'.

We would prefer if the envelope is a direct link to your 'Message Centre'. You will see any new messages in your Inbox straight away, but it is much easier to find 'Write'.

Please can you let me know if this is possible?

Also, is it possible to replace the Envelope Icon on the Menu Bar with Words?

Hi, Susan.

Few users ware asking about it... so here it's how you can change it:

1. Copy this file: ROOT/modules/mod_community_toolbar/tmpl/default.php

to:

ROOT/templates/your-template/html/mod_community_toolbar (if you don't have "html" or "mod_community_toolbar" folders, feel free to create them)

2. Edit file in:

a) In line 45 change this:

<a rel="tooltip" data-placement="bottom" class="joms-module-global-notif" href="javascript:joms.notifications.showWindow();" title="<?php echo JText::_( 'COM_COMMUNITY_NOTIFICATIONS_GLOBAL' );?>">

with this:
<a rel="tooltip" data-placement="bottom" class="joms-module-global-notif" href="<?php echo CRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&task=notifications' );?>" title="<?php echo JText::_( 'COM_COMMUNITY_NOTIFICATIONS_GLOBAL' );?>">

This has ONE drawback - in order to clear number of notifications, displayed on icon (smal number) you need to see them in pop up... if you apply above hack, number will NOT be cleared when you see only list of notifications... so it will stay and will drop after 20 days when old notifications will be removed.

Also some notification require your action - like invitations to groups - and action buttons are displayed ONLY in modal window. Here you can see that certain notification is not displayed on notification list (background) but only in modal window: prntscr.com/4m13qg

So I leave this hack under your consideration.

b) In line 52 change this:
<a rel="tooltip" data-placement="bottom" class="joms-module-friend-invite-notif" href="<?php echo CRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_community&view=friends&task=pending' );?>" onclick="joms.notifications.showRequest();return false;" title="<?php echo JText::_( 'COM_COMMUNITY_NOTIFICATIONS_INVITE_FRIENDS' );?>">

with this:
<a rel="tooltip" data-placement="bottom" class="joms-module-friend-invite-notif" href="<?php echo CRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_community&view=friends&task=pending' );?>" title="<?php echo JText::_( 'COM_COMMUNITY_NOTIFICATIONS_INVITE_FRIENDS' );?>">

c) In line 59 change this:
<a rel="tooltip" data-placement="bottom" class="joms-module-new-message-notif"  href="<?php echo CRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_community&view=inbox' );?>"  onclick="joms.notifications.showInbox();return false;" title="<?php echo JText::_( 'COM_COMMUNITY_NOTIFICATIONS_INBOX' );?>">

with this:
<a rel="tooltip" data-placement="bottom" class="joms-module-new-message-notif"  href="<?php echo CRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_community&view=inbox' );?>" title="<?php echo JText::_( 'COM_COMMUNITY_NOTIFICATIONS_INBOX' );?>">

Those hacks are ONLY for "Socialize toolbar for JomSocial", version 1.2.8.
Similar hack could be applied for "Notify module" and "Hello Me module".
Changing the way icons work in JomSocial toolbar - menu displayed within JomSocial, will require core file to hack... what we nor recommend nor support.

Hi, Susan.

Yes, you can replace icons with words, just replace e.g <i class="fa fa-envelope"></i> with text.
