Hi

I am getting the hang of working with Jomsocial, but there are features that I still find to be strange.

I appreciate having the Jomsocial tool bar. It's great. But I am not clear about how to get to the tool bar without actually displaying the Jomsocial menu item on the main menu. I find having "Jomsocial" or even something like "profile" as a menu item for non-registered users to be distracting. That's just not how most sites are set up and it confuses the visitors, especially when I use SCLogin module to guide all login/registrations. However, if I set the ACL to this item, the registration task is broken…, and that suggests I have to display the Jomsocial menu item to the Public… Any advice?

Also, screen real estate is precious. And I would like to have a drop down arrow next to the user name to allow them to enter their Jomsocial profile details that way. How can that be done?

Thank you for your help.

SH

Hi SH,

Hi Dimas

Yes, sorry about the confusion. Let me try again.

As described in Toolbar Explained ( documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Toolbar_Explained ), Jomsocial created a Component Entry Page by default in the Main Menu. I do NOT want a menu item of "Jomsocial" on the main menu at all because it does not make a whole lot of sense. However, I do see the value of the Component Entry Page, so I changed the ACL of Component Entry Page to Registered only (I believe ACL is not applicable to the "items" in Component Entry Page, but ok on Component Entry Page it). However, by doing this, my login module can no longer find the Jomsocial registration page and it gives me the Joomla login page.

However, if I unpublished the Component Entry Page, the registration functions works just fine. Why?

As you said in the Toolbar Explained, the Component Entry Page is really meant for internal use, not for general public visitors. So, what should I do if I want to achieve the following:

1. retain the Jomsocial registration flow through my login module
2. show the Component Entry Page on main menu only to registered user and hide if from public

And by the way, the Toolbar Explained can definitely use some rewriting...

Thanks for your help.

Hi SH,

Please

#1 You cant set the jomsocial menu as members only, because the regisration will be broken, or you create separate menu for registration
#2 another solution actually this is my personal expereinced, for hide the jomsocial menu for public you should create 2 different menus
(1) original menu jomsocial you put on hidden menu type -you should create new hidden menu type for this one-
(2) then you create new menu jomsocial, which will be show on the main menu, use external url, and that external url set to orginal menu in step (1)

I hope you will understand, if not I will help you to create it.

thank you
