JomSocial Expired Socialize Expired

I am not able to get module class suffix to work. Clean Joomla install with only Jomsocial/Socialize. I see there was a report a month ago about this but I do not see that there has been a resolution. Can you confirm/deny that the problem exists and/or has been fixed or possibly a work around?

Thanks in advance,
Bob

I just visited your site and published a test module with class suffix "_ijoomlatest".
Module appears in "sidebar-1" position with sample text and module suffix "custom_ijoomlatest".
Could you confirm?

JomSocial Expired Socialize Expired

The issue is with using sbox1, sbox2, etc. and it would appear to be when using a module in js_side_frontpage. If I use "sidebar" the module styling comes through but not in js_side_frontpage.

I have added in a module in sidebar and this does take the styling but none of the modules in js_side_frontpage seem to be able to get the styles.

Thanks again for the look,
Bob

Hi, Bob.

According to Socialize templateDetails.xml file we have following module positions:

<positions>
<position>languageswitcherload</position>
<position>top-header</position>
<position>head-search</position>
<position>mainnav</position>
<position>navhelper</position>
<position>breadcrumbs</position>
<position>sidebar-1</position>
<position>sidebar-2</position>
<position>mast-col</position>
<position>footer</position>
<position>home-0</position>
<position>home-1</position>
<position>home-2</position>
<position>home-3</position>
<position>home-4</position>
<position>home-5</position>
<position>position-0</position>
<position>position-1</position>
<position>position-2</position>
<position>position-3</position>
<position>position-4</position>
<position>position-5</position>
<position>position-6</position>
<position>position-7</position>
<position>position-8</position>
<position>position-9</position>
<position>position-10</position>
<position>position-11</position>
<position>position-12</position>
<position>position-13</position>
<position>position-14</position>
<position>position-15</position>
<position>footer-0</position>
<position>footer-1</position>
<position>footer-2</position>
<position>footer-3</position>
<position>footer-4</position>
<position>footer-5</position>
<position>footer-6</position>
<position>footer-7</position>
<position>footer-8</position>
<position>footer-9</position>
<position>footer-10</position>
<position>debug</position>
</positions>

I don't see among them "sbox1, sbox2" or "js_side_frontpage". Also I don't see them in preview:
www.groupsalot.com/index.php?tp=1&template=socialize

In backend you assigned "Community - Whos online" to "js_side_frontpage" position and to "All" pages... but I don't see this module on frontend...

So are you sure you are assigning modules (and thus module class suffix) to proper Socialize template module positions? In backend position "js_side_frontpage" is marked under "Custom positions"...

JomSocial Expired Socialize Expired

I think I understand what is happening. The module class suffix can not be applied to "custom" module positions, only positions assigned in the template. I believe this is a limitation of Joomla and not the Socialize template. So, I'm going to say this is resolved as I now know I can assign the module class suffix to a template position but not custom positions defined in a component. Thanks for the follow up to this and I appreciate your efforts.
