Changing option "Blog" to "LinkedIn"

sgravelle

In the Teacher profile, I'd like to change the "Blog" option to "LinkedIn". I though I could make the change in the Language file, but changing "Blog" to "LinkedIn" there doesn't change anything on the frontend.
Is there a way to change it elsewhere?

Also, is it possible to set by default that each Contact line appears IF the field is not empty? The issue is that if a teacher doesn't enter his Facebook link, for example, but doesn't select "Hide", then on the frontend it appears that there is a link to Facebook although there's none..

An issue I found out with the display of contact info: when "Website" option is selected to show, the "Blog" info comes up ok on the frontend, but when Website is set at "Hide", "Blog" doesn't come up whether set to Show or Hide. In other words, "Blog" appears on frontend only when "Website" is also set to "Show". Furthermore, when "Website" is set to Show, Blog appears on frontend even when set to Hide.

Tks,
Serge

You can go to Backend >> Languages Overrides >> select your language and add override for this language constant: GURU_AU_AUTHOR_BLOG

I will share with team for this improvement but at this moment, pls select the box to Show/Hide each field:

I can't replicate this issue at my end, could you share the credentials of your site and link of that teacher on frontend so I can take a look?

Tks Saguaros for working on this.
I added the "Edit fields" for access.

You can pick any teacher on the backend, and refer to their course(s) on the frontend - the "Hide Blog" issue is the same for all teachers.

For example: A. Deepak Rajkumar -
Backend: Website set to Show + Blog/LinkedIn set to Hide (no entry made there for this trainer) - see https://prnt.sc/9LtJVALJ6FCu
Frontend Teacher List result: Blog icon is showing, but doesn't lead anywhere (because that field was left empty). See https://prnt.sc/5Ou0EL-DYqNZ

However, with same setting, the Teacher page is ok, i.e. Website is showing up and "Blog" remains hidden - see https://prnt.sc/8TpBlrUdg__6

Regarding what you replied: "You can go to Backend >> Languages Overrides >> select your language and add override for this language constant: GURU_AU_AUTHOR_BLOG".

I did that. It works on backend (https://prnt.sc/dTkOkEJ2Fn6w) but not on frontend (https://prnt.sc/5Ou0EL-DYqNZ).

Saguaros,
After further testing, I realized that the issue about Blob showing or not are only on the Teacher List. On the Teacher page, it is showing correctly.
It is also the same for when any of the contact fields are left blank => on Teacher page the icons do not appear, they do appear on the Teacher list when the fields are empty but set to show. Not a big deal, but the default is set to "show", so the icons are coming up for all new teachers if they do not intentionally select "Hide".

Not sure if this helps you or not.

Serge

sgravelle You're right the teacher list is a different view and you can override this language constant for that Blog text: GURU_BLOG

About the icons, I still can see in my local site. Could you share the URL of that page on your site? and share the login info as the provided account doesn't work anymore.

Tks Saguaros!
I did the language override you mentioned, and now LinkedIn is showing instead of Blog. That's great!

I've reset the backend access so it should be working now so you can check the rest.
The url for the teacher list: https://globalsparks.com/index.php/search-everything/faculty-members/list-of-trainers-faculty-members/guruauthor/

I just have a look at this page but icons are showing there, could you check again?

sgravelle

Tks Saguaros.
Using the first teacher (A. Deepak) as an example, the LinkedIn icon shouldn't appear because I didn't enter anything in that field, and it is set to "Hide".

Let me check and will get back to you.

Hello Saguaros!
Have you had a chance to look into this?
The bottom line is that in the Teacher Details (backend), when Website url is set to "Show", both the website and the LinkedIn (formerly "Blog") are showing up in the front end, even when "LinkedIn" field is empty and/or set to "Hide".
When Website is set to "Hide", the website doesn't show on the front end, but neither the LinkedIn link even when set to "Show".
Tks for checking it out.

Serge

Thank you very much Saguaros. It is working well now.
Is this a file I will need to update whenever a new GuruPro version is released, or will it be part of it?

Serge

sgravelle It's included in the next update of Guru so don't worry 😉
