Hi fellows!

I would like to know how I can hide one or modules such as “Latest members” or “latest videos” in JA Social to avoid them to be displayed when I connect to the Jomsocial frontpage (to be more precise, I want to hide everything that appears on the right column).

I know that this in principle can be done under Componets menu choose JomSocial->Templates and on the template you are currently using set the frontpage options there, but JA social does not allow to do that..

Can someone help ?

Thanks in advance

Within your Module Manager, you can assign which pages any given module will display on.

Maybe I didn’t express myself clear.
I want to hide the modules as seen in the picture but these modules (Jomsocial modules) are not found in the Module Manager.

Usually there should be a configurable options panel like the one pictured below, but the JA Social template does not allow to do that….

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance

Have you installed the JomSocial component into your JA Social template?

If so, perhaps these items are within the parameters within the JomSocial component itself?

Yes as you can see from picture 1, the layout chosen for Jomsocial is JA Social.
The Jomsocial component allows the customization of these parameters only from the “Template” section as pictured in my second picture.

Any help ?

Might you be able to allow me temporary access to your site administration, so I can take a look around?

Same here on my end – no template information, no parameter options.

@ Magimax, try switching to the default template that came with jomsocial then set your preferences. After that, try to switch back to the jomsocial template packaged with ja_social and see if the settings are kept.

Hi phicts,

I am sorry I am not going to “try” as I don’t want to lose my settings or any other custom modification I made.
I have used the quickstart installation so in principle I expect that the settings are visible and the JA_Social complies with standard overrides recommendations of JomSocial.

Is this a bug or a change request planned for future versions ?

Thanks for helping out.

Penso che potresti fare questo con un layout override

mi spiego meglio, potresti creare un layout personale senza il modulo right ed applicarlo al menu jomsocial in modo che quando vai in quella pagina i moduli pubblicati nella posizione right non verranno mostrati

Hi magimax.

I actually tried changing settings in the default template that came with Jomsocial WHILE THE DEFAULT template is the one packaged with ja_social. It works on my end – whatever I set on the default template that came from JomSocial applies to the template that came with ja_social.

However, I have no heavy customization. I thought all you wanted was to hide those modules you mentioned. My setup: JomSocial 2.2.4 on Joomla! 1.7.2

I’m guessing based on my experience that the template for jomsocial packaged with ja_social “inherits” basic settings or options set to the default template that came from JomSocial.

By the way, in case you have not yet done so or just reminding, always backup your site not only to minimize the risk of losing your custom modifications but also as a matter of good practice.
