1) The aim of current role management and Administration area on frontend is to offer the user an interface that does not require knowledge of Joomla. But I knows this can be boring for administrators, so the goal is add ability to link roles with Joomla usergroups. We already plan to make this in future.
2) Social Network plugin have a own template management, so you can make your modification layout modification:
- Access to Admin Panel (
http://docs.easy-profile.com/index.php/article/social-network-configuration)
- Go to Theme Manager
- Choose "SocialNetwork Theme"
- Choose the file to override from left menu (Elements->main_menu.ctp)
- Click on button "Copy"*** and copy it in "Blue Theme"
- Come back to Theme Manager and choose "Blue Theme"
- You will see your override to customize.
Basically if you remove all content from this file then you should remove horizontal menu bar
To create a menu link for each part of Social Plugin then you can do something like this:
- Create a menu item of type Easy Profile->Social Network for example with alias "social-network"
- Create for each element a menu item of type System Links->URL with a url like /social-network/blogs or /social-network/photos
Unfortunately there is not the type of the menu for these because it is a plugin (not a component)
