Easy Profile - Joomla Extension

Hi,
1) our demo site is build with Joomla + Easy Profile + Social Network plugin, nothing else. The layout comes from the default Joomla frontend template (protostar)

2) Yes, this is possible

3) Of course this is possible, there are different ways for example by changing language string or create a layout override.

I already sign up for the Pro version but, still cannot post the update the status on user profile and set the group.

Hi,
thanks for your purchase.

still cannot post the update the status on user profile

please check that following menu items are created (from Joomla Administration->Menus->All menu items), otherwise please create them :
- Easy Profile->User Profile
- Easy Profile->Social Network

and set the group

You can configure user roles from frontend Admin Panel (http://docs.easy-profile.com/index.php/article/social-network-configuration)

2.Could I disable some features like blogs in the Social Network plugs in if I don't allow the users to have their personal blog?

From admin panel you can also enable/disable plugins like blogs

3.How can I rename the "group" word to the other word like "team" if I want to customize this plug in?

Docs to translate the plugin are at http://docs.easy-profile.com/index.php/article/social-network-make-your-language, in your case you can change english translation from "Group" to "Team" by following these steps:
- Open file at /plugins/jsn/socialnetwork/app/Locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/default.po
- At line 211 you can replace a code like this:

msgid "Groups"

msgstr ""

with something like this

msgid "Groups"

msgstr "Teams"

- Same thing for other occurrences, for example at lines 217 (Edit Group -> Edit Team), 222 (Add Group -> Add Team), 239 (is now a member of this group -> is now a member of this team)......

Currently, I already setup the Social Network plug in as your previous comment. It works however, I am trying to customerize some fields for the group detail in this plugins. It seems like it develop on the CAKEPHP. But, I am not sure what version of the CAKEPHP that this plug in develop on. Is that Vesion 3.X?
or any Idea to customize the detail of the group in Social network plugins easy like the customize field feature in your Easy Profile?

Hi,
sorry for late reply, it was a weekend

The plugin is build with a customized version of CakePHP (it comes from version 1, but most of the code has been rewritten).

Unfortunately you cannot add fields to Groups natively, anyway you can do this by following these steps:
1) Create column in table #__jsnsocial_groups for example "new_field" (VARCHAR)
2) Create the input field in the html
- 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 (Groups->create.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.
- In this new file you can add something like this after line 75 to create the new input

<li><label><?php echo __('New Field')?></label>

			<?php echo $this->Form->text('new_field', array('value' => $group['Group']['new_field'])); ?>

		</li>

3) Delete folder "cache" at /plugins/jsn/socialnetwork/app/tmp/
NOTE: this modification will be still active when you update the plugin in future (layout changes is a theme override, so it will be not rewritten)

Hi,

Do I have to edit on the view.cpt? to add the new field for showing on when user click on to view group information.

No, view.ctp load another file:
- create an override for file Elements/ajax/group_detail.ctp
- after line 31 you can add a code like this:

<li><label><?php echo __('New Field')?>:</label><div><?php echo $this->Jsnsocial->formatText( $group['Group']['new_field'] )?></div></li>

Hi,
in alternative to show Google map you can add after line 31 a code like this:

<li><label><?php echo __('New Field')?>:</label><div><iframe width="100%" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=<?php echo urlencode($this->Jsnsocial->formatText( $group['Group']['new_field'] )) ?>&output=embed"></iframe></div></li>

Hi,
in file Groups->create.ctp you can use a code like this:

		<li><label><?php echo __('New Field')?></label>

			<?php echo $this->Form->text('new_field', array('type' => 'text', 'value' => $group['Group']['new_field'])); ?>

		</li>

		<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places&key=HERE_YOUR_API_GMAP_KEY"></script>

		<script src="https://socialnetwork.easy-profile.com/components/com_jsn/assets/js/jquery.geocomplete.min.js"></script>

		<script>

			jQuery("#new_field").after('<div class="jsn_map" id="map-new_field" ></div>').geocomplete({

						addReset: true, addPosition: false,

						map: "#map-new_field"

					});

		</script>

NOTE: replace all all occurrences of "new_field" with your DB column name
