How to modify object link of jcomment?

JComment is a big components for joomla, bothjoomla 1.5 andjoomla 2.5. It also means that it is so complicated.

Today, I want to change the object link of each comment. Because, each time, users click on this link, I want it open with a better link than jcomment did.But it's really hard to find out where it is. First I look at object.php of models folder, object.php of class folder in admin. Finally I know it is folder com_jcomment/plugins.

In this folder you have a list of components that jcomment integrated.

I, myself want to modify admanagers link, so I open com_adsmanager.plugin.php file.

In this file you 'll see a line like this:

1.$info->link = JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_adsmanager&view=details&id=" . $row->id . "&catid=" .$row->category . $Itemid);

This is the link of object, now, you can edit as you like.

Hope this is helpful for you.

How to fix joomsocial core app does not display in sitebar position?

the new version of joomsocial has some error, and someone can not wait will be angry about it. I have write a new own application, and i want it displays in sitebar-top position. Although I choose the position is sidebar-top, or sidebar-bottom it's not display. After that, if i set it is not a core app, and user can cofig by their own app, it can display it these both position. I'm really disappointed.

In the internet, question about joomsocial is hard to find an answer. I decide to find out by myself. Finally I figure out why it's not display. when we set our apps to be core, that means that their positions become sidebar-top-core or sidebar-bottom-core or content-core, but in the view.html.php of profile and in template profile.index.php don't include them. Now I will show you how to fix it.

First, go to com_community/views/profile/view.html.php, find these code, and add the three new position: 'content-core', 'sidebar-top-core', and 'sidebar-bottom-core'

01.// Split the apps into different list for different positon

02.$appsInPositions = array();

03.foreach( $appData as &$app )

04.{

05.if( !in_array($app->position, array('content','content-core', 'sidebar-top','sidebar-top-core', 'sidebar-bottom','sidebar-bottom-core')) ) {

06.$app->position = 'content';

07.}

08.$appsInPositions[$app->position][] = $app;

09.}

then, add three more item in the code below:

1.$contenHTML['content'] = '';

2.$contenHTML['sidebar-top'] = '';

3.$contenHTML['sidebar-bottom'] = '';

4.$contenHTML['content-core'] = '';

5.$contenHTML['sidebar-top-core'] = '';

6.$contenHTML['sidebar-bottom-core'] = '';

and finally, you transfer it to template by these code:

1.->set ( 'contentcore' , $contenHTML['content-core'] )

2.->set ( 'sidebarTopcore' , $contenHTML['sidebar-top-core'] )

3.->set ( 'sidebarBottomcore' , $contenHTML['sidebar-bottom-core'] )

4.->set ( 'content' , $contenHTML['content'] )

5.->set ( 'sidebarTop' , $contenHTML['sidebar-top'] )

6.->set ( 'sidebarBottom' , $contenHTML['sidebar-bottom'] )

All things in view.html.php is done.

Now, please open the com_community/template/profile.index.php, find this code

1.echo $sidebarTop; ?>

and add this

1.echo $sidebarTopcore; ?>

2.echo $sidebarTop; ?>

and like others, we get this:

1.echo $sidebarBottomcore; ?>

2.echo $sidebarBottom; ?>

and

1.echo $contentcore; ?>

2.echo $content; ?>

Now you can try again and see how it runs. Hope this helpful for you.

How to add more ajax function in joomsocial?

Today I work with joomsocial ofjoomla 2.5. Joomsocial is a big commercial component, but we sometime have to edit it to fit our require. I has written a new form that let users transfer point from one to one. I try to write new ajax function but it meet some errors.

Firstly, I found the instruction in file jooms.ajax.js to call a new ajax function:

01.joms.ajax.call(sFunc, sArgs, settings)

02.joms.ajax.call('controller,function', [arg1, arg2] {

03.success: function(data) {

04.// What to do when the ajax call is successful

05.},

06.error: function(data) {

07.// What to do when the ajax call is not successful

08.// e.g. timeout, 404, 500, etc.

09.},

10.

11.// For more settings to fiddle with, look up jQuery.ajax() docs.

12.});

And then I write a function

view source

print?

01.function showform()

02.{

03.joms.ajax.call('profile,ajaxGetForm', [echo $userid?>], function(data)

04.{

05.console.log(data.url); // output http://www.jomsocial.com

06.console.log(data.caption); // output JomSocial

07.});

08.

09.}

and add a function ajaxGetForm in profile.php of controller.

but it just displays nothing.

then, i turn on firebug, move to console, I read that error is function not found. I thought that there must be a place for define these function. Finally i found it jax.community.php, and I add this line $jaxFuncNames[] = 'profile,ajaxGetForm'; in line175.

Finally, It run well. Now I have new function ajax in joomsocial. It is so good for us to develop more for joomsocial.

Hope that this is helpful for you.
