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.

How to remove power by joomsocial in email?

If anyone use the version joomsocial 2.6, which runs onjoomla 2.5.x, you easily find that in all emails contain the sentence "power by joomsocial" above the line of copyright.

It takes long time to look around, but people say that you must by pro version to get rid of it.

I look back again the code, and I finally think about listbingo component, maybe it has the same technique, and i'm right. It 's all in CTemplate like in GTemplate of listbingo.

Now I will show you how to remove it. Open the file components/com_community/library/template.php. Go to line 308 and remove the code:

1.if (!COMMUNITY_PRO_VERSION) {

2.//POWERED BY LINK//

3.$jConfig = JFactory::getConfig();

4.$siteName = $jConfig->getValue( 'sitename' );

5.$powerBy = 'Powered by http://www.jomsocial.com/">JomSocial for . JURI::root() . '">' .$siteName . '';

6.}

Test again, everything 's done. Hope this is helpful for you.

How to modify categories view in virtuemart?

In virtuemart forjoomla 1.5 , the category view is difficult to find out where to modify. Specially, the default number of columns is 4, and now you want to change to 3, you don't have any option to change. I have taken all day to find out where it is and how the virtuemart runs.
Firstly, the home page of virtuemart is set by the file administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/shop.index.php, and the template is components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/template/common/shop.index.tpl.php. For example, if you don't want to display categories view at the front page you can delete
echo $categories at line 7.
