Avatar Located In My Account Not My Profile

When a member attempts to change their avatar they look under my profile section.

The problem is the avatar is located in the My Account Section. This should be a profile operation not an account operation.

See Screen Shot

Please advise.

Thanks!

Maybe.  The account page is where a person can change things about their account.  However, it is easy to add Avatar to the profile instead of account or you can have it in both places.

If you want to move it from account to profile, go to admin, builders, navigation menu and scroll over to the right until you see the "red/pink" system menu items.  Under Dashboard you will find avatar, just drag it over to profile view.  Or, if you want to add it to profile and leave it in account, you would create a new menu item under Profile View and then copy the contents from the avatar item under dashboard.  The URL is modules/?r=avatar/ and you can copy the other things such as the language key.

Edit: adding an item to the system menu can be tedious due to the wide width of the page, Just drag and drop where you can and keep repeating until you get it in the correct location.

Ah-

This is great..I know how to fix by adding new language key...

One thing I have  noticed is Boonex reused the same tags over and over again, which is confusing,, you try to fix in one place and it gets changed in 10k other places... :)

What would make it easier, and now I know how to do it.. create My Avatars, My Photos, etc...

P.

So, this makes it much more clear for the users.. and yes you have to be careful with the menu options being to long, but for now, that is not a problem for us... :)

It was a lot of work but I think will make the site much less confusing..

Thanks again Geek Girl for Great Ideas!

So how did you create the dual menus, one for their profile, and one for my profile

This is not a bad idea.  On Blogster, they use identical menus; much the way Dolphin does, for when you are on your profile and when you are on someone else's profile and one can forget at times what clicking the button will do.

Login as Admin-

Go to Admin Panel

Select Builders

Select Navigation Menu

Scroll all the way to the right... (Pink Menus) Look at the menu.jpg attached.

Scroll all the way left, and down to new item

Drag New Item into either one of the menus you wish to choose.

Edit the properties... see properties.jpg

Click Save Changes

Drag Away the old version

Go to Settings

Select Language Settings

Click Add Key 

Add Key Name (make sure language key is EXACTLY the same as what you entered in the menu item (cAsEseNsiTive)

Leave Category as System

Set the Test String to your custom string... (keep it short)

Click Languages

Select the language (English)

Click Compile

Clear Cache

Login as a user.

Test-

Repeat...

Geek Girl, I was not belittling your knowledge by providing a step by step, but only hoping that a newbie would be able to follow these steps, 1,2,3, etc.  :)

Lord knows,understanding Dolphin can be a challenge... 

I must be missing something, how did you get it so when I go to view my profile I don't see "Their Blog"?

Geek Girl-

Navigation Menu

Scroll right --> to Profile View.

Scroll down...

Their should be a "Blog" entry here... expanding this should show something like...  except for some reason, this does not resolve correctly, maybe I i did not copy the entire string... or there is an error with the Dolphin string.. :)

modules/boonex/blogs/blogs.php?action=show_member_blog&ownerID={profileID}|blogs/posts/

Let me know if you have the correct string.. :) BTW I don't trust the Boonex Menu names anymore, so I created a new menu item, and so on and so forth...

And if this helps!

I see what you are saying, you created a copy of each menu item.

Sadly, yes.... 

IT was a long and tedious process....

But, I think worth the effort. In the guise of making things less confusing..

Peer

While the process was tedious and long, one of the problems with the Dolphin script is recycled names so it can be confusing for people. I think this was well worth the effort... in the name of ease of use.
