hello!
How can I replace the icons marked on the screenshot with my own symbols like "fa-home" or stuff from Font Awesome?

I tried following:
ossn_register_menu_item('newsfeed', array(
'name' => 'friends',
'text' => ossn_print('friends'),
'parent' => 'profile',
'icon' => 'fa-solid fa-user',
'href' => $user->profileURL('/friends'),
));
thank you
Your com file is missing a unique section name, add something like
ossn_register_sections_menu('newsfeed', array(
'name' => 'profile',
'text' => ossn_print('meinprofil'),
'href' => $user->profileURL(''),
'section' => 'dominik',
));
And in newfeed.php change the code to if($name == 'dominik'){
Thanks so far, I copied the newsfeed.php to components/SidebarRearrange/plugins/default/menus/sections and just added
if($name == 'profile'){
$expend = 'show';
$icon = "fa-user";
}
to the existing stuff
after refreshing my site, the menu is still collapsed
Do I have to add something like "ossn_extend_view" to my ossn_com.php?
here is a snippet of the top of my ossn_com.php

function sidebar() {
ossn_extend_view('css/ossn.default', 'css/sidebar');
$user = ossn_loggedin_user();
if ($user) {
ossn_register_menu_item('newsfeed', array(
'name' => 'home',
'text' => ossn_print('home'),
'href' => ossn_site_url(),
'parent' => 'profile',
'priority' => 0,
));
ossn_register_sections_menu('newsfeed', array(
'name' => 'profile',
'text' => ossn_print('meinprofil'),
'href' => $user->profileURL(''),
));
ossn_register_menu_item('newsfeed', array(
'name' => 'friends',
'text' => ossn_print('friends'),
'parent' => 'profile',
'href' => $user->profileURL('/friends'),
));
Oh yes ... From what I know, there's no easy way to pass a 'expand/not expand' parameter to any of those ossn_register_menu.... functions.
The only workaround I see (in order not to collide with future core updates:
copy YourThemeInUse/plugins/default/menus/sections/newsfeed.php
to one of YourOwnCustomComponentsInUse/plugins/default/menus/sections/newsfeed.php
Edit that copied newsfeed.php and to get an idea as a first exercise:
replace $expend = ''; by $expend = 'show';
Refresh your page and you'll notice that all of the main menus appear expanded/uncollapsed now
Okay, but that's not what you wanted, so restore it back to $expend = '';
And in order to expand your own menu only, use the same code as already used for the menus named 'links' and 'groups'
and add it below like:
if($name == 'YOUR OWN MENU NAME'){
$expend = 'show';
$icon = "fa-YOUR OWN FAVORITE ICON";
}
For a more in-depth understanding of Ossn's plugin mechanism take the time and follow https://www.opensource-socialnetwork.org/component/view/6044/goblue-registration-page?offset=3 step by step
The only thing I couldn't figure out is how to automatically expand the "profil" menu.
I could modify the "newsfeed.php" in goblue/plugins/default/menus/sections but I don't want to do that,
And I also don't want to use JS, to reduce the client side load
Guess i figured it out somehow
Sorry, it is really hard for me to understand the component, because I am doing everything with chatGPT, I can't really code, therefore I need simple instructions.
I tried to find a programmer many times, but couldn't find anyone to help me with OSSN
Crazy: Just one day ago, I recommended to study the system-info component here, which indeed implements its own menu icons...!?!
what do you mean?
It doesn't matter which icon I try, the system always display this right angle and not my icon I want
Even if I try fa-solid fa-home
Hi Dominik.
You need to change 'fa-solid fa-user', to any other fa fa icon
