Evolution2 theme, out of the box; Evolution2 has two instances of Site - User Navigation in header


Description

This widget is new in Telligent Enterprise 3.0.

Purpose

Provides shortcuts to admin-configured links for frequently visited core pages. Can also be used to provide a link for inviting someone to join the community.

Out of the box, the Evolution2 theme of Telligent Enterprise utilizes two instances in the header - one with links to groups and favorite places, and the other with links to user, conversations, settings, and sign out.

    Limitation

    In order for the Invite link to work, you must have enabled the account activation "invitation only" option at Control Panel Dashboard > System Administration > Membership Administration > Configuration > Account Settings > Registration Settings.

    Where it works

    This widget works in the site-level header section of the Edit page functionality. By placing it in the site level header, you assure that users can view this widget on all pages. 

    Configuration

    Enable the widget

    1. Navigate to Control Panel Dashboard > System Administration > Site Administration > Widget Studio > Enable/Disable widgets.
    2. If it is not already present in Allowed widgets, move the widget from the Not Allowed Widgets column to the Allowed Widgets column.

    Place and configure the widget

    1. Click Edit Page.
    2. Click Edit Header.
    3. Select and place the Site - User Navigation widget.
    4. Click Configure on the widget menu bar. The configuration dialog appears.

      • Widget title - You can change this widget's title, such as from "Site - User Navigation" to "User Navigation Links," by clicking Change and entering the new name.
      • Additional configuration  options
        You can use the drag-and-drop functionality to manually re-order the items in the list, affecting how they are displayed on the finished page. Options for configuration include:

        • User information - Links to the user's avatar and a link to his/her user profile.
        • Invite - See the limitation above about when this link works. It pulls up the \user\inviteuser.aspx page.

        • Sign out - Visible only if the user is signed in.
        • Browse groups - Displays a list of groups; links for viewing the entire list of groups and adding a new group; and a search field to locate a specific group. The group sort order in the drop-down list is based on their presentation order in the tree structure on Control Panel Dashboard > System Administration > Group Administration > Groups > Groups. (Depending on the number of subgroups the groups have, the drop-down shows up to three columns of 10 groups each.)
      Note: The options available to individual users will vary depending upon the user's permissions and which options are manually enabled.
