Customize "Help spread the word" feature 4.1 event
April 16, 2012, 08:04:04 am
I really like the Help spread the word feature, however it give as very "ugly" link for people to share.

In newer versions of joomla (and other CMS) there are SEF controls built in or by using a addon. So I can replace:

<my site>/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/info&id=1&reset=1

with

<my site>/event2012

Which is what we use in our press realeases and mailings.

I would like to change the "spread the word" widget to reflect a SEF link or maybe just send people to the main event site.

Any one have an idea where this code is .... I have searched through the PHP event files and have yet to find it.

ideally u should do this outside of CiviCRM.

when the user hits that url, redirect the user to the:

<my site>/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/info&id=1&reset=1

You misunderstood.....

I already have the redirection outside of Civicrm (using the Joomla built in redirector) and that is working.

The "help spread the word" widgit....has the "ugly" url in it and that is what is offered to be shared. It also uses that Url when any of the share functions are used e.g.

If you tweet from that widget it uses:

<my site>/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/info&id=1&reset=1

Which is not as friendly as having a SEF one.

I would like to overide that link, but I can't find the JS, PHP or TPL that creates those links.

I finally found it ....hidden in the common directory.

templates/crm/common/SocialNetwork.tpl

modified it to pull a custom field...would be nice to over ride this from the Backend Directly though.
