Change GroupJive Panel Menu links

Change GroupJive Panel Menu links was created by adamtest
I am wondering how to change the menu links that appear in the panel menu.

For example, I would like to change "My Categories" to "Categories" and either link to the "all categories" list or change the query to show all categories (not just my own).

Am I missing something in the admin or do I have to modify some files? Thanks.

P.S. I posted this in the GroupJive forum before I realized that was not a subset of the Advanced support area (so it can be removed from there).

The menu links are all language strings. You'll need to translate them within in the GJ language plugin provided with the GJ 2.x package. Most links use overrides so for example you'd be looking for "My [categories]", which you could replace with "Categories" or "[categories]" depending on if you want to maintain override support.

Alright so seeing as now I know how to change the labels for the panel menu links, how would I go about changing the actual link location. As in, changing where the "my categories" link goes (it is possible you already answered this and I'm missing something lol).

Why would you want to change the link? It takes the user directly to their categories display in the panel. A any rate it can be changed within the template files; please review the below location.

The entire frontend is quite literally a template.. you can change ANY aspect not controlled through PHP, which isn't much aside from the queries and storage handling.

I want to change the link because my users will not be creating categories, so I just want them to have a generic categories link so they still have access to a list of categories.

Also, I want the default panel (when they log into their panel) to be their groups, not their categories.

Essentially all this means is that I would like control over the action of that panel menu. I checked the CSS files you mentioned and while they offer controls over the style of the menu, I can't change the link locations or function of the menu.

If this means I'll need to dig into the php, that's fine, but if I could get any hints or guidance as to where I can find the functions for the panel menu, that would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The template is not just CSS files. Please review the PHP files. They control the entire display of frontend, including links.

I recommend checking in panel_panes.php. ;)
