Customizing My Activities

Hi Joshua, you can make it on this way, just put this code on the very bottom of your the Requests HTML template:

<script>
$('ul.collapsible-nav-list li:first-child').text('My tickets');
$('input#quick-search').attr('placeholder','Search tickets');
</script>

Thanks Vladan!

It did not work when added to the requests HTML page, but when added to the scrips.js file it worked, kind of. The search bar portion is fine, but the sub-nav gets wonky when navigating away from the 'My requests' to the other sub navs:

Not only is the formatting off, but it is no longer clickable. 

I think the code snippet that is responsible for the name is here:

Specifically here:

I can get it so the selected sub-nav says 'My tickets,' but it does it for every currently selected sub-nav.

Thus far, I cannot figure out how to get that if-else statement to work the way I want.

Ahh, I see, please try this one:

<script>
$('ul.collapsible-nav-list li[aria-selected="true"]:first-child').text('My tickets');
$('ul.collapsible-nav-list li:not([aria-selected="true"]):first-child a').text('My tickets');
$('input#quick-search').attr('placeholder','Search tickets');
</script>

That worked! You're the best!

Very glad that it helps! Thank you for your feedback and enjoy your even better Help Center! ;)

Sorry to bother you again. I assumed that I would be able to update the other two sub-navs based on the script you provided, but everything I have tried has not worked. Do you happen to know how to change the others?

np :) This one should work fine:

<script>

$('header.my-activities-header ul.collapsible-nav-list li:contains("CC")[aria-selected="true"]').text('CC tickets');
$('header.my-activities-header ul.collapsible-nav-list li:nth-child(2) a').text('CC tickets');
 
$('header.my-activities-header ul.collapsible-nav-list li:nth-child(3) a').text('Org tickets');
$('header.my-activities-header ul.collapsible-nav-list li:contains("Organization")[aria-selected="true"]').text('Org tickets');

</script>

Let us know the result! ;)

It worked! I modified it a bit to be more consistent. Here is what I went with:

<script>
   $('ul.collapsible-nav-list li[aria-selected="true"]:nth-child(1)').text('My tickets');
   $('ul.collapsible-nav-list li:not([aria-selected="true"]):nth-child(1) a').text('My tickets');

   $('ul.collapsible-nav-list li[aria-selected="true"]:nth-child(2)').text('Tickets I am copied on');
   $('ul.collapsible-nav-list li:not([aria-selected="true"]):nth-child(2) a').text('Tickets I am copied on');

   $('ul.collapsible-nav-list li[aria-selected="true"]:nth-child(3)').text('Organization tickets');
   $('ul.collapsible-nav-list li:not([aria-selected="true"]):nth-child(3) a').text('Organization tickets');
</script>

My edit had an unintended consequence. The headers for the upper navs are changed. 

In the end I went with this and all is working correctly:

<script>
   $('header.my-activities-header ul.collapsible-nav-list li:contains("My")[aria-selected="true"]').text('My tickets');
   $('header.my-activities-header ul.collapsible-nav-list li:nth-child(1) a').text('My tickets');

   $('header.my-activities-header ul.collapsible-nav-list li:contains("CC")[aria-selected="true"]').text('Tickets I am copied on');
   $('header.my-activities-header ul.collapsible-nav-list li:nth-child(2) a').text('Tickets I am copied on');

   $('header.my-activities-header ul.collapsible-nav-list li:nth-child(3) a').text('Organization tickets');
   $('header.my-activities-header ul.collapsible-nav-list li:contains("Organization")[aria-selected="true"]').text('Organization tickets');
</script>

Thanks for coming back to share what you figured out, Joshua!

Is there a way to do this without using a script? The script runs a little late for my taste, so there's a brief moment where the original text is shown on the landing page before it changes. (This gif is kind of crappy because my page decided to take forever to load, but you can briefly see it at the end.)

Any advice would be great!

Hi Emily!

I'm afraid a script is the only way to go about making these changes. I don't think there's much to be done about any potential lag, but I'll check with our Community Moderators to see if they know of any tricks.

Hi @Emily,

Try the below code and let us know the results.

Go to your requests_page.hbs template and replace the code from line no.1 to line no.7 with -

<nav class="my-activities-nav collapsible-nav">
  <ul class="collapsible-nav-list container">
    <li aria-selected=true>My tickets</li>
    <li>{{link 'contributions'}}</li>
    <li>{{link 'subscriptions'}}</li>
  </ul>
</nav>

and from line no.12 to line no.24 with -

<nav class="my-activities-sub-nav collapsible-nav">
  <ul class="collapsible-nav-list">
  {{#each filters}}
    {{#if selected}}
      <li aria-selected=true>
        {{#is name 'My requests'}}
          My tickets
        {{else}}
          Tickets I'm CC'd on
        {{/is}}
      </li>
    {{else}}
      <li>
        <a href="{{url}}">{{name}}</a>
      </li>
    {{/if}}
  {{/each}}
  </ul>
</nav>

Thanks

Hi, 

Where do we change the text for "Following"

Hi @Chris,

You need to update the code in contributions_page.hbs, subscriptions_page.hbs, requests_page.hbs and request_page.hbs in order to change the text 'Following' from all the templates.

Replace {{link 'subscriptions'}} with desired text in contributions_page.hbs, requests_page.hbs and request_page.hbs templates.

Replace {{t 'following'}} with desired text in subscriptions_page.hbs template.

Thanks Trapta,

That hasn't worked. I changed the text but then nothing appears in it's place - any pointers?

and request_page.hbs does not have anything in for subscriptions

Hi @Chris,

Sorry for the late response. I cannot see that you have changed the text as per the screenshots you have shared.

Once you will change the text, your code will look like -

From

<li class="my-activities-menu__item">{{link 'subscriptions'}}</li>

To

<li class="my-activities-menu__item">UPDATED TEXT</li>

Team Diziana

All good now - thank you
