Hi,

I do not understand where and how the OSToolbar will show up in my site. Can you tell me more or give me an example of a website that has installed this toolbar? So I can see how it lokks like.

Thanx,
Maurice

Hi
I had an earlier version installed on a 1.5 site. The icon appeared in the backend, top right hand side along side view site etc. It is a superb "help" resource to site managers as it links directly to the video help tutorials. Really good if you are handing a site over to a client with little knowledge of Joomla.
Regards
Mark

Hi Maurice

Go to Components > OSToolbar.

We're going to add a dashboard icon and a toolbar icon in the next release so that it's easier to spot the tutorials.
Ask. We'll help. It's as simple as that.

Hi freshwebservices

Yes, we can dig up an Joomla 1.5 version for you. I've attached it to the post here.

We're not adding any new features or videos to it unfortunately, but it should work fine and the videos will be 1.5 specific.
Ask. We'll help. It's as simple as that.

Hi,

Quick question - we're a brand new member (hurray!) and after installing in a 2.5 site today, all that shows up is the main component. I'm not seeing where the white labeling features, global icons, etc. are located. Is this part of your current download (I thought it was by the newsletter, but maybe not). If it's not, could you please tell me how we can go about acquiring it; if it is, can you please tell me where we should go to find those features?

Thanks much!


Cheers

Kyle

Hi and welcome, Kyle!

Yes, it is. Did you just get the latest version today? The global options are all in the top right of OSToolbar. Go to Components >> OSToolbar then in the top right you'll see a button for the options.

Let me know if you need any help on this part.

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi Nick,

Yes, we just downloaded it today (actually, signed up and downloaded about 20 min. ago or so) and the options are not there. Attached is a screenshot. Perhaps I have downloaded an older version by mistake?


Cheers

Hi Kyle,

What access level do you? Is your user a super user, an admin, or something below those levels?

Hi Steve,

Thanks for that. I did in fact have the 1.5.4 download that's in the main download section, so that explains that one. Nick, I've deleted the user account I provided you access to the site with.

Thanks a lot guys!

Hi Kyle,

Great! We're glad you got things sorted!

We have a new update coming that we'll push through the Joomla extension updater on Monday, so it will be automatic updates from here on rather than manual.

Kind regards,
