Overriding Sociable layouts

Sociable comes by default with themes for bootstrap2, bootstrap3 and bootstrap4. You can override any of these themes to create your own theme.

How to override a theme

To override a theme, copy a theme folder from components/com_sociable/layouts/themename to /templates/yourtemplatename/html/layouts/com_sociable/themename. Each theme has set of php files for complete forum pages. Modify the required layout with your changes. Here is the summary of list of layouts which you can override:

  • activity- this folder contains all layouts related to activity stream
