In reply to: Will Patterson PermalinkNo - As reported in the support forums, the modules and plugins aren't ready for 3.5 yet - So to avoid running into errors if you install 3.5 Beta on your test site then ensure there's no EasyBlog moudles / plugins there from 3.0 otherwise it is likely to throw some errors. Rather than getting the sleep and / or throwing the party they must need, I think the developers are working on the mods now.

Totally apologize for the technical issue from Plimus. If you don't mind, can we opt for PayPal instead. You can transfer the payment directly to us at admin@stackideas.com. You will also need to signup an account with us at http://stackideas.com/register and inform us your username so that we can activate the license for you, of course, once the transfer is completed in PayPal. Sorry once again for this inconvenience.

Not sure if this is the place for feedback, but here goes...
I installed it on a test server (fresh install of Joomla! 2.5.4) and went straight to have a look at the new Media Browser.
When trying to upload a file, it gets to 100% and then just says 'HTTP Error'. I tried enabling the FTP layer, which resulted in the error message:
This was for a small (300kb~) PDF file. Also tried a .docx file and got identical results.
Good luck, looks very promising.1 Like -

Thank you for the review Tom, there's a known issue in the first beta release as there was some "incompatibility" with PHP 5.2 especially but this will be fixed and will be uploaded in beta 2

Just to add:
I can upload images via the 'Upload Images' button after clicking 'Insert Media', just not via the Media Manager.
Secondly, after I've uploaded an image (which is showing in the Insert Media box), there are still no pictures listed when trying to select a Blog Image.
If that doesn't make sense, see:
Also, it seems slightly counter intuitive that to upload a document you have first press Insert Media and then Media Manager. Whilst after using it, it's clear that the first area is just for images and the Media Manager is for images and all other files, it's not that apparent the first time I used it. It just seems like there are two areas for 'Media' with no clear distinction about what each one if for.
Hope that helps

Kevin,
In EasyBlog 3.5, you'll have most of the rich snippets already in the theme files

We actually needed a location to test the implementation of these rich snippets and I guess this is the best place to do it
So what you see here is actually some of the rich snippets being ported from EasyBlog 3.5.
Currently EasyBlog 3.5 is in RC1 which you can download from the forum section. The docs are pretty much the same apart from some of the UI changes of course.0 Like
