Hi,

I have a blog section that has an audio file. The audio file displays fine when the blog is open, but when it is in Frontpage view, you cannot see the play button, or play the audio file - is this normal?

Secondly, in EasyBlog custom fields I have one called 'Application Process', but the word 'Process' is not fully visible. Is it possible to change the width of the column where field names are so it displays properly, or be able to wrap the text down to the next row?

Finally, more a feature request. Is it possible to add a field type of URL? one that creates a clickable link?


Kind regards

Mel
Hey Mel,

It's always advisable that you stick to 1 question per thread and this will only speed up our support response. Regarding the issue with the audio file, this isn't normal. It should display the play button if the block is visible on the front page view.

As for your second issue, I need to take a look at this on the site.

Please do post feature requests for EasyBlog at http://stackideas.com/voices/easyblog

Hi Mel,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply.

May I know which of the blog post that contain audio block on your site? I can't seems to find it anywhere on your blog site. The same goes with your second issue where I cannot seems to find the custom field "Application Process" anywhere on your site since there are so many custom fields that you have created there .

Please advise.

Hi Ezrul,

they all sit under the blog category money minutes and each of those articles has some custom fields at the bottom. I changed the text to Link to guidelines but it needs to wrap to the next line as it is only displaying a bit of the text.

Hey Mel,

I can't seem to locate the "Application Process" word that you are referring to. It would be much easier if you could just provide us with the direct link to the page.

Anyway, regarding the audio player, it seems like the image is causing the player to mess up. You can add the block of css codes below into your template's css file to fix the styling.



.eb-block-audio {

  	clear: both; 

}

Hi Mark,

I have added that, although it hasn't made any difference. I have added the url to the front pages in the site details that I was talking about. There is no play button on the audio player on those audio files.

With regards to the custom fields, I just shortened the label so its ok now
