I would like to add a menu item to the site that allows the user to view any DRAFT posts that they have created.

I set up the menu to point to the following:

Draft Menu -> EasyBlog -> (Dashboard) Drafts Layout

When I deploy this menu item EasyBlog goes to the (Dashboard) Statistics page and not the Drafts page. The page says STATISTICS and doesn't show the users draft posts. See image below.

I then go to the POSTS page and the draft post is listed in the list of posts as show in the list below.

I think this may be an issue and can be easily reproduced.
Hey Daniel,

Hm, correct me if I am wrong but if I recall correctly we don't actually have a menu item which links to the dashboard's draft layout. Am I missing anything here?

Mark,

I've attached a screen shot of the Menu Selection to Drafts Layout in Easy Blog V5.0.24

So it is there in the product.

Hi Daniel,

Hm. That's odd. Here is the screenshot of my easyblog menu layout, http://screencast.com/t/xaFW1VEQ . In easyblog 5 menu item Dashboard - Revisions layout is used for draft page. Perhaps you can try to change it to dashboard revisions layout and see how it goes?

Ezrul and Mark,

Don't know why my EasyBlog installation has a different Menu List. Compare the two images.

I'm running EasyBlog on Joomla 3.4.3 and I installed EasyBlog 5 over a very old version.

I've updated the Site Details if support wants to go in and take a look for themselves

Hey Daniel,

I am sorry that delay of this reply,

I have help you created another new menu item `revision layout` in your site, so when you click on this menu item, it will show you the revision post. if you would like to see the draft post, you have to select the `draft` and click `filter` button.

Hope this help.

Thanks Arlex

That will work just fine for me. Revision Layout gives just what I'm looking for with the filter.
