Hi

I would like to replace the "recent blog post" frontpage from easyblog with the minitek wall. How am I doing this the best way?

My first idea was to create a new menu item for the minitek wall and removed the one from easyblog. As you now this won't work because the blog posts then have no menu item to be displayed with and so always the frontpage is displayed if I try to view a blog post.

Second idea was to display the minitek wall module on top of the recent blog post page. But that won't work too because the minitek wall module would always be displayed also in detail view of a blog post (it's the same menu item).

Hmmm, what's best practice here? Can you please give some tipps?

Thank you very much in advance and best regards, Stefan
Hey Stefan,

Unfortunately that would not be possible and the only way to really do this is for you to modify the theme file in /components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/latest/default.php

What you could do is to modify the codes so that the front page of EasyBlog would render modules here

if you take a look of this file components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/latest/default.php , you will notice only 4 module position available in Easyblog frontpage.

Hi Arlex

Thank you for your reply. I've done it with a more brutal method .

1. I've created the minitek wall module with a custom module position.
2. I've created an override for the wireframe latest default.php.
3. Removed all the EB related code within the default.php.
4. Added Joomla code to load my custom module position.
5. Works ...

Kind regards, Stefan
