Hello Tony,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply as it is actually a public holiday for most of us here in Malaysia. What you could do is to edit the theme file /components/com_easyblog/themes/default/blog.readmore.php and locate the codes below,

<a href="<?php echo EasyBlogRouter::_( 'index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id='.$row->id ); ?>">

Then replace it with,

<a href="<?php echo EasyBlogRouter::_( 'index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id='.$row->id ); ?>" target="_blank">

Almost, but not quite.

I am not looking for it to open in a new window, but just as if it were another page in the main menu.

Now I have a problem. I have copied back in the code that I was to find from above and now the link is incorrect.

The read more is linking to http://~allaccf9/dev/index.php/entry/check-out-this-custom-built-tour-bus-harley from the post and should have the IP address of the temp site in the link like http://66.147.244.187/~allaccf9/dev/index.php/entry/check-out-this-custom-built-tour-bus-harley

Found the issue in the code there was an extra "/". I have corrected that so I am now back to where I began. Would still like a way to link the continue reading and past post to be like a page of there own in the same window (tab) instead of refreshing the same page with all of the modules of the home page.

Hello Tony,

Hm, you actually just need to add the target="_blank" in the anchor link. Not really sure if I understand you here?

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to explain better. target="_blank" creates a new browser window or tab. That is not what I am looking for.

If I were clicking on a a menu item it would take me to that page of the site without a new browser window and with none of the page specific modules from the page that I came from.

That is the same type of thing that I am trying to accomplish.

It all comes down to trying to solve this issue:
Because the home page has some large modules at the top and the blog area is further down, when someone clicks "continue reading", the home page refreshes with the full post. Then the user just sees all the modules at the top and not the full post until they figure out that they have to scroll back down the same page to get back down to the full post.

Hello Tony,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a long weekend off for us here in Malaysia. Ah, okay! I get what you mean now and I am sorry if I misunderstood your request. The reason why the module is linking with the front page modules is actually because most likely you did not create any other menu item for EasyBlog.

This is what you need to do:

1. Create a new menu item which links to EasyBlog's front page layout. (Remember the "ID" for this new menu item)
2. Proceed to the settings of EasyBlog > SEO > Advanced Settigns.
3. Click on the radio box that says "Use Menu Itemid". Then, enter the id from step #1

That worked perfect for the "continue reading" link. Is there a way to do the same for the pagination links to past post?

Hello Tony,

Hm, the pagination links should also behave the same if you have set a specific menu id for EasyBlog because it would use the specified menu id as the Itemid in the url.

The link currently on "continue reading" is http://66.147.244.187/~allaccf9/dev/index.php/blog/entry/check-out-this-custom-built-tour-bus-harley

The link on page "2" in pagination is http://66.147.244.187/~allaccf9/dev/index.php/latest?start=1

Hello Tony,

Perhaps you can provide us with joomla backend and FTP access so we can check on this issue directly? It's hard to tell the root of the problem without be able to see it directly. Please advise

Is there a way to private message the login details?

Hello Tony,

I am sorry for the delay.

I've applied the fix inside your /components/com_easyblog/views/latest/view.html.php for the pagination issue. Can you verify it for me?
