I have purchased and installed EasyDiscuss as per the Installing EasyDiscuss instructions.

Upon investigation, I see the functionality of the demo and what I have installed seem to be at odds. Such things as the most recent discussions and tag cloud are not to be found on my installation.

In addition, I am seeing CSS issues (see attachment where dropdown is no fully visible and text entry feild is only two lines) when posting questions.

Please advise.
Hello Hugh Thompson,

Can you share with us on how to replicate the select and text field text cut off?

Tried with Firefox and Chrome, both looks fine.

As noted, I have installed EasyDiscuss as per the installation instructions. I have made no changes. Frankly, I expected the installation to replicate the look of the demo and possess the same functionality.

Regarding the text cut off, I can see it fine in the Microsoft Edge browser but its problematic in Chrome. The problem with only two lines in the text box is found using both Chrom end the edge browser.

More importantly, can you explain the lack of the tag clould etc that are missing from my installation.

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

As noted, I have installed EasyDiscuss as per the installation instructions. I have made no changes. Frankly, I expected the installation to replicate the look of the demo and possess the same functionality.

Do you mean you would like to display exactly same as our demo site? http://demo.stackideas.com/easydiscuss

Regarding the text cut off, I can see it fine in the Microsoft Edge browser but its problematic in Chrome. The problem with only two lines in the text box is found using both Chrom end the edge browser.

Is it possible provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can able to directly test in your site on our different browser and see is it can reproduce this issue?

You can provide your site detail into this page -> http://stackideas.com/dashboard/site

More importantly, can you explain the lack of the tag clould etc that are missing from my installation.
Do you mean you do not have tag cloud module display on your Easydiscuss page?
If yes, you have to download all the Easydiscuss module from http://stackideas.com/downloads/modules then install in your Joomla.
If you need help on this, I will assists you on this.

Honestly, I don't have the time to go back and forth.

I am trying to install this script so my customer has what he sees on the demo page of your site.

If there are additional modules and plug-ins to install to replicate the demo, can you please articulate a list of the modules and plug-ins that must be installed, what their purpose is, and where they can be found.

Most software providers will include this information with the install instruction or include them in the original download with appropriate instructions.

You say

http://stackideas.com/downloads/modules



Then what is this link?

http://stackideas.com/downloads/plugins

Are they included in the link you provided?

Is there documentation for these plugins / modules describing what they do?

Is there a reason why you don't include these modules / plugins in the initial download and / or mention them in the installation instructions?

Are there other things that Customers should be aware of?

Honestly, the lack of instructions really make me question the quality of support. My gut is to tell my client to get a refund. Obviously they will decide but after showing them the installation instructions which make no mention of the modules / plugin's necessary, they are left wondering.

Hi Hugh,

My huge apologies for not pointing this correctly.

You can download the modules through this link: http://stackideas.com/downloads/modules

And the plugin via this link: http://stackideas.com/downloads/plugins

Here is the documentation of EasyDiscuss product: http://stackideas.com/docs/easydiscuss/administrators/welcome

And here is a guide to download the modules: http://stackideas.com/docs/easydiscuss/administrators/how-tos/how-to-download-easydiscuss-modules

As for the documentation for EasyDiscuss modules and plugins, our content writer are working on this.

> Honestly, the lack of instructions really make me question the quality of support. My gut is to tell my client to get a refund. Obviously they will decide but after showing them the installation instructions which make no mention of the modules / plugin's necessary, they are left wondering.

Thank you for pointing this out. We will improve our installation user experience by providing related link and instruction so that our software and users can kickstart their project smoothly.

Please advise, thank you
