Hello,

You should see it in the "group" admin menu of JomSocial

It don't show. I have cleared the cache and there is nothing there. (see attach) Also, on the settings of the plugin there is and option for avatar that says: show calender days. Isn't this from the other plugin for events?

Thanks

Hello Caminhos de Pax,

Can i have your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can help you check on this? Please advise.

Hi,

Ok, I'm sending the info you asked.

Regards

Hello Caminhos de Pax,

I'm really sorry that delayed of this reply,

I have checked in your site, it seems like you're using another template, so the "create a new blog" option will not appear in your drop down menu.
Because our code is refer on the Joomla default template, so I have hack this code in your file
-> JoomlaFolder\plugins\system\groupeasyblog\groupeasyblog.php
LINE 380 - 381

				// specific template

				jomsQuery(".nav.jf_profile_options ul.dropdown-menu").prepend( decodeURIComponent("' . $menu . '") );

hope this help.

Hi,

The link now shows and works fine, but when I'm writing a blog and click "send" I get this error message. (see Attach)

Thanks

UPDATE: Although I get this error, the blog is added to the main blog section and a new entry in the stream is created, but nothing shows on the group blog page.

I have applied some fixes for you on the site and it should work fine now

Hi Mark,

It's working now. The only thing that still have a problem is the phrase on the wall when I add a blog inside a group:

{Ator} created a new blog test-blog-groups in Administração

the {actor} should show the name of the user that posted the blog, but just show the tag.

Thanks

Hello,

Hm, are you on the latest version of JomSocial? I have tested this on my local instance and it works fine with the latest version http://screencast.com/t/p8rfCpuxK

I'm using jomsocial 3.2.1 and not 3.2.1.1.

In this new release they just fixed:
Bug Fix Jomsocial Installer not installing plugins.

Regards

The bugs:

1 - The phrase on the wall when I add a blog inside a group:
{Ator} created a new blog test-blog-groups in Administração
the {actor} should show the name of the user that posted the blog, but just show the tag.
This only happen on my language, in English it's ok

2 - In the list of blogs in the groups tab, the blogs don't show the blog image. It's like that, or it's a bug? Hope this is a bug, bacause images should show.

3 - The blog tab it's blank and blogs show on the discussion tab. The discussion tab show on the announcements tab and there no tab for announcements. You can see it here: http://www.comunidade-espiritual.pt/grupos/viewgroup/15-contos-espirituais
When I'm seing my own group or groups that I'm a member the tabs are ok, this only happen when I'm seeing other members groups that I'm not member.

4 - It seams that all members of a group can add blogs into it. Is there a setting for the owner make this only work for him? This is very important and crucial! I don't see that option when I edit a group and should be there.

Thanks

Then it work fine now.

2 - In the list of blogs in the groups tab, the blogs don't show the blog image. It's like that, or it's a bug? Hope this is a bug, bacause images should show.
>> That was not a bug, unfortunately that was not possible to show image at this point of the time, but i will add this suggestion in our feature request list and see if we can implement in the future.

3 - The blog tab it's blank and blogs show on the discussion tab. The discussion tab show on the announcements tab and there no tab for announcements. You can see it here: http://www.comunidade-espiritual.pt/grupos/viewgroup/15-contos-espirituais
When I'm seing my own group or groups that I'm a member the tabs are ok, this only happen when I'm seeing other members groups that I'm not member.
>> i have a little lost here, do you mean that when the non-member user click on this group ( http://www.comunidade-espiritual.pt/grupos/viewgroup/15-contos-espirituais ), the group post is show on discussion tab ?

4 - It seams that all members of a group can add blogs into it. Is there a setting for the owner make this only work for him? This is very important and crucial! I don't see that option when I edit a group and should be there.
>> Unfortunately we do not have this setting, but i have manually hack for you in this file

			// Add new blog post link in the group options

			$menu		= '';

			if( $group->isMember( $my->id ) )



//replace with



			// Add new blog post link in the group options

			$menu		= '';

			if( $group->isAdmin( $my->id ) )

Hope this help.

Hi,

1 - This is fixed now.

2 - Arlex, please. This is hard to accept, and I hope you understand. All your free modules to show easyblog content show the image, and this one that is a payed module, don't show. Please, implement that. And not only that, but allow the blogs be listed with the same template used on the main section.

3 - I mean that the group blog posts are showing in the discussion tab, yes. You can see that for yourself. The blog tab is blank. Only if I'm a member of the group I see everything on the righ place.

4 - This is not a solution. I need the owner of the group to select if he want to allow member to post or not. This is very important and crucial for this module. I don't undertand why you didn't implement that on the first place. Please add that setting to the group edit page.

About the hack, tell me what file the hack was added so I can revert back if I need.

Thanks

Any update on this issues?

Thanks

Ok, Thanks...

Do you have plans to update this module with a feature that allow the owner to select who can add blogs to the groups? This is very important!

Thanks

Hello Caminhos,

I am sorry but unfortunately we cannot allow that to happen because in order for you to post blogs into a group, you will need to be a member of the group first.

Yes, but that's not the question. I, as owner of the group, can decide that the blogs can only be posted by me, as admin, or by all members of the group. But your module don't give me that option in the groups settings.

That's the setting that are missing and that are very important for the owner to administrate their group.

Imagine that I have a group and I don't want members to post blogs, I don't have that option.

Hope you implement this soon.

Regards

Hello,

I am really sorry but we will not be adding this because this just goes against the whole privacy of JomSocial. If you have a private group, but other users can submit the blog posts into the group, then that wouldn't make sense either.

Mark, I think you are not undestanding my point here. I have made a screenshot for you to see.

That setting is like the others for photos, videos, etc... will alow the owner decide if the members can post blogs into the group or only the administrator.

This is not against jomsocial privacy. The setting will define if member of the group, not other users, can post blogs into the group or not.

Thanks

Ah, i see. Thanks for the heads up on this Will consider this for the upcoming updates.

Thanks, Mark. This is a very important feature for this module and a critical one.

And don't forget also to add to the module this hack that was made on my site to show images on the blogs list inside groups.

Hello,

Firstly, please do understand that the software is provided as is. It does not mean that we will add features simply because your site requires it. We have a feature request area at http://stackideas.com/voices/easyblog for you to submit your feature requests there

We will monitor these feature requests and work on it accordingly if we see the needs of it. Thanks for understanding.

Mark... the setting feature is not because my site requires it. This is a basic feature for the module you provide, because it can generate serious privacy issues if the owner don't want members to post blogs. He can't even disable blogs if he don't want them on their groups. So this setting should be their from the begining. And the images on the blogs, well, what to say All your free modules that show content from easyblog show images, and this one, a payed one, don't. It's not fair

Best Regards

Hello Caminhos,

Thanks for the heads up on this and there's nothing wrong with your feature requests, really. It's perfectly valid and it makes a lot of sense However, we just require you to submit them at http://stackideas.com/voices/easyblog

Ok, Mark... I have created the request here: http://stackideas.com/voices/easyblog/item/402

Thanks

Thank you Caminhos
