Hello Mark,

After installing EasyBlog 5 I have noticed a few things. One is that it is great but it did throw out a lot of 404 errors and it did post blogs that were written months ago. Kind of odd.

Anyway here is my list of concerns:

1. Is there a way to keep the random module and latest Blog module from appearing on all pages? I have it set to appear only on the homepage but if you click on a different article category it will appear on that category page. See this link where it goes to category "Appy Hub" but it still shows homepage latest and random blog modules.

2. Is there a to sort the author list by alphabetical instead of the default latest. See screenshot. Is there a switch in the back-end that I may have missed.

3. The JCE editor in the author profile page is overlapping and I noticed several <br/> tags - how could I get rid of them. It appears within the code somewhere.

Could you please tell me what I need to do as I cannot allow you access as this is on a testing server. I also noticed speed issues and in Firefox that the Twitter button doesn't always show but in Chrome all works well.

Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Rob
Hey Rob,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

Yes, the reason why both module will appear on all the Easyblog page is because you set your Easyblog(Post) Frontpage menu as default homepage.
To fix this, you have to create all of your current categories to single category menu item, so the post URL will include the category menu item id, then both module will not appear on all the Easyblog page.

2. Is there a to sort the author list by alphabetical instead of the default latest. See screenshot. Is there a switch in the back-end that I may have missed.

You can change the sorting from backend > Easyblog > settings > layout > Author's Listing Ordering

3. The JCE editor in the author profile page is overlapping and I noticed several <br/> tags - how could I get rid of them. It appears within the code somewhere.

May i know how to replicate this? If possible can you provide us with some screenshot regarding this issue?

It would be best if you can upload your test site to live server, so that we can check on this.

Hi Arlex,

Hope all is well. Actually I ran some scripts that came with EasyBlog (?just found them) and it seems everything is okay. Just one last question.

Could you tell me what blog row in MySQL would contain the articles or blogs. I have over 9000 articles and I want to export them and then import them once I install EasyBlog from version 5 on alive server.

So knowing what rows to export and import would be beneficial.

Thank you for your previous answer.

Regards,
Rob

Hey rob,

The blog article is actually stored in this table #__easyblog_post.

But what my suggestion is export all the Easyblog table from your old site then import in your new site, after imported only install the Easyblog component, so it will not causing a lot of issue.
