1) I have 300 bloggers and all of them are scattered like crazy and search does not help either

try to search for Web Master(for example) you should give exact word otherwise it wont show me up.. In that case I have know the Last Name and First Name to fetch the blogger

2)Alphabetical order will make things easier

3)Blogger wont even show-up in Joomla search results(search plugin enabled)
Hello Anirudh,

I'm sorry but we do not have searches for bloggers, the search is only for tags, category, and blog post. You could search for the blog post that the blogger posted instead and go on from there. We will put it in the request list for review but we do not promise if the feature would be on the future release.

Hope that helps
Thanks:)

Really i didn't see that coming..
The search is already there but its not working proper when I give exact name.. I get it.
2) how hard is it sort them in acsending order until unless you don't want to keep your back into it.
Its really important for me as I have more than 300 bloggers.
And forget future
3)we can modify filter by recent member code to acsending if you don't want to add one more filter.

Hello Anirudh,

Sorry for the confusion, to add a filter for alphabetical order place this hack in
JOOMLA\components\com_easyblog\views\blogger\view.html.php on the line 373.

$filter[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 'alphabet', JText::_('Sort by alphabetical') );


Hope this will help you to search through your blogger.

Thanks:)

Thank You! and keep it up! but still we are long way to go as when I hit next page(page 2) they are un-organized again.

Can I know to make 'Alphabet order'as Default order as now 'Featured Bloggers' is default order

Tooptip says "search for your blogger from the site" but its impossible to find them until unless you have there passport/driving licence so that they can know there Last and First Name before they filter

One of our Member wrote a email as he searching for a Member(blogger named Mary) End of the day here could not, I guess you why?... I dont thing I am demanding something out of the Pot, Easy blog is for bloggers if we cant find the blogger what's the whole point around what we are doing here?

Hi ,

I’ve had a request from Mary to join the facebook page and when I went to the website to check if she is a member I can’t seem to get into the directory of members. It was very annoying

I clicked on Members on the menu bar at the top – is this not working properly yet? It seemed to take me to a blog page and when I tried to use the filter that didn’t work at all. Then I found the menu bar at the bottom of the page...got to the page I was wanting, but that is quite hard to use also. There was no way to search on a name, I had to scroll down using the sliding cursor which I could easily miss what I was looking for. We need to have a search field, to search by name and category (writer/photographer).

Anyway, the short of it is, can you tell me if Mary is a member as I couldn’t find her on the site.

Hello Anirudh,

To make it as a default please replace at:

JOOMLA\components\com_easyblog\views\blogger\view.html.php on the line 367.

function _getSorting($sorting_type = 'featured')


to

function _getSorting($sorting_type = 'alphabet')


I have discuss this feature with the team and we will add it in EasyBlog 4.0 hope we solve your issue. Do remember to save the hacks for future uploads.

Thanks:)

I can assure you that it did't work as I tried it before you suggested.

When is 4.0 coming?
Can you bloody index Blogger names with all the **** we index for search from toolbar or Default search?
(sorry! its so frustrating when you fail to do primary Task we meant to do?).

Thanks

Really waiting for 4.0 otherwise I have to ask for a refund, As I was the one who convinced 300+ members to move from WordPress to Joomla.
I will be ashamed to death.

Cheer's,
Anirudh.

Hello Anirudh,

I can't seem to locate your filler bar that is located here
screenshot--> http://screencast.com/t/gZIIoUy7b

please turn it on in backend -> component -> easyblog -> themes
screenshot --> http://screencast.com/t/baK9x8V1t
I could not do this for you as I do not have your backend access.

Hope that helps,
Thanks

Solution was not even near as it created more confusion than solution,,,

1) Sort by alphabetical- was not default
2)Sort by alphabetical- pagination does not work as expected(when I click on page-2 it goes back to Sort by Featured Members List)
3)Blogger Names are still not Indexed by Joomla or Easyblog itself
4)No specific date for Solution (upgrade)

Thanks for fix,
Can I know what did you do?

Among all your products EasyBlog has true potential and one of a kind in the Joomla Extensions, you should keep your focus more on it.
What I meant is Nice work....Keep it coming.
