I am having an issue whenever I publish the Easy Blog Category module, it doesn't allow the page to load
Hi Bonitto,

Try to download and install this file in your backend and see how it goes

Hi Bonitto,

I've checked your site and the module work smoothly. May I know how can I replicate this? Can you provide us a screenshot of the issue, so that we can take a look on this issue.

If the module is published it causes a 500 error. I have left it as published now please check the blog page again...

Hi Bonitto,

I've checked your module and found out that you are using outdated module. You might want to install the latest category module which you can find it when installing EasyBlog 5.0

So I have to reinstall EasyBlog to download modules? That seems kind of silly no? Especially since you guys used to offer them in a downloads section.

Thanks Zue. Could StackIdeas please add these modules for download in the event something goes wrong. We shouldn't have to reinstall the whole application just to install a module.

Reinstalling EasyBlog doesn't really do any harm as your data will remain in tact We'll see what we can do in the future to simplify this.

It may not be a problem in your opinion but doesn't but it surely makes adding new modules an annoying task if a user doesn't want to install ALL of your modules at once and would prefer to install only what they need. I think you guys are not accounting for when Blog requirements may change for users.

Users may want to add other modules as their site grows instead of adding a whole lot of bloat for modules they'll never need/use, which is kind of why Joomla has been in the process of decoupling unneeded components.

Here's another suggestion. When there are upgrades and we reach the step where we want to choose which modules to install, it would also be user friendly to have the modules already installed auto selected so that the user understands which modules they have installed already.

The problem with the existing user flow is that since there are so many modules, the user has to remember which modules they've installed. So if the modules that are already installed were preselected, it would make the process of upgrading easier.
