Hey Alex,

Hm, currently you would need to edit the file /administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/feeds/adapters/mapper.php and at line 195 locate the codes below,

[gist]
$contents .= '<div><a href="' . @$item->get_link() . '" target="_blank">' . JText::_( 'COM_EASYBLOG_FEEDS_ORIGINAL_LINK' ) . '</a></div>';
[/gist]

You could add the respective css class that you want on the anchor link. Do take note that this doesn't affect posts that are already imported. It only affects newly imported posts.

As for the default tags, do you mean adding a hashtag for the blog post when the post is imported? It isn't under our pipeline yet currently. Have you already posted this on the feature requests area?

Hey Hey, ok thanks, would cool to be able to change a couple of option in the back end for future reference, thanks for the snippet code it for the time being then.

As for the Tags, yeah so basically now you can insert Tags to Articles, as EasyArticles works off com_content and we are posting our rss import to com_content, we should also be able to add tags to those imported articles, and then yeah building an intergration between EasySocial's hastags and com_content tags would be cool would allow my users to be able to create filters for those hashtags. but i know its tricky so if i come up with some thing will let you know

No i havn't added it to the requests yet, i only started useing it yesterday want to see what was possible, at the moment i still find my self going back to com_content to create the articles lol, oh one thing that annoys me is the read more, i have the choice of puting it either in Intro or Main text but i can't split the text up lol, I have to go back to the article and insert the read more my self can't you also add an option that makes it X amount of Chracters are intro and the rest is main text, so that in blog view i actually have a read more and not the whole text showing from the import.


Lol i'll stop there but thats the kinda frustrating things i'm experiancing at the moment

Peace

Hey Alex,

Thanks for getting back to me on this. Ah I see, I thought you were referring to EasyBlog sorry. For EasyArticles, you need to edit the file /administrator/components/com_easyarticles/includes/importer/adapters/mapper.php and at line 94, you'll be able to see the codes below:

[gist]
$contents .= '<div><a href="' . @$item->get_link() . '" target="_blank">' . JText::_('COM_EA_FEEDS_ORIGINAL_LINK') . '</a></div>';
[/gist]

We'll try to see if we can move this into a template file instead. As for the ability to auto truncate, we don't actually manage the layout of articles on Joomla as everything would be rendered by Joomla. For EasyBlog, we are able to control this since we have the entire control of the layout. These are just some of the quirks which is also why we created EasyBlog

Ah well thats my fist mistake. Usgin EasyArticles in the frist place aha, moving to EasyBlog now ;-)

No problem Alex We created EasyArticles to allow our customers to have a choice between using Articles on Joomla versus EasyBlog. With EasyBlog, we have greater controls of what is being output on the screen rather than relying on the bare features on Joomla articles.

There are many features that can be achieved with EasyBlog out of the box like author linking etc. In Joomla articles, you don't have such possibilities.

Thanks man I've switched to Easyblog now as it aslo has a Rss importer ;-) I'm haing issues with the auto poster tho at the moment, i'll create a new topic tho

best you can close this

Thanks for the heads up on this Alex
Regarding the autopost issue we will continue discuss it on your newly created ticket
