Hello,

Try to access the ACL section of EasyBlog and click on the group that you are assigned to and click on the text filters tab. See if iframe is disallowed there?

Hi-
I never used the ACL section on any of my sites and also did not see any assignment to the user groups, where I could disallow editing features. I did assign myself as site owner and administrator as user- of course without restrictions and yes- now the iframe code works. So what happened? Is this new in easyblog that one has to assign subscribers to being able to create a blog entry?

Hello Fas,

So sorry for the delay in getting back to you. In JCE there is a restriction in the backend. Please go to backend -> System -> Global Configuration -> Text Filters. Here is the restriction default to Joomla. You can change the settings here. Hope this helps.

Thanks!

Hi Adelene-

No that is not very helpful- if you re-read my initial post, that is exactly what I did- change the filters in JCE whilst Joomla and K2 responded on the change- Easyblog did not. This has cost me about 10-12 hours in trying all kinds of stuff. A total waste of time.
I have been using Easyblog for over 2 years now and never paid much attention to it- since it worked. Nowadays I do find that the tool does not respond to changes in settings any longer in several cases and is also loading somewhat slower. I find all kind of kiddies social integration s that at least I have no need for, but the flawless integration with other CORE Joomla extensions is for the birds.
Examples are sh404sef- where you have to be real careful with notifications and sharing , since the system does not provide the SEF url and can antagonize subscribers with non-existing links and of course JCE- the editor that everybody uses- and even has ACL profiles which could be nicely used in Easyblog.
But no- Stackideas has to create new "competitors for Facebook" instead of keeping their core product up-to-speed.
I am pissed off.

Hello Fas,

Can you please provide us with the Joomla back end access to the site, FTP access and also the code snippet that you are trying to embed so that I can test this on your site?

Like I mentioned in my first reply- it is all cleared now.

Frustration remains

Ah, sorry I think my colleague misunderstood you and I misunderstood my colleague These new changes was added since EasyBlog 3.2 or so I believe and it's more of a security feature because EasyBlog was created for multi bloggers where you allow authors to post blog posts on the site. Some users however face security issues where your blogger adds a snippet of javascript which causes xss attacks. The ACL within EasyBlog protects you from this.

If you are the only user posting the blog, it is fine since you wont cause harm to your own site
