Can I edit a current article which was created by JCE Editor or convert it?
Hey Nauseous,

Yep, and you don't need to convert anything. Any articles that was created by Joomla articles will appear in EasyArticles automatically

No conversion or whatsoever is needed.

OK, so why is the article still view-able in JCE?

I'm trying to keep my articles standard with composer in Easyblog but when editing, the editor is JCE when I have specifically made the editor as default in Easyblog.

Thanks Mark

Hello Nauseous,

Ah sorry, I thought you were referring to EasyArticles. If you are referring to EasyBlog, you can't convert the JCE items into EasyBlog's built in composer because currently with the built in composer, it contains rich meta data that doesn't exists in the html generated by JCE.

Oh thanks. So I would have to delete the article and recreate with composer? If so can I create an alias of the article, then save as the original article ID?

Idea here is to recreate the article while keeping the article accessible in Joomla by the users, then replacing it with the composer version of the article.

Any idea how I could do this? I would think a copy and paste but composer doesn't have that option.

Yes, the only way can achieve this is re-create the article using built-in composer.

But unfortunately that was not possible to store back the original article ID.

Maybe that would be a great addon or conversion option in your next release? :-)

Thanks Arlex

You're welcome Nauseous

But unfortunately that was not possible to convert JCE content data into Easyblog build-in composer because the way we render content in Easyblog is different. That is why have to re-create the blog content in build-in composer.
