1. Is there a way for a user to search for a certain blogger? I tried setting my website up so the user could use the search feature in the dashboard toolbar but this seems to only search for keywords within an article and doesn't search for Blogger Names.

2. When a user looks at the blogger page it shows a list of bloggers that have posted a blog. Can I edit the look of this so that it just shows the Blogger name? right now it shows the name with the profile information underneath.

3. Is there a way to change how the category list shows up on the page? Right now it shows the parent category name with all subcategories below that. I would like to change this so that it just shows the parent category and then you could click on that to show all of the subcategories.

4. On the write new post screen can I remove the Permalink, Tag section, and Publishing Options section?

Thanks for the excellent support!
Hello Jeff,

Is this issue already resolved? It seems like your Insert dropdown is not visible anymore.

Thanks

On the tool bar you could find the filter in blogger listings, make sure you show blogger filter bar in, backend > easyblog > themes > your themes

2. When a user looks at the blogger page it shows a list of bloggers that have posted a blog. Can I edit the look of this so that it just shows the Blogger name? right now it shows the name with the profile information underneath.

Place this in your custom template CSS
#ezblog-bloggers .profile-bio, #ezblog-bloggers .profile-connect {
display:none;
}

#ezblog-bloggers .profile-title {
margin-bottom: 0;
}


3. Is there a way to change how the category list shows up on the page? Right now it shows the parent category name with all subcategories below that. I would like to change this so that it just shows the parent category and then you could click on that to show all of the subcategories.

I may have to do a hack in your site, please provide us with the Joomla back end access as well as the FTP access so that I can apply it to your site by removing it from the views file.

4. On the write new post screen can I remove the Permalink, Tag section, and Publishing Options section?

There is no setting to disable these option. Do you prefer to CSS hide it, please advice?

Thanks:)

Thanks. I have a couple of requests and questions:

1) You responded to one of my questions:
If you can provide me with both the back end and FTP access to the site, I could quickly add some hacks for you. Let me know.
How do I provide you with this access?

2) When you have access to hack I would like:
a) a fix discussed in inquiry #18462
b) change the category list to show the parent only, then when clicked on have it show all sub categories within the parent, then when the sub category is clicked have it show all articles related to the sub category.

3) Could you provide me with some CSS codes for the following relating to the Write New Post form?
a) Hide the category dropdown
b) Remove "Insert Image" from the Insert dropdown
c) Remove "Insert/edit image" from the symbol toolbar (this is right above where you begin writing)
d) Add spell check to the toolbar
e) Add character count

4) General Website Question:
The log at the top of my website shows up perfect on all browsers except IE. In IE the logo takes up the entire screen so you have to scan way down in order to view the content on the page. Do you know how to fix this?

Thanks again for your excellent support! I am very impressed with the responses.

Jeff

Hello Jeff,

You could provide your access details (username/password) down below where only the support team could view it. Without this info we could not make the hacks for you

Thanks:)

Hello Jeff,

2)
a) a fix discussed in inquiry #18462

We will reply that in the ticket. Please provide us with access in that ticket as well.

b) change the category list to show the parent only, then when clicked on have it show all sub categories within the parent, then when the sub category is clicked have it show all articles related to the sub category.

I had insert this css hack to hide the sub category in category listings. Sorry to say, but I could not ass related articles to sub categories because related articles in easyblog is filtered by tags and not categories.
#ezblog-category .profile-child.ptm.small {
display: none;
}



3)
a) Hide the category dropdown
b) Remove "Insert Image" from the Insert dropdown

Please contact TinyMCE to remove it properly, I could not do the css hide due to the changing CSS id.


c) Remove "Insert/edit image" from the symbol toolbar (this is right above where you begin writing)

I include this to in your custom CSS template.
#ezblog-dashboard .write-postinfo {
display: none;
}

#ezblog-dashboard #mce_60 {
display: none;
}

#ezblog-dashboard #mce_26 {
display: none;
}


d) Add spell check to the toolbar
e) Add character count

Spell check is done my your editor and not easyblog, some editor does provide spell checker and word count, besides you have your default browser spell checker, please advice?
