I am looking for a tutorial or assistance on how to do two things in EasyBlog as I'm trying to build a custom landing page.

1) What is the process for showing links to specific posts?

2) Is there any technical documentation on the general behind the scenes processing that is taking place?

Thank you Ethan.

I am trying to a get list of the blog entry Ids so I can create a page where there are blog post links that are not in any particular order. (See the attached image.)

In other words I want to be able to develop a link to a blog post in the same form that EasyBlog does on the Frontpage but not in the order you provide.

index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id=6&Itemid=281

This will allow me to build a landing page where I can show links to the underlying Blog Posts in the manner that we need.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Brooke,

I am sorry as I still can't understand you well and I apologize as I assume here that you want to know how to generate the link? You can use this code as a guide:

$model = EasyBlogHelper::getModel( 'Blog' );
$posts = $model->getBlogsBy(...);

for ($posts as $post){
$url = EasyBlogRouter::_('index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id=' . $post->id . $itemId );
}


By the way, our hands are pretty tied to our existing development right now and unable to assist you on this customization. If this a priority, please do post them on our sales section at https://crm.stackideas.com and our sales department would get back to you with a proper quote. I will try to assist you when I have extra time.

Hope this helps and please advise.
