Hi Scott,

I am sorry. I can't understand you well. What do you mean by "full blog menu structure look like". Can you please explain more so that we can understand you well.
By the way, the main menu for EasyBlog is EasyBlog Frontpage blog layout. Without this menu item, your EasyBlog will not work properly.

Hope this helps.

Hello Scott,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Hm, to be honest I am not really sure what you are trying to achieve here. Are you trying to re-create the menus that you see on the toolbar of EasyBlog on your site?

The toolbar compromises of the following:

1. Frontpage Blog Layout
2. Categories Layout
3. Tags Layout
4. Bloggers Layout
5. Team Blogs layout.

Are the same page ?

Do you have docs on the menu ? It has no structure so i can not isolate each menu item and add modules for that menu item,

How do i recreate the menu and have multiple entry pages. ? What entry pages are needed ? what structure should i use?


how can i isolate all the easyblog menu items so i can target them with modules ? I need some sort of menu to do this and thats why im asking for a diagram of a menu in the backend of joomla so i can follow it.

Hello Scott,

The reason that there's both these urls is because of the way we configure the menu structure. I am not really sure what sort of "menu diagram" do you need? All of the menus that EasyBlog provides are already listed when you create a new menu item.

The layouts that are available are located at http://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/layouts . They are not all available as we're updating our documentation.

However, if you could be specific and let me know what you are trying to achieve on your site, I could easily guide you through here. Both the links you provided earlier,

http://podartist.com/art-blog/categories.html - This links to the "All categories" layout
http://podartist.com/art-blog/art-categories/categories.html - This link is not working. How did you get this link?

That was 10 hours ago lol I removed the menu i was trying to build and left just this entry page http://podartist.com/art-blog.html
I know they were listed but i could not see the TREE STRUCTURE ! i was just guessing.

Have you ever seen a easyblog site where they hide your menu and have their own? thats what i want my own fully working menu and hide yours.

I cant say it any other way. !

If i turn your menu off i need something else to replace it, so i have to build it, what should it look like. ?

no good so im back to this >>>>
http://podartist.com/art-blog/categories.html
http://podartist.com/art-blog/art-categories/categories.html

These are the same page. ?

No matter what i do i get urls like this.? I just want a menu so i can assign modules to it ? I cant get one item switching correctly never mind the categories, tag pages I will be adding and will need to target those with their own modules.


I know of no way to do this without a menu item to assign modules to. ?

Hello Scott,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Let me get this correctly, you want to disable the toolbar of EasyBlog and convert those menu links on the toolbar to your site menu instead am I correct?

Hello Scott,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Ah okay, it's actually really simple:

1. Home icon - Frontpage blog layout
2. Categories icon - Categories layout (All Categories)
3. Tags icon - Tags layout
4. Bloggers icon - Bloggers layout (All Authors)
5. Team blogs icon - Team Blog Layout
6. Login icon - There is no menu item for this
7. Compose icon - Write Layout (Dashboard)
8. Quick update icon - Share Story (dashboard)
