Hello,

The new forum layout has a minor bug when trying to handle content displayed within a category "container".

I will use my VGHL Center container as an example:

On the main forum layout, we can see that the VGHL Center is displaying 10 posts out of 34 posts. When you click view all posts from this category, you are taken to a blank screen. My best guess here is that the link doesn't compile all of the posts from the 6 sub categories and just tries to generate a list from container which is empty.

Another small issue which I found which may just be an error on my settings is that I want to limit the post view on the forum screen to 5 posts and then have the following screen show 20 post per page when the user clicks view all posts . The issue is that if I set it to 5 for the forum view, it sets it to 5 everywhere else.


Thanks.
Hey Fidel,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

I've tried to connect with your FTP server, but it seems like it didn't open of your Joomla root directory folder, can you help on this?

By right, when the system detected that category is set as container, it will not display this link "View all posts from this category →" because no one can submit a discussion post in this category container. By the way, can you try download my attached file and replace into following file location and see how it goes?
JoomlaFolder\components\com_easydiscuss\themes\wireframe\forums\default.php
JoomlaFolder\components\com_easydiscuss\views\forums\view.html.php


Also I noticed this 6 discussion post posted in this category container (Leagues), then I found out it could be post these discussion from backend, because when create discussion from backend, the admin have the permission to post in these category container. By right, they shouldn't able to select these category container, this will fix it when you solve your FTP directory issue.

Also I noticed this 6 discussion post posted in this category container (Leagues)

Regarding this, you have to edit these 6 discussion post to post in other category instead of category container.

UPDATE


Hi,

I will give you the root access now to try and resolve these issues.

I have just deleted the messages from that container and the new fixes appear to have somewhat fixed the issue except for the fact that it has now created 10 links to the next screen.

Also, the category dropdown on the categories page (and my unpublished categories sidebar) are not working correctly. You can collapse a container once but then you can never expand it again.

Thanks.

Hey Fidel,

This is already fixed in 4.0.4. Can you please update to the latest version and see if the problem still persists?

Hello,

I have updated to the latest version and still have the bug seen in the attached screen shot.

Also, my recent replies side module only shows one recent reply despite the fact that it is set to four.

Thanks

Drop down issue was resolved with your latest update. The main issue of seeing all of the links at the bottom of the main forum container, along with the clicking of the link leading to a blank page still exists despite the fact that I have moved the conversations from the container and also uploaded the files which were attached to this thread.

Thanks again guys.
