Hi,

I have finally moved to EasyBlog 5 but I am having issues with some of my components.

Firstly, I have a rockettheme template which uses rocksprocket components i.e. to display my latest easyblog lists etc. After installing E5, my lists no longer display, and when I click on the module in Extensions-Modules then I am presented with an sql error and no option to configure the module:
An error has occurred.
1054 Unknown column 'a.private' in 'field list' SQL=SELECT a.id, a.title, a.content, a.intro, a.excerpt, a.category_id, a.private, a.published, a.created, a.created_by, a.modified, a.frontpage, a.language, a.hits, a.publish_up, a.publish_down, a.image, a.language, a.copyrights, a.source, a.robots,f.content_id,c.title AS category_title, c.private,ua.name AS author_name,ua.name AS author_name,ROUND( SUM(v.value) / COUNT(v.id), 0 ) AS rating, COUNT(v.uid) as rating_count,l.title AS language_title,m.keywords AS metakey, m.description AS metadesc,CONCAT_WS(",", t.title) AS tags,COUNT(cc.id) AS comment_count,CONCAT_WS(",", ca.content_id) AS category_access FROM og4uq_easyblog_post as a LEFT JOIN og4uq_easyblog_featured AS f ON f.content_id = a.id LEFT JOIN og4uq_easyblog_category AS c ON c.id = a.category_id LEFT JOIN og4uq_users AS ua ON ua.id = a.created_by LEFT JOIN og4uq_easyblog_users AS eu ON eu.id = ua.id LEFT JOIN og4uq_easyblog_ratings AS v ON v.uid = a.id LEFT JOIN og4uq_languages AS l ON a.language = l.lang_code LEFT JOIN og4uq_easyblog_meta AS m ON (m.content_id = a.id AND m.type = "post") LEFT JOIN og4uq_easyblog_post_tag AS pt ON pt.post_id = a.id LEFT JOIN og4uq_easyblog_tag AS t ON t.id = pt.tag_id LEFT JOIN og4uq_easyblog_comment AS cc ON cc.post_id = a.id LEFT JOIN og4uq_easyblog_category_acl AS ca ON (ca.category_id = c.id AND ca.type = "group") LEFT JOIN og4uq_easyblog_category_acl_item AS cai ON (cai.id = ca.acl_id AND cai.action = "view") WHERE ((((c.private < 2) OR ((1 IN (CONCAT_WS(",", ca.content_id))) OR (8 IN (CONCAT_WS(",", ca.content_id))))) AND (a.published != -2)) AND a.published IN (1) AND a.category_id IN (1)) GROUP BY a.id ORDER BY a.created DESC


Secondly, I am using imagewall to display content, and in the previous version one of your support helped me change some files to include a default image for articles that did not have an image. This has now reverted back to the original problem: that articles without images are appearing as blank white spaces which look odd. I should be able to track the original post and its solution, but my question is, would it work with the new easyblog file?

Kind regards

Mel
Hi Mel,

I'm really sorry that delayed of this reply,

We have already contacted Rok Sprocket team to actually update the integrations with EasyBlog 5 and we're waiting for them to actually update us on this. Perhaps you can consult with Rok Sprocket team and see how it goes?

I think it would be best if you can find out which post thread is doing this hack for you, so that we can take a look and see is it can easier hack back to you, because Easyblog 5 inside the code part already changed a lot.

Hi Arlex

I meant to update this. I contacted Rockettheme and the issues have already been reported to them and they are apparently working on a fix for their roksprocket.

With regards to the last question, here is the thread:

http://stackideas.com/forums/easyblog-image-wall-add-a-default-image-for-articles-that-do-not-have-images

Also, has the image wall changed in terms of design? Mine doesn't look anything like it used to. The images are squashed together and it no longer has that nice effect of the partially transparent box over the text area. Would the old image wall file work ok with easyblog 5? as I think I prefer that to the new one.

Kind regards

Hi,

I have added site access details. I tried re-installing the image wall but its definitely different from how it was and has no transparency effect etc.

By the way, I already consult with our designer, this following css will be included in next release.

If you need it now, you can apply this css in your template css file

div#fd.eb.mod-easyblogimagewall .ezb-card span {
z-index: 2
}
div#fd.eb.mod-easyblogimagewall .ezb-card:before,
div#fd.eb.mod-easyblogimagewall .ezb-card:after {
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 40%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75) 100%);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 40%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75) 100%);
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 40%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75) 100%);
content: '';
display: block;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
top: 0;
z-index: 1;
}

Hi Arlex,

thanks for responding.

I have just added that code, first I tried it in my custom template file (which did nothing) then I tried it in the module's style.css and that didn't have an effect either. Is there somewhere else it should go?

Also, how do I add the default image to replace topics that do not have an image on the imagewall module? I tried your last help in this thread as mentioned earlier:

http://stackideas.com/forums/easyblog-image-wall-add-a-default-image-for-articles-that-do-not-have-images

But it doesn't work in EasyBlog 5

I have changed access to super user and also added ftp. Please may I ask that you do not install file browsers?

Kind regards

Hi Mel,

Sorry for late reply to this,

I'm not really sure when you put in your template custom css file, it doesn't load the css.

By the way, I already help you apply the css code in this file JoomlaFolder/templates/rt_audacity/css/master-webkit.css

It should display nicely now. But I've checked the code, now the Easyblog Image wall module by default only show which blog post got the image one.

Check my screenshot below. It seems like this post is imported from your RSS feed, but it stored a image URL there and if you manually open this image link -> http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/nbt/rss/current/~4/RCAidHeuW1E , it show nothing, perhaps you can temporary manually add a image in this post -> http://www.wessexlifescience.co.uk/blog/entry/a-solution-to-the-controversy-on-plant-variety-protection-in-africa
So it can show an image properly.

Hi Arlex,

Ezrul originally gave me code changes that added a default image in place of no image which worked great (it was in that link I posted earlier).

Is it not possible to do the same in easyblog 5's module?

I think now you have added the styling it looks much better (many thanks ) so if I can't add a default image like it did in easyblog 3, then its ok as it doesn't look 'as odd'.
