Hi,

I have noticed that EasySocial creates a stream item when an article is created and published. However, when I created an article with Unpublished status, and published it later on, the article never appeared in the stream. So, I think the stream will show up only when the article is created in Published status, but not when the article is created in Unpublished status and published later on. Is there any setting to maybe change anything such that the stream appears whenever an article status changes from Unpublished to Published ?

Thanks,
Aravind
Hello Aravind,

Hm, this is a little tricky because Joomla only sends the "is new" state to the plugin. If the post is unpublished and being published later, the "is new" state is no longer new.

However, if we detect the state changes between unpublished -> published, it might be a little problematic when you publish and unpublish several times. Perhaps you could enable the "Update" activity so that when you publish it, it'll come up as updated instead?

Hey Mark,

Yea, updates are currently streamed. I guess I'll have to be careful before publishing it or maybe publish on a future date.

Thanks !
