Hi,

When creating an Announcement in Easysocial, the editor appear (TinyMCE in my case).

Unfortunately, when saving, none of the formatting is saved. See Screenshot


Also, I installed the editor RedactorJS but when I enable it, I cannot see any of the buttons icons. See second screenshot.

Could you help me fix those issues. This is on my test site.

Thank you very much.
Hi Aikigi,

Thanks for reporting it seems like that was a bug.

You can download the file I have attach and put it in this file path here and see how it goes
JoomlaFolder\media\com_easysocial\apps\event\news\controllers\news.php

Hope that helps

Best regards
Chris

Hi Chris,

Thank you very much, the formatting is working find now.

Now, the "read more" isn't working. Is there a way to configure the maximum characters to show in activity stream? Right now I can see the entire post which is to long.

Also, would you know how to fix the RedactorJS issue I mention in the original post?

Thank you.

Hi Aikigi,

To configure the maximum characters to show in activity stream

login to your backend->Easysocial->Applications

On the search menu toolbar Filter by Applications and Event->Select Event News (please refer to the screenshot)

http://screen.stackideas.com/truncation_step_1_001.png

Select Events View->Content Length->set the length of characters you prefer
http://screen.stackideas.com/truncation_s2_001.png

Select Stream Stream View->Content Length->set the length of characters you prefer
http://screen.stackideas.com/truncate_s3.png

Then click save and close.

You should have an output like this http://screen.stackideas.com/truncateeventoutput.png

I am sorry I have missed your previous question, it seems like you did not attach the screenshot. Can you guide us how to enable the Redactor JS editor and attach the screenshot for us so that we can further assist you on this issue. Also as for the read more button can you please clarify further. Because when I test on your site it works.

Best regards
Chris

Hi,

About the event news maximum characters to show in activity stream, it seems that there is an issue on my site. When going to Easysocial / Applications / Event — News, I'm missing all the configuration options as you can see in the screenshot! It is the same issue with groups.



About the RedactorJS editor, it is now the default editor. You can see that when writing an annoucement (news) in event, the editor doesn't show any icons. See screenshot.

Thank you.

Hello Aikigi,

I am sorry for the delay of thsi reply.

About the event news maximum characters to show in activity stream, it seems that there is an issue on my site. When going to Easysocial / Applications / Event — News, I'm missing all the configuration options as you can see in the screenshot! It is the same issue with groups.

I believe you've went to fields application rather than the application itself. The configuration settings is located under application type. Refer my screenshot here for better view. http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-05-29_1042.png

About the RedactorJS editor, it is now the default editor. You can see that when writing an annoucement (news) in event, the editor doesn't show any icons. See screenshot.

It seems like there is some css issue that causing conflict with redactor button styling. I've change one of the css properties under the following css element inside your /components/com_easysocial/themes/frosty/styles/base.min.css :
body div#fd a {
background: transparent;
}

/* Replace with */

body div#fd a {
background-color: transparent;
}


It should displaying properly now, http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-05-29_1146.png . Hope these help.
