Hello Stackideas!

I upgraded Easyblog to the 5.1.5 version yesterday. Unfortunately, not everything went right. I'd like to show you some issues I'm now facing :

Here is a classic article you can find on my website. Everything is OK :
https://loltracker.com/articles/mise-a-jour-sur-le-pbe-18-04

Let's see now how it displays on the frontpage :
https://loltracker.com/articles
Here's the result : http://i.imgur.com/hPmNJnk.jpg
The problem is that we have those youtube videos displayed in the frontpage, even if they're not a part of the introtext, and even if EB isn't supposed to display the full article on the frontpage (As you can see, the article above is displayed properly).

This problem occurs on some other articles, but I don't know why. Some examples :
Article : https://loltracker.com/articles/mise-a-jour
Frontpage : http://i.imgur.com/12b2X9z.jpg (Icons appearing while not in the introtext).
Article : https://loltracker.com/articles/mise-a-jour-sur-le-pbe-12-04-1-1
Frontpage : http://i.imgur.com/5YuLavz.jpg (Images appearing while not in the introtext).

I don't know if it's easily reproducible, but there are many articles on my website with the same configuration (Images/Vidéos not in the introtext, and properly not displayed on the frontpage).


I also have some questions about the new EB :


  • Where can I find the autosave feature for my posts? It looks like it's still enabled, but I remember there was an option to change the frequency of savings.
  • Where's the search function on the media manager? Did you remove it?
  • Is it possible to change the thumbnails on the media manager? They're currently taking the top left of the picture, instead of the all the picture, which can make a bit difficult theire selection because you're not always sure of what the picture is (Example : Thumb http://i.imgur.com/f05F6ao.jpg ;
  • Complete pic : http://i.imgur.com/SzFvEdK.jpg)
  • About the AMP support, is there something to know about how it works? I didn't find something on the documentation, and it's not something that I looked a lot before it went on EasyBlog.
You can find this error here :
https://loltracker.com/articles/dev-l-animation-de-xayah?format=amp

There are more example with different errors if you want to see some of them.

Yes, this issue will solve in next release version, by the way, i already applied some fix in this file administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/image/image.php, it should render correctly now.

I already consult with our designer regarding this, if you would like to show the full thumbnail image on the media manager page, the only way to achieve this is apply this following custom css into your template css file.

Will it be included on the next release? If yes, I'll just wait

We will not include this in next release, I already help you applied those custom css into this file
JoomlaFolder/templates/rt_oculus/html/com_easyblog/styles/custom.css
It should populate full image on the media manager now.

Hello Philidia,

Sorry for the delay of this reply, got caught up with several releases today. If you update to 5.1.6, the issues that you face should no longer be there.

As for your other questions,


Where can I find the autosave feature for my posts? It looks like it's still enabled, but I remember there was an option to change the frequency of savings.

We simplified the settings by not allowing any settings at all for this. By default, they are now automatically triggered at 90 seconds interval.


Where's the search function on the media manager? Did you remove it?

Yes, the search has been removed as of now, but we will find a better way to tweak this.

This is probably because you configured EasyBlog to crop the post cover. You can configure them here, http://take.ms/BFjtK


About the AMP support, is there something to know about how it works? I didn't find something on the documentation, and it's not something that I looked a lot before it went on EasyBlog.

AMP is activated by default, and you don't really need to do anything. As soon as Google starts crawling your sites, they will appear on search engines with a nice little bolt icon

I did it earlier, but the same problem is happening :/

Good to know

I don't think it's related. Those 2 options were not check : http://i.imgur.com/9SzUEpT.jpg

In fact I'm asking because of that : http://i.imgur.com/CZYIl1U.jpg
There are many things that makes the test website saying it's not a valid AMP. That's why I wanted to know if there was anything to do.

I believe you already test wrong URL, you have to add ?format=amp behind of the URL.
e.g.
https://loltracker.com/articles/mise-a-jour-sur-le-pbe-26-04-1?format=amp


I also realised some of the bug if the image link showing this following format, it will not processing that AMP image format, for now i have temporary modify this from this blog post image link become relative path, now it show valid AMP page.

<img src="/images/...">
<img src="//site.com/images/..">

You can check my attached screenshot below.

Regarding this, I will log this issue into our issue tracker.

May i know this one is it you referring on the media manager photo listing page? You can check my screenshot here : http://take.ms/QyXTw
If yes, I will report this to our developer regarding this and see if we can do something about it.

I already consult with our designer regarding this, if you would like to show the full thumbnail image on the media manager page, the only way to achieve this is apply this following custom css into your template css file.

#eb .eb-nmm-media__embed-item {
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
}

So it will show the full image on media manager photo listing page, you can check my attached screenshot below.

That's what I did. There are some problem when I use it. Like some php errors :

Warning: getimagesize(//loltracker.com/images/easyblog_articles/4709/b2ap3_large_imageXayah.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/redtrack/public_html/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/image/image.php on line 417
