I figured it out....thank you but my showcase is still not showing

Hello Brittany,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. To get the showcase displayed on the front page, you first need to feature a blog post. Have you already featured any blog posts on your site yet?

I got the showcase displayed on the front page but now it shows on all posts pages as well. How do I only make it so that it shows just on the front page?

Also, is there a way to change the name "recent blog posts" in my breadcrumbs module position? I would like it to say articles instead of blog.

Hello Brittany,

Just like our demo site, the showcase actually appears on all pages. If you only want it to appear on the first page, you could edit the file /components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/latest/default.php and at line 14 locate the codes below,

<?php echo $this->output('site/blogs/latest/featured'); ?>

Replace it with,

<?php if (JRequest::getInt('start', 0) == 0) { ?>

<?php echo $this->output('site/blogs/latest/featured'); ?>

<?php } ?>

To change the "Recent Blog Posts" in your breadcrumb, you'll have to edit the language file in /language/en-GB/en-GB.com_easyblog.ini and replace the string below:

COM_EASYBLOG_LATEST_BREADCRUMB="Recent blog posts"

Thank you. I was able to fix the "recent blog post" but the code that I applied for only showing the slideshow on the front page did not work. It is still showing the slideshow on all of my individual posts.

Hi Brittany Ruz,

Correct me if I'm wrong here, do you want the showcase to be display only on page one? If yes, you can try replace the file attached below in:
JOOMLA_FOLDER\components\com_easyblog\themes\wireframe\blogs\latest\default.php
and see how it goes?

P.s: You are suggested to backup the file that you want to replace beforehand

I would like the showcase only on the main blog page. I do not want it to show on the individual articles pages when I click one of the articles.

Hi Brittany Ruz,

By right the showcase will not display on entry post view. Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue? You can edit your first post by add the information needed in the site details section or you can just include your site's access once at http://stackideas.com/dashboard/site rather than needing to keep adding them in your replies.

Attached is the picture of the slideshow actually showing up on my post page. I do not want it there. Just on the main blog posts page listing all the posts.

Hello Brittany,

Based on your screen shot, that is actually a module and since you assigned the module to appear on the "blog" menu, it's actually doing it's job

What you could do is to edit the file /modules/mod_easyblogshowcase/mod_easyblogshowcase.php and at line 14, locate the codes below,

jimport('joomla.filesystem.file');

Replace it with,

jimport('joomla.filesystem.file');



if (JRequest::getVar('view') == 'entry' && JRequest::getVar('option') == 'com_easyblog') {

    return;

}

That fixed it. Thank you so much!

You are most welcome Brittany
