Header & Description: Frontpage v Entry Layout

I have found that when I enable the header and description (Settings > Layout > Toolbar > General) that the default blog header and description show on the main blog frontpage as well as on every individual blog post view. This is, of course, redundant. To me it makes sense to show the main blog header and description on the blog landing page (frontpage) but not on the individual blog post view.

I found a reference to this issue already but it dates back to 2014. I'm wondering if the issue has since been addressed and I'm not finding the right settings? Or is the workaround described in the previous post the recommended action?

Hey Brandon,

This is actually by default and it is the standard behavior to display the blog headers across the site regardless if you are on the entry or the listing view.

If you want to modify this, you could edit the theme file /components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.php and locate the codes below:



	<?php if ($heading || $this->config->get('layout_headers')) { ?>

	<div class="eb-brand">

		<?php if ($view == 'entry') { ?>

			<h2 class="eb-brand-name reset-heading"><?php echo JText::_($title);?></h2>

		<?php } ?>



		<?php if ($view != 'entry') { ?>

			<h1 class="eb-brand-name reset-heading"><?php echo JText::_($title);?></h1>

		<?php } ?>



		<?php if ($this->config->get('layout_header_description')) { ?>

			<?php if ($view == 'teamblog' && JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'listings') { ?>

				<?php if ($this->config->get('main_includeteamblogdescription')) { ?>

					<div class="eb-brand-bio"><?php echo JText::_($desc);?></div>

				<?php } ?>

			<?php } else { ?>

				<div class="eb-brand-bio"><?php echo JText::_($desc);?></div>

			<?php } ?>

		<?php } ?>



	</div>

	<?php } ?>


Replace it with,



<?php if ($view != 'entry') { ?>

	<?php if ($heading || $this->config->get('layout_headers')) { ?>

	<div class="eb-brand">

		<?php if ($view == 'entry') { ?>

			<h2 class="eb-brand-name reset-heading"><?php echo JText::_($title);?></h2>

		<?php } ?>



		<?php if ($view != 'entry') { ?>

			<h1 class="eb-brand-name reset-heading"><?php echo JText::_($title);?></h1>

		<?php } ?>



		<?php if ($this->config->get('layout_header_description')) { ?>

			<?php if ($view == 'teamblog' && JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'listings') { ?>

				<?php if ($this->config->get('main_includeteamblogdescription')) { ?>

					<div class="eb-brand-bio"><?php echo JText::_($desc);?></div>

				<?php } ?>

			<?php } else { ?>

				<div class="eb-brand-bio"><?php echo JText::_($desc);?></div>

			<?php } ?>

		<?php } ?>



	</div>

	<?php } ?>

<?php } ?>

Hey Brandon,

I think you are copy / pasting it incorrectly. If you could provide me with the FTP, I'll get that fixed for you

I guess that's possible. Unfortunately I don't have FTP access just yet, waiting for my senior developer to create a user on the server.

Nevermind, I got it. You were correct, I copy/pasted incorrectly

That worked. Thank you very much!
