Hello Paul,

How's it going? It's been a while and hope that everything is working out for you. If I recall correctly, this could be a bug which we have already fixed internally. Could you try downloading the attached file and overwrite the file /modules/mod_easydiscuss_recentreplies/helper.php

If the problem still persists, could you provide us with your ftp access so that I can take a look into this?

Hi Mark,

Very well thanks and a very Merry Christmas to you and your team.

I tried the file but didn’t have much luck with it, so I’ve given you admin and ftp access to our staging site which you can play around with.

If you need anything else please let me know?

Many thanks,


Paul Franklin

Also, sorry to bother you with another issue but it would appear that the upgrade as cause a JSON error with the user ‘joris85’. Any ideas and feedback on that account would be appreciated.

Hello Paul,

Can you give this a try again? I have applied some fixes on the same helper.php file in /modules/mod_easydiscuss_recenreplies/helper.php . It seems like the behavior of this module has now switched to display the post author's avatar.

By the way, where are you seeing those json errors?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for that and I will give it a go!

The JSON errors are found by going to Extensions > EasyDiscuss > Users > and filter for and edit “joris85” for an example.

Got it! Fixed, can you give this a try again?

Hi Mark, great and thanks! Can I ask you what you did so I can applied the fix the live site.

Hey Paul,

Try copy this file -> JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easydiscuss/views/user/view.html.php from your site then move into live site.

Hey Paul,

Thanks for updating and I am glad that your issues are resolved now!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your team too! By the way, which part of UK are you located? I am planning to visit my relative in UK next year and certainly would want to find you for a cuppa tea

Hi Mark,

Sorry for my late reply.

I live in greater London and would love to meet up and show you around the city. You would also be welcome to come in use our offices if needed.

If you email me we can discuss this further

God bless,



Paul Franklin

Great Paul! I will most likely be visiting London in June this year and looking forward to meet up with the ArkExtensions team!
