Just want to jump in and say I have the same issue, and I was also able to re-create it on your EasyBlog Frontend Demo site. I have seen this problem on my site since 5.0.19.

After choosing a block dropzone, it becomes impossible to choose the block again to edit unless using the Blocks browser tab. This is only part of the problem though, because even when you find where to put the HTML, it is not saved or displayed on the post at all. I have included my site details if anyone from support would like to take a look.

edit to add: issue still exists after update to version 5.0.22

I have been doing more troubleshooting with this and can report that I experience the problem using either Firefox and Internet Explorer, and it does not seem to matter what type of post or where the block is dropped, the custom HTML is never saved or displayed at all. When I examine the web server error log, there are no entries regarding this issue. I have tried this on two separate sites and I can also recreate the problem on demo.stackideas.com so I do not think it is security or configuration related.

Anyway... just bumping for a response from support I know you're all busy but I think we've got a real bug here and hope you're at least aware of it... or if it's a browser/client issue hopefully you can help us poor fellows who can't seem to get it to work.

Hi there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply. We cannot replicate the issue in our local as you can see from my screenshot here, http://screencast.com/t/ml9zDJfWB but for some reason the issue is only happening on your site. We are still investigating on the issue right now and hopefully we can find something there. Thank you for your kind understanding.

Well... then it's happening at least on 2 sites, mine and CC Group's

Thanks

Hi Niccolo,

It seems like your js file for composer is not properly compiled and that is the reason why there are some issue with html block on your site. I've recompiled the script by running /index.php?option=com_easyblog&compile=1&minify=1&section=composer and the block is working correctly now.

CC Groups,

I've done the same on your site and the html block is working correctly now.

I am sorry but I am still having this issue today, both in the for the html block and the youtube block.
I tried to embed a video via the youtube block, but it doesn't work, so I tried to insert the youtube embed code using the html block, but it doesn't work either

Hi Niccolo,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it weekends for all of us here.

I've tried to create and publish blog post on your site with html block and youtube block and it seems like its working correctly as you can see from the test blog post here, http://infinitemandala.com/blog/test-blog-kindly-ignore . Am I missing something here?

I am having the same issue with 5.0.32 cannot save html content into a block.

I also have the same problem, version 5.0.32. In addition on block HTML (Add Block > HTML) I must to click about ten times.... Tested on Firefox and Chrome.

Also I would like to ask whether it is possible to create a template with the HTML code in the "Editor - None". In my case is possible to create a template only with "Built In - EasyBlog Composer".

Hey guys,

If you are having issues with the HTML block, you will need to set EasyBlog to be running on development mode. This is a known issue which we are still checking on.

As for creating a template, it is currently not possible for Joomla's WYSIWYG editors. For EasyBlog 5.1, we plan to make these templates work on WYSIWYG editors

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your help. Works it well in development mode

When creating a template with an HTML block I use css styles? If yes, to what css file I have to insert the new rules?

One more thing. When creating own a template where I have to insert a "template-thumb" for display a preview in the "Select a template to begin writing your post?"

PS: Perhaps it is premature to ask when will the new version with a WYSIWYG editor?

I am not too sure what do you mean by "when creating a template with an html block I use css styles" ? Can you please elaborate more on this please?

My bad english ... When I add html block to the new template, I want to use into the html code also CSS styles. Up to which an external file I have write new css rule? Or style must only be inserted into HTML code in block?

Hey Jan,

I would suggest that you add your css codes into your template's css file rather than adding it into the blog post

Hello! How do I put EasyBlog into development mode? Our html blocks will not work either. We drop them in, at the code into the field off to the right and all the code disappears as soon as we click out of the field. Quite frustrating. Is dev mode something we will need to switch in and out of each time we want to use html blocks?

Hey Bethany,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

You can switch it from backend > Easyblog > settings > system > system environment mode - development, you can refer on my screenshot below.

You can temporary switch this to use development mode, don't worry because it will not causing other issue in your site.

I also have this problem. Development mode is switched on. I find composer really buggy.

I see my code in the HTML block now, but I can't see it in the front end.

Also, how do we add an intro image to an item? Some of our blog posts have them and others do not, we are struggling to understand why.

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

Can you start a new thread regarding with your issue and provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so that we can easy to manage your current issue?

By the way, this issue already solved in latest version of Easyblog 5.0.36.

Also, how do we add an intro image to an item? Some of our blog posts have them and others do not, we are struggling to understand why.

Currently I can't tell you what is the reason some of your blog post do not show the intro image yet, because I would like check on your blog post content structure and your current blog setting first.

Same issue here... dev mode is not helping

I am on mac. used Safari Chrome and FF for testing...

J3.6.4.
EB 5.0.40

Strange that an issue like this one is not solved yet...
