Is there a way to take out the author name and image in the email notifications for new posts since all my posts will be by the same author (me)?! I'm attaching a screen shot of how it looks now...
Hi Jacki,
You can remove the author avatar and name by template overriding the email template for new posts(http://take.ms/uEmKJ, http://take.ms/hPXSu).

Thanks - Is it possible to copy this file to the custom overrides area so it won't get erased when updating? Like you had me do for the template.php (emails>html>template.php)...

Also, what controls my image size in the email notification? I have it set to show the beginning of the post but the image is showing full screen in the email and getting stretched and looks bad! Here's a screenshot of this...

Sorry - keep finding more issues! In my RSS subscription, the notifications are coming with 2 version of the image - see screenshot. What is causing this and how do I fix it?! Thanks so much!

Hey Jacki,
If you use the email template editor in the backend(http://take.ms/pQtZV), the system will automatically create the override file for you when you save the edited file.
If you wish to do so manually yourself, the override path is here: JoomlaFolder/templates/yourcurrentTemplate/html/com_easyblog/emails/html/post.new.php

As for the other 2 issues, can you provide us your backend and ftp access at http://stackideas.com/dashboard/site so we can take a closer look? Thanks.

Hey Jacki,
Looks like those 2 issues are caused by some bugs. I will log these issues in our tracker so the devs can investigate further.

I've been trying to find where this is happening and have found it's something to do with this code in the script:


<td bgcolor="#ffffff">
<table role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td style="padding: 0 20px 40px; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #555555; text-align: left;">
<p style="margin: 0;"><?php echo $blogIntro; ?></p>
</td>



What is handling the formatting of the $blogIntro piece of this script? If that can be changed so the image isn't resized to fit full width across the email window, that would fix it I believe...

Hey Jacki,
We do not have a definite time as to when this will be fixed. As for a temporary fix, perhaps you can download my attached file below and apply it into the following directory. Let us know how it goes.
JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/post/post.php
The fix will only affect newly generated email notifications. Remember to also backup the original file as a precaution.

Your script fixed the problem with the EasyBlog new blog post notification emails but not the feed burner (RSS) one... I'm attaching a screenshot of what's happening with those. It's putting 2 of the same image instead of just one and I don't know where this is controlled! Thanks again so much for your help!

Hello Jacki,

I have applied a temporary fix in the file /administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/formatter/feeds.php by commenting out line 78 - 85. However, this is just a temporary fix as we are still working on a proper patch for the next release.
