Hi,

it seems that settings have changed.
See attachment form an older version. These buttons are no longer there.

So, for now, as I don't want to have these problems I have restored a previous version.
Regards, Peter

So, to do some testing I have cloned the website, and on the cloned site, I have updated the easy blog component.

Please see the differences:
Original site
Cloned site
Original article
Cloned article
(The logins for the orignal website will also work for the cloned website.)
please help me, this is not looking good.

Regards, Peter

Hi Peter,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

Regarding your issue, I've added a fix on your test site and now the image is showing correctly. Please verify again.
Below are the files I've modified on your test site.

JOOMLA/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/post/post.php
JOOMLA/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/string/string.php
JOOMLA/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/entry/post.cover.php
JOOMLA/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/latest/post.cover.php

The same fix will be added into next release of EasyBlog as well and we are currently working hard to push out the release as soon as possible

Hope this help and have a nice day

Hi Sam,

thanks for your reply. Although I still see differences. Why?

As it should be
As it is now

See also the size of the calendar on the rightside. It is too big!

What happend with the icons in the toolbar? Can I am have them back in the toolbar and not below as plain text?

And how can I disable the social buttons ont he homepage, just below the preview of the article?

Maybe it is possbile to change the settings to get the original layout back, but I can't find how to do this.

I don't like the upgrade till now and hope you are able to solve these issues!

Regards, Peter

Hi Peter,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

thanks for your reply. Although I still see differences. Why?

We actually changed the behaviour in EasyBlog 5.1 so that in entry page, it will pick the first image as cover photo. However, it seems like not all users prefer this approach and hence, we are reworking on this matter again and in the next release, we will no longer pick first image as post cover in entry page.

See also the size of the calendar on the rightside. It is too big!

Regarding the above, I will pass this issue to our designer and have them to check on your site again.

What happend with the icons in the toolbar? Can I am have them back in the toolbar and not below as plain text?

Regarding the toolbar, we've updated the toolbar and to standardise the layout across all our products. If you want to display the icons instead of text, you will need to peform template override on this file JOOMLAx/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.php

And how can I disable the social buttons ont he homepage, just below the preview of the article?

To disable the social buttons on your EasyBlog frontpage, go to EasyBlog backend under settings -> views -> frontpage layout -> Posts and turn off the option 'Show Social Buttons'.

Maybe it is possbile to change the settings to get the original layout back, but I can't find how to do this.

Yes, we are bring back the old behaviour in the next release of EasyBlog

Hope this help and have a nice day

Yes, solved in version 5.1.6
Thanks a lot!

Seems it is also solved. Maybe by development?

To disable the social buttons on your EasyBlog frontpage, go to EasyBlog backend under settings -> views -> frontpage layout -> Posts and turn off the option 'Show Social Buttons'.

Can't find these settings (please see attachments blog-8.jpg and blog-9.jpg). It seems there are buttons missing?
Also, in the article view (see attachment blog-10.jpg) I want this disabled.
In the old version there was a tab (see attachment blog-11.jpg).

Regarding the toolbar, we've updated the toolbar and to standardise the layout across all our products. If you want to display the icons instead of text, you will need to peform template override on this file JOOMLAx/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.php

Can you show me how? PHP is not my strong point.
Or can I just use the "old" default.php?

Regards, Peter

Hi Peter,

Can't find these settings (please see attachments blog-8.jpg and blog-9.jpg). It seems there are buttons missing?

You can find these setting at EasyBlog backend under Settings -> Views -> Frontpage Layout. I've disabled the social buttons for you. Please see http://take.ms/vQ2im

Also, in the article view (see attachment blog-10.jpg) I want this disabled.

Ah, look like there is still a minor bug on the cover photo placeholder in entry page. I've added a fix on your test site and now you are good to go. For anyone that encountered the same issue, please download the attached post.cover.php and copy the file
to folder JOOMLA/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/entry/ and overwrite the existing post.cover.php

The same fix will be added into next release of EasyBlog.

Regarding the above, you cant just replace the old file because we've changed quite abit of the html dom structure. To be frank with you, this is actually not under our support scope but for this time, I will help you to bring the icons back

Download the attached 'default.php' and copy this file to your EasyBlog template override folder (JOOMLA/templates/shaper_helix3/html/com_easyblog/toolbar/). Next, copy the below css code and place the css code in your Joomla template custom.css JOOMLA/templates/shaper_helix3/css/custom.css

#eb .eb-navbar__footer-link i {

	display: block !important;

}



#eb .eb-navbar__footer-link span {

	display: none !important;

}

Once done, your toolbar should look like this http://take.ms/awI16

For the EasyBlog template override, if you haven't created the folders yet, you will then need to create the folders manually.

Hope this help and have a nice day

Hi Sam,

Solved for now and in the next release. Great!

You can find these setting at EasyBlog backend under Settings -> Views -> Frontpage Layout. I've disabled the social buttons for you. Please see http://take.ms/vQ2im

OK, just at a new location. Also solved. GREAT!

One minor question. Is it possible to adjust the color of the pre-input of the search in the header (Please see attachment blog-12.jpg)

For now, I am happy again!

Regards, Peter

Hi Peter,

One minor question. Is it possible to adjust the color of the pre-input of the search in the header

Regarding the above, you try below css code and add the code into your Joomla template custom.css file. Just replace the #000 to the color code you want

#eb .eb-navbar__search-input::-moz-placeholder {

  color: #000;

}

#eb .eb-navbar__search-input:-ms-input-placeholder {

  color: #000;

}

#eb .eb-navbar__search-input::-webkit-input-placeholder {

  color: #000;

}

Hope this help and have a nice day

Works perfectly. Case closed!

Thanks for updating Peter, glad that your issues are resolved now.
