Hi support,

I have just upgraded my easyblog installation on my website. I have some issues:

On my homepage i am using the 'Latest Blog' module. When i opened an article in 3.9 the content was perfectly displayed. After the upgrade to 5.0 it opens the article but with the Latest Blogs on top. This happens because the Latest Blog module is assigned to menu Home. But in 3.9 a link was outside 'Home' so the Latest Blog module was not effective;


The Facebook like and share buttons are now at the end of the article (see picture). This is probably done because a user is more willing to click like when it has done reading. But in my Easyblog frontpage the buttons are also on the bottom. In 3.9 the where aligned left besides a post photo (see picture). How can i fix the page so the Facebook buttons are again left from the picture?


My page is http://www.losibigscale.com. Maybe you want to take a look. Can you help me?
Hey Ralf,

Sure, we can help you configure this and this probably just requires a creation of a menu on the site. Currently it seems like you did not create any menu items to link to EasyBlog. Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue?

As for the Facebook buttons, I honestly wouldn't reckon that you place those buttons on the left but if you really need this, I could customize this quickly by modifying the theme files for you but really, you should either place it at the top or the bottom. It makes more sense

Hi Mark,

Many thanks for your reply! I have created a FTP and site login for you.

The Facebook buttons on the frontpage (http://www.losibigscale.com/easyblog) can aligned left besides the picture. Just as it was in 3.9. Reason for this is that an article needs so many space on the website. The buttons on the bottom when an article is opened are fine for now. I will wait for any change and see how the visitors are responding when te buttons are on the bottom.

Do you have all information now to solve these issues?

Ralf

Hi Ralf,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

Regarding on the your latest blog module does not pointing to the correct blog url, I have fixed this for you by changing your SEO settings to use "default" from your backend > easyblog > settings > SEO > advanced settings. The settings is no longer appear after I have save it as easyblog version 5 will always use "default" behavior for seo benefit.

Regarding on your fb like positioning request, I have applied some css hack inside your /templates/system/css/system.css as follow:
div#fd.eb .eb-post-body {

    padding-left: 57px;

}



div#fd.eb .eb-post-content .eb-share {

    margin-top: -245px;

    position: absolute;

}


The result should look like this now, http://screencast.com/t/vZPuX1EB . Hope these help.

Thank you this is exactly what i was looking for! Still one thing. When a visitor hits the Like button the Facebook popup isn't displayed correctly. Can you fix this as well?

This looks like a conflict with your Joomla template as they are applying a max-width of 100% on all iframe. To fix this, add the block of css codes below,



.eb-share-facebook iframe {

  max-width: none !important;

}

Hey Ralf,

Can you kindly please start a new issue on our forums rather than keep reposting it here? It will be easier for us to manage your issues.

P/S: I don't see any screen shot either.
