Is there a filter in the Latest Blogger Module that bypasses bloggers who have never logged into the site? If so, is there a way to turn this off? If this is not the case, is there some other filter that I am missing?

Thanks in advance. i always appreciate your help.
Hello fred appleton,

Sorry for late reply to this,
Yes, you can set "Exclude Blogger with zero post" to YES from your latest blogger module configuration setting.
Which means that when the new blogger didn't publish a blog post before, it will not appear in your latest blogger module. Hope this help.

I had this set to "yes". There is something else filtering the list of bloggers. Please see ticket 164761 for site credentials.

Hello Fred,

I have checked your site and the option "Exclude Blogger with zero post" is actually set to "No". I have set this to "Yes" and it only lists down authors with at least 1 blog post created on the site.

By the way, I also noticed that you configured "Show only featured bloggers" and while this option is enabled, it will overrule the settings "Exclude blogger with zero post".

I have set the selection criteria in the latest Blogger Module back to the way I had it. It seems to me that this should give me the results that I am looking for.

There are about 100 featured bloggers yet only about 20 are showing in the module.

I want to see all featured bloggers whether they have blogged or not.

As it turns out, if I open each blogger, make no changes, and then save and close the blogger - the blogger show up in the Latest Blogger Module. There is some logic in the module that ignores bloggers that have just been added. I have looked at the code, but I am not experienced enough to spot the problem. Please help.

The users were added using cbjuice2. I have also used AddUserFrontend and users added this way do not show either. Can you tell me how you fixed them so that I can use it later if necessary? Or was it a code change?

Hello fred appleton,

Sorry for late reply to this,
What I did is just re-save each blogger setting from your backend > EasyBlog > blogger.
I'm suspected that was mostly because you added the user from cbjuice2 to Joomla rather than user register through in Joomla, so some of the place do not get trigger, then the module will not display the featured blogger.
I have tried to register a new user in your site, then click this new registered user as featured user, once this new registered user logged in your site, then this username show in your latest blogger module.

You experienced exactly what I had been experiencing. It would be good to know what the trigger is. The SQL is fairly complex, and I did not want to disrupt it. We are good for now. Thanks for your help Arlex.
