If I created a new link with the Joomla Weblink component a new activity within the stream is created - but without any connection to this link.....

e.g. I created a new web link for http://www.jokko.de and the article in the screenshot is shown. Do you have any idea? Another user created a new Easyblog entry and there was also a totally different article from Joomla shown - maybe there is a bug????
There are two methods to controlling articles for ES. One is the app which is purely for display on the profile, the other is the plugin which controls if it displays in the stream and such. The plugin's name is "Content - EasySocial". The article app should be accessed via yoursite/administrator/index.php?option=com_easysocial&view=apps&layout=form&id=57

Hello Horst,

The contents in the stream are truncated and before we truncate it, we need to remove all html tags to avoid unclosed html tags .

Hi,

Imagine a line of code:

<a href="link">This is a link</a>


If we were to truncate this without stripping out the tags first, for example, we truncate at 20 characters, and we will get:

<a href="link">This 


In which this results in an unclosed a tag.

Hence in our codes, we first perform a strip tag function first to remove all the html tags before performing truncation.

Hi,

Maybe there is a missunderstanding or a lack of knowledge on my side. I try to explain a little bit more in detail. At the moment I have the issue in my activity stream that there are news about new written articles of users but they did not write them because they even do not have the rights to do that......this happens also if I am posting a new link via Joomla Weblinks then there is a new activity stream about a new written article shown. This article doesn't have anything to do with my link - it is about an article of my page which is even not published.....

Hope this explains what I mean....

Is there a possibility to stop the article news in the activity stream as a first workaround?

Thanks for your support and feedback!

Hi,

Do you have the EasySocial Content Plugin enabled? If so configure it to not create stream in that plugin options.

Hi Jason,

thanks for your feedback. Yes I installed it, but (sorry for that) I cannot find it to configure it....could you please tell me where to change the settings? Did you understand my issue? Is it an "known bug"?

Many thanks for your support,

Horst

Hi,

Sorry for the misdirection. The configuration should be in backend -> EasySocial -> Applications -> Article instead.

Do I have to disable the article app or is there something to configure?
