Do you mean when the user view on the category listing page, you would like it only show 1 default category?

Please advise.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
No, we have several categories. We use EasyDiscuss mostly like a repository for documents. So its important that the user sees all categories. However when EasyDiscuss defaults to Home it displays a list of the latest posts. We don't want that but the categories view instead.
Regards,
Michel

Hey Michel,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

What my suggestion is create a menu item for "Easydiscuss - category layout", you can refer on my attached screenshot below.

So that your site user when click on this menu from your frontpage, it will direct to show categories listing page.

Hope this will help.

Sorry for not being clear!
What I'd like to do is have the home button on the toolbar go to the categories list. Is this possible?

Also, I'm having the problem that on our staging site I cannot save any settings in the admin backend. The message save successful is displayed but the setting remain as before the change.

Unfortunately that was not possible to do this.
What my previously reply was trying to suggest another ideas to achieve this. If you can provide us with your Joomla backend access, I can show you what I trying to suggest you that ideas.

It seems like that was your staging site issue, perhaps you can try open JoomlaFolder/configuration.php this file then modify this :

// try put $live_site value to empty

	public $live_site = '';



// if still not work, try put your staging site URL

	public $live_site = '';

Great! that worked. Thanks.

I also wanted to know, if there is a more detailed documentation of all the settings? Many of the settings are not explained in the online docementation and the German translation is sometimes confusing. One option would be to set the admin backend to English. Can this be done?

Currently our Easydiscuss documentation is not contain full details yet -> http://stackideas.com/docs/easydiscuss/administrators/welcome , but we will improve this after release stable Easydiscuss 4.

If you can provide me with your Joomla backend access I can show you now. If that is not your expected, you can ignore my ideas above.

Yes, you can configure from your backend > extension > language and set your English to default.
