Hello Maurice,

Please find the answers to your inquiries below:

1. How/where can I set the menu assigmenent of a module NOT to ALL blog posts, but only to some blog posts?

Unfortunately, this is not possible currently. The only way to achieve this is to setup menus for each of your blog post but that would be pretty insane though.

2. Is there a module wich shows only the posts of a certain category? So for example a list of all blog posts in category SEO and another list of all blog posts in category Usability et cetera.

Yes, the latest blogs module can be configured to only display blog posts from particular category. You may download it from http://stackideas.com/downloads/modules/easyblog

Hi Mark,

1. Please explain how I can setup menus for each blog post.
2. But this module will also show on every blog post?

3. How/where can I manually set the sequence of a list with one of the modules? Instead for example sorted by date.

4. I also tried Showcase slider module. But nothing is showed. Looks like it is not working. Please help.

5. In modules basic options I see Routing behavior. Please explain what this means.

Hello Maurice,

1. Please explain how I can setup menus for each blog post.
2. But this module will also show on every blog post?

The idea is like this. You have to create a menu item for each of your blog post in Joomla Menu Manager: http://screencast.com/t/dCTXLPK5Z . And then in your module option, you can assign it to the menu item that you have created. http://screencast.com/t/p4qqhOuu6

3. How/where can I manually set the sequence of a list with one of the modules? Instead for example sorted by date.

It depends on the module. You can find the option in the module itself. May I know which module you are referring to?

4. I also tried Showcase slider module. But nothing is showed. Looks like it is not working. Please help.

Do you have featured blog post? The module will be displayed if there is featured blogpost. And also you have to turn on this option: http://screencast.com/t/jMvtIcxGvkd in Backend>Easyblog>Settings>Layout>General.

5. In modules basic options I see Routing behavior. Please explain what this means.

The Routing behaviour will affect how the SEF URL of contents of the module. Leaving it at default means that the module will just get the URL using the default setting in your EasyBlog Settings

Hope this helps.

3. Recent module; latest module; most popular.
4. What is featured exactly? What does it do?
In related module, I set number of posts to 9, but only 7 are visible. I checked everything, bur cannot find why. Please help.

Hello Maurice Lehr,

Sorry for late reply to this,
3. Recent module; latest module; most popular.
>> Yes, first you install the module from your backend > extension manager, then go to module manager page, search out this 3 module, you can set the sorted by date from the module itself.

4. What is featured exactly? What does it do?
>> When you set the blog post to be featured, it will be displayed on the front page of the site. Mean which blog post should be important for you, or you would like to display in the showcase, so the user will be first noticed the featured blog post from your frontpage.

In related module, I set number of posts to 9, but only 7 are visible. I checked everything, bur cannot find why. Please help.
>> Is it possible provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can help you check on this issues? Please advise.

1. How/where can I remove the label? But still I want to keep the articles featered. So only remove label.
2. How/where can I remove the photo and name?
3. How/where can I make the text go a little more to the right as well?

Hello Maurice,

Sorry for late reply to this,
If you're not using the Showcase Easyblog Module, you can apply some css hack and modify the file from : JoomlaFolder\components\com_easyblog\themes\default\blog.featured.module.php (Remove the author name and avatar)
Remove 77 until 86

						<!--SHOWCASE AUTHOR-->

						<div class="featured-author">

							<?php if ( $system->config->get('layout_avatar') ) : ?>

							<a href="<?php echo $row->author->getProfileLink(); ?>" class="float-l avatar mrm"><img src="<?php echo $row->author->getAvatar(); ?>" width="35" height="35" class="avatar" /></a>

							<?php endif; ?>

							<div class="showcase-author">

								<?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYBLOG_BY'); ?> <a href="<?php echo $row->author->getProfileLink(); ?>"><?php echo $row->author->getName(); ?></a><br />

								<div class="small"><?php echo $this->formatDate( $system->config->get('layout_dateformat') , $row->created ); ?></div>

							</div>

						</div>

You can apply this CSS code in your template css file : (remove the label & the text move to right a little bit)

#ezblog-body ul.featured-entries .featured-image {

	border: 0px !important;

}



#ezblog-body ul.featured-entries .featured-image + .featured-meta {

	margin-right: 250px;

}

Hope this help.
