Hi guys - we are migrating a client from Wordpress to Joomla and using Easyblog as a critical piece of that equation...

We imported 500 plus blogs thru migrator today (from the Bonelaw.com - the domain that the new site will be in)...

Here is some issues (and questions) I hope you can help us with...

1. Blog Index is having format issue:

The blog Index page is missing any form hyperlinking, photo OR format...

http://bearhosting.com/~lawlifepassion/index.php/in-the-news

But if you click on the blog it is fine...

http://bearhosting.com/~lawlifepassion/index.php/in-the-news/charles-robert-bone-named-to-nashville-business-journal-power-100

2. I have looked at the menu options for several hours - but cannot find an option to list Blog Titles ONLY (we have 500 plus) and we just want to list titles in Index...

3. Author Bio - anyway of having this at bottom of the blog (not the top) - takes away from the news....

Thanks for all your help - Easyblog keeps getting better and better.

Cheers,

Peter

Hey Peter,

Thanks for your support again.

1. Blog Index is having format issue:

The blog Index page is missing any form hyperlinking, photo OR format...

I've checked on your site, the reason those format like missed hyperlink and image is because you did enabled content truncation setting so that it will stripped all the HTML code.

If you would like to display same format like when you click inside the blog post, you can do following step to achieve this :
1. Disable that truncation setting (you can refer on my first attached screenshot below)
2. Or add a read more tag inside the blog content (You can refer on my second attached screenshot below)

2. I have looked at the menu options for several hours - but cannot find an option to list Blog Titles ONLY (we have 500 plus) and we just want to list titles in Index...

Do you mean you only want to show blog title at this page http://bearhosting.com/~lawlifepassion/index.php/in-the-news without content?

3. Author Bio - anyway of having this at bottom of the blog (not the top) - takes away from the news....

I have a little bit lost here, do you mean this blog entry page author bio section?

Thanks Arlex - that solved the first issue (number 1) - thank you....

Yes - the 2nd question is how to run an index that only shows titles (not for an author - for all blogs)....

And the 3rd question is how do I move the intro above the blog description (below the blog)... Bone McAllester Norton....

See on this page - the Blog Description is above the blog - I would prefer it below...

Cheers,

Peter

Arlex - One other goofy question - how can you add captions to regular images - I thought you could do this with JCE Editor but I am not seeing the option...

Cheers,

Currently we do not have setting to turn off this, but you can apply this following CSS into your current template css.

JoomlaFolder/templates/YourCurrentTemplate/html/com_easyblog/styles/custom.css (these new folder and file you have to manually create it)



#eb.eb-view-latest .eb-post-body.type-standard {

    display: none !important;

}



#eb.eb-view-latest .eb-tags {

    display: none !important;

}



#eb.eb-view-latest .eb-post-rating {

    display: none !important;

}



#eb.eb-view-latest .eb-shares {

    display: none !important;

}



#eb.eb-view-latest .eb-post-foot {

    display: none !important;

}

And the 3rd question is how do I move the intro above the blog description (below the blog)... Bone McAllester Norton....

You mean this section you would like to move below the blog? you can refer on my screenshot here : http://take.ms/Xl8sO
If yes, unfortunately that was not possible to move it unless you need to modify the PHP core file.

One other goofy question - how can you add captions to regular images - I thought you could do this with JCE Editor but I am not seeing the option...

It seems like i also can't find out that image caption option from the JCE editor, perhaps you can consult with this JCE editor developer regarding this and see how it goes.
