Hi,

Have just bought your product - installed on local host and have some questions/issues:

1. Even I have downloaded and installed Danish language there is no translations in the danish language files. Could it be because of this issue or what could be wrong?

2. Is it possible to limit the possible post types when I use the quick post option?
Currently the user can create text, photo, video, quotes and link. I would like only to give them photo and video.

3. Is it possible to limit access to a post in this way - everybody should have access to a post and a short description on the front page. But they have to login in order to read the rest of the post?

Thanks,

Claus Lücking

Hi there Claus!

1) To change languages, you have to install the language for both EasyBlog and the Joomla website. Have you installed the Danish language for the Joomla website?

Another thing to note is that the Danish translation for EasyBlog component isn't complete so some words will not be translated. As of now, the translation is only at 29%

2) Currently, there's no settings configuration for the quick post from the back-end. You can however, tweak it from its code.

You can either copy the attached file to this location:

JoomlaFolder\components\com_easyblog\themes\wireframe\dashboard\quickpost\default.php:

Or you can do it yourself. To do so, go to the file above and place and find the quick post code. It should look like this:

<div class="eb-quick-post" data-eb-quickpost>
<div class="alert hide" data-quickpost-alert></div>

<ul class="eb-quick-tabs reset-list">
<li <?php echo $active=='standard' ? ' class="active"' : ''; ?>>
<a href="#standard" data-bp-toggle="tab">
<i class="fa fa-pencil"></i> <?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYBLOG_DASHBOARD_TOOLBAR_QUICK_POST_STANDARD'); ?>
</a>
</li>


From there, find the code segment that you want to remove and paste this code into the <li> line. The code is style="display:none"

The code should look like this:

<li style="display:none" <?php echo $active=='standard' ? ' class="active"' : ''; ?>>
<a href="#standard" data-bp-toggle="tab">
<i class="fa fa-pencil"></i> <?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYBLOG_DASHBOARD_TOOLBAR_QUICK_POST_STANDARD'); ?>
</a>


In case that you want to revert back the changes made, simply remove the style="display:none"

3) I'm sorry, that's not possible right now . The closest you can do is to set password for the post.

I hope what I posted helps!

Oh yes, one more thing. Take note that the changes made to the quick post will affect everyone and not just select users.

Thanks for the quick answers. I will try the code change.

Yes, the Danish language is also installed in core Joomla.
I have looked into the danish easyblog language files and I did only find 40 lines of translated sentences i 2 files.
That is definitely not 29%...

Best regards,

Claus.

Hi Claus,

I hope the code change is working for you. And yes, our EasyBlog does have some problems with the Transifex server that holds the language files. It doesn't seem to update properly. No worries, we will have our developers take a look at this .

Hi Syazwan,

The code change is working - thanks.
Two additional questions to that part - the hidden options are still in the quickpost menu - however they do not give you hidden options when you click them. Would it be possible to remove them also from the menu?

And would it be possible to do these code changes as a template override so you do not touch the original files?

Thanks again.

Claus.

Hi Claus,

Regarding your question :
3. Is it possible to limit access to a post in this way - everybody should have access to a post and a short description on the front page. But they have to login in order to read the rest of the post?


This is actually possible. Sorry, I've overlooked this setting. It is actually here Login to read post

Would it be possible to remove them also from the menu?


Yes, you can remove the code if you don't want to simply hide them, but I suggest making a backup of the file first before you do so.

And would it be possible to do these code changes as a template override so you do not touch the original files?


Yes, it is possible. You can read about it here EasyBlog Template Override

Anything new according to the Danish translation?
It still looks like there is a problem by installing the language. Language is installed but definitely not 29% of the words are translated.

Hi Claus,

Sorry for the delay of this reply. Unfortunately, we still haven't had much progress with our translations . We are currently in trying to find a better alternative for it.

Okay, thanks. Actually I found some translations in other files so I don't think there is an error. It's just not the parts of the product I want to use which are translated...

Hey Claus,

My colleague which is responsible for dealing with Transifex translators is on vacation currently. As soon as she get's back, I will get her to get in touch with the Danish translators.
