Hello David,

Nickel theme was developed for multiple columns layout. But if you want to have only 1 column, you might want to edit this file, ../components/com_easyblog/views/latest/tmpl/default.xml . Just add one more option here: http://take.ms/uITxd

I created an override at /templates/<my_template>/html/com_easyblog/latest/default.xml but it's not taking. Any idea on how to override?

Hello David,

Template Override is only working on files from this folder: ../components/com_easyblog/themes/.

Is that just for XMLs? All my other overrides reside within my template.

Hello David,

Template override will not work on this default.xml file because it is not a template file. It is a file that generate setting in backend.

The settings are exactly what I want to override.

Hi David,

Thank you for the suggestion. Currently it is not possible to override any xml file for settings in easyblog as the settings workflow are custom made to suits the settings from global layout, categories and menu item.

Perhaps what we can do is to add an optional settings to show only 1 column for nickel theme in the future release of easyblog.

I mean, it's an easy tweak. I'd just hate to have it overridden by an update. *laughs*

Hi David,

Thanks for sharing.
