Hello,

I am now using the plugin to create a Joomla article. I have worked around all of the other inconsistencies created by duplicating content but cannot lick this one.

First off I create a new blog. I then stick the readmore link in. On the EasyBlog Frontpage this looks and works exactly as expected (a readmore link after the introtext and a link to the full blog). On the Joomla Article side however I get two read more links. The first points to the blog. The second points to the article.

So I have two ideas that will resolve this:


  1. Somehow fix the readmore code so it properly only opens the blog and creates a single link.
  2. Change the joomla-article plugin to truncate text based on the EasyBlog setting for readmore length. Essentially creating introtext-only Joomla articles.


Could either of these be done easily? I would prefer #1 so I can use other tools on the full content but #2 will get me so I can work-around everything.
Hi,

I have exprienced the same issue with the Article Duplication Plugin.

it creates two read moew links. one to the EB entry and one to the Joomla entry.

How can I drop the link to the EB entry?


Thanks

Hello,

Firstly, I really would not recommend anyone using the auto article plugin. Why?

1. It creates redundant items on your site and most search engines will definitely penalize your site.

2. If your sole purpose is to import it into Joomla so that you could use modules to display them, the linkage will be wrong. It will link to com_content and not com_easyblog. Hence, you are not really using it to display in EasyBlog.

The only reason that we created this plugin is for users who wants to use EasyBlog to author their item and display it in Joomla purely. In other words, EasyBlog is used as an "editor" instead.

Nevertheless, to remove the read more link, edit the file /plugins/easyblog/easyblog.php and at line 101 remove the codes below,



		$readmoreLink       = '<a href="' . $readmoreURL . '" class="readon"><span>' . JText::_( 'Read More' ) . '</span></a>';

		$data['introtext']  = $data['introtext'] . '<br />' . $readmoreLink;
