Hi Nick,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

Currently you cannot turn off rss for individual item. To disable rss in EasyBlog, you can either disable the rss from EasyBlog under settings -> general -> rss feed and turn off ‘Enable RSS feeds’ option. Please see http://screencast.com/t/WcpVW2RQjbyl Or, you can disallow your users from certain Joomla group to subscribe to rss link. Go to EasyBlog backend under ACL -> [joomla group] -> subscriptions and disable ‘subscribe to the blog via rss’ option. Please see: http://screencast.com/t/FM8xgtRk6H0t

Regarding the above, it was caused by your content plugin ‘Content - SEOGlossary’ and most likely this content plugin did not perform a check on feed document before calling ‘addCustomTag’ which belong to ‘JDocumentHTML’. I’ve temporary disabled this content plugin and you might need to clear the cache from your feed burner. Also, you might want to contact the original developer of seoglossary regarding this matter.

To hide the ‘post type’ icon, go to your EasyBlog backend under Settings -> Layout -> post option and select ‘hide’ on the setting ‘Show Post Type Icon’.

To add blog image in EasyBlog 5, you will need to add ‘cover photo’. To add cover photo, click on the ‘Add Cover’ button on top of the composer. Please see http://screencast.com/t/1kPG9VaDx0j

Regarding the above, most likely there is an error thrown in the ajax request during post save.

Regarding the above, look like the EasyBlog builtin comment integration was disabled during the upgrade. I;ve re-enabled the comment integration and now the comments and the comment form is displayed correctly.

Please advise.

Hope this help and have a nice day!

Hi Sam,

thanks for you answers.

=> if I enable rss feeds completely I take it that my http://feeds.feedburner.com/userability won't work either so I tried to use your second option and disallowed all user groups "Subscribe To The Blog Via Rss" option. But still I see the "subscribe" links in the category module at the right

Regarding the above, it was caused by your content plugin ‘Content - SEOGlossary’ and most likely this content plugin did not perform a check on feed document before calling ‘addCustomTag’ which belong to ‘JDocumentHTML’. I’ve temporary disabled this content plugin and you might need to clear the cache from your feed burner. Also, you might want to contact the original developer of seoglossary regarding this matter.

=> how have you enabled it? cause I still see all my glossar entries on http://www.userability.de/glossar and my rss feed is now working again (so everything seems back to normal but I am not sure why ^^).

To hide the ‘post type’ icon, go to your EasyBlog backend under Settings -> Layout -> post option and select ‘hide’ on the setting ‘Show Post Type Icon’.

=> actually I did that but it is still appearing in the frontend

To add blog image in EasyBlog 5, you will need to add ‘cover photo’. To add cover photo, click on the ‘Add Cover’ button on top of the composer. Please see http://screencast.com/t/1kPG9VaDx0j

=> was afraid that you would say that I did that for one article http://www.userability.de/entry/mobile-usability/mobile-payment-auf-dem-vormarsch and it is working but now this image is also shown on homepage as well as on the blog post (can you tell me where I would find the templates to remove that?)

Thanks again for the support!! Best Nick

Look like your EasyBlog categories module configured to display the rss link. Please see http://screencast.com/t/E9xVQjlW I’ve disabled the ‘show rss’ option and now the rss subscription link no longer display on your module. Please see http://screencast.com/t/4lmWaVEQ

>> how have you enabled it? cause I still see all my glossar entries on http://www.userability.de/glossar and my rss feed is now working again

Em, I did not re-enabled your content plugin ‘SEOGlossary’. Anyway glad to hear your this issue now resolved

>> actually I did that but it is still appearing in the frontend

Regarding the above, I am sorry for the confusion. For the post type in EasyBlog frontpage, you will need to disable the option from your EasyBlog menu item. Please see http://screencast.com/t/hnhiu9AC8 I’ve disabled for you and now the post type no longer displayed on your frontpage


>> was afraid that you would say that I did that for one article http://www.userability.de/entry/mobile-usability/mobile-payment-auf-dem-vormarsch
>> and it is working but now this image is also shown on homepage as well as on the blog post (can you tell me where I would find the templates to remove that?)

To hide the cover photo from display in blog listing page, you can turn off the cover photo from your EasyBlog menu item (frontpage layout). Please see
http://screencast.com/t/eszl0MBfJBJ I’ve disabled for you and now the cover photo no longer display

>> 5. JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 2 of the JSON data

Regarding the above, whenever i go to composer page, i hit this invalid event handler error. Please see http://screencast.com/t/nPPYRc8DDWoy I not sure if this issue related to your Joomla template the JA Decor or not but if I change your Joomla template to ‘ProtoStar’, i do not hit any error. May i know if there are any modules that are associated with this JA Decor template? If yes, can you try to disable these module and see if you still hitting the invalid event handler issue or not.

Please advise.

Hi Sam,

thanks you are awesome!! And thanks for the explanation. Hadn't known that I can configurate more on each site.

I will have a look into the ja-decor issue...right now it doesnt do any harm so I might just ignore it .

Thanks for your help! Best Nick
