Hi,
I think I had this issue before recently but can't find the post. When I display latest blog module on home page and click on the read more link or image it displays the blog on the home page beneath the modules. How do I get it to actually go to the blog page. It does it "sometimes" but not all the time. not sure why. I know about the Joomla issue with articles doing this but I haven't had this issue before with a previous install of easyblog.

Can you also tell me how to make the module wrap the text correctly around the image. see site.

Thanks
Hello Mark,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Ah, we don't actually have a documentation for this yet but basically, you want to configure the module to use specific menu item as the routing behavior.

The reason is because Joomla associates which modules appear on the page depending on which menu you are currently on. When you configure the module to use a specific routing behavior, the module would then tell Joomla that these links generated would be associated to the "menu" that you have selected.

Hello Mark,

I'm sorry, can you specify which module that has this issue? I've tried but seems like everything is fine. Please advise.

For some reason the text doesn't wrap in safari correctly.. see 2 pics. first one is firefox which displays ok but 2nd pic is safari... Also.. when I click on the links it publishes the blog on the home page vs. going to the blog component page.

Hello Mark,

Seems that you browser screen is making the changes, please make sure that your browser is not zooming in. If it does not work please check the responsive in you template.
The css below will override the style of your module and changes straight to 384px, the miss alignment happens in 480px.

@media only screen and (max-width: 1199px) and (min-width: 960px) {
#rt-content-bottom .rt-grid-6 {
width: 384px !important;
}
}


Or just truncate your your intro text to lesser characters.

Hope that helps:)

Hello Mark,

I have checked in your Easyblog Latest blog post module configuration setting , it seems like set this Use Menu Item - footer menu item _blog <- this menu item already unpublished from your menu manager, I guess you're no longer to use this menu item,
so i help you set to Use Menu Item - Main Menu _blog, also i help you set Routing Behavior - use menu item , mean the Easyblog Routing depend on this menu item ( Main menu - blog ), then it work fine now. Please have a check.

Your responses are always fast and its appreciated! Thank you for updating the settings for me.

I can't say I fully understand your answer. The routing options are a bit confusing. Is there documentation on this somewhere?

Not your fault but I would have thought that the joomla Devs would have "fixed" this by v3.. its such an archaic way of displaying content... lol very frustrating.

I am sorry but currently we don't have any documentation related to the routing behaviour. But what alex means is, the wrong menu item was selected from the module. Imagine you have two menu items that is pointing to EasyBlog. say MenuA and MenuB (disabled). Now if your EasyBlog module the routing behaviour set to MenuB, all the links generate from this module will point to that MenuB itemid. However, because that MenuB was disabled, Jooomla have no choice but to pick the default home menu item and use it as the itemid from the links inside your module.

Hope the above explained why your issue happened
