Hi I have installed easyblog and created a few post , I inserted the read more button before some text but when selected the blog displays a empty blog on a new page.

I tried inserting this line of code :

<a href="/<?php echo EasyBlogRouter::_('index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id='.$row->id); ?>" title="<?php echo $this->escape( $row->title );?>" itemprop="url">Read More</a>


in the "JoomlaFolder/templates/gk_game/html/com_easyblog/blog.item.php" file but no luck.

Any help or tips will be much appreciated.
Hello Ada,

This issue is actually not related to the script or anything at all. It has something to do with your customization that you added in /templates/shape5_vertex/css/template.css at line 690, http://screencast.com/t/teGFiekFVt8b

This is hiding the contents in the blog post. You need to remove this code

Hello Ada,

That code does seem to be correct and it should link to the blog entry view. Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue?

Hello Ada,

Can you remove the "/" at the front?

<a href="<?php echo EasyBlogRouter::_('index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id='.$row->id); ?>" title="<?php echo $this->escape( $row->title );?>" itemprop="url">Read More</a>


Hope this will help.
Thanks.

Hi,

I should rephrase this.

The problem isn't with inserting a read more button - I've removed that extra code now.

The issue is that the articles show on the front page of the blog - but when I want to view the full article, it goes to the page for the article/blog entry and shows the title, social links and everything else except the content of the article/blog entry.

So I am unable to view the full article/blog entry. I can see everything before the "Continue reading" text, but I cannot view the rest of the article. Even if I don't add a read more link in the article, I can see the whole article on the front page of the blog where it lists all 3 articles I've created, but when I click on any of the articles' titles, it opens up on a new page and shows everything except the body text of the article.

Same happens if you try to open a blog entry from the Archive or Latest Blog links.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your help. I didn't set up the blog myself and have no idea why the guy who did would've added that code in the CSS, but I've removed it now and everything's working perfect.
