I turned this off until it works

Hey Paul,

This looks like a bug in terms of the width. Can you try adding the block of css codes below into /templates/wanderers/css/custom.css ?

div#fd.eb .eb-entry-related > div {

width: 33% !important;

}

Hi Mark

I tried as you suggested but no joy.
You can test this here:

thanks as always

Hi Paul,

I just inspected the site from both firefox and chrome and it looks the same to me. Check my screenshot here, http://screencast.com/t/8Z5ct53qyeJ . Perhaps you can try to clear up your browser cache and see how it goes?

Hi Erzul

Maybe there is an understanding going on here.

a) some of these posts are ancient.

Eg the first "Amsterdam Super Meet" is from 2011!

b) No photos seem to be showing even when they are in the Blog posts!

Eg the second "About Final Bug" is pretty much up to date and has photos.

c) I do not see how they are related to the post in question:
http://www.finalbug.net/blog/entry/407-going-mustang-without-a-data-wrangler

Am I missing something?

thanks

Paul

Hey Paul,

Earlier your site had issues with the related posts section where it isn't aligned correctly. The latest version of EasyBlog 5.0.17 fixes that. As to why the image isn't showing any image, it's because it relies on the post cover. You should set a post cover for your blog posts if you want to display a post cover.

In regards to why the posts are displayed as related, it's because you probably used similar tags in all of these posts. Relativity between posts are determined by the tags being used across your posts.

Hey Mark

Yeah I am on EB 5.0.17.
I got the image thing now as I am adding some images to posts on the first page of the Blog List view.
I never really did this before as I had my mad video pop up work flow.
I have going on 400 posts

Sticking to the e.g. above

http://www.finalbug.net/blog/entry/407-going-mustang-without-a-data-wrangler
Tags:DaVinci Resolve Data Wrangling Workflow

Shows related posts (Firsrt 3) :

http://www.finalbug.net/blog/entry/158-amsterdam-super-meet-11-09-2011
Tags: Smoke, DaVinci Resolve, Avid, Adobe, FCP X

http://www.finalbug.net/blog/entry/161-about-finalbug-net
Tags: FCP X, XML, DaVinci Resolve, Meta Data, Workflow

http://www.finalbug.net/blog/entry/201-fcp-x-bristol-event
Tags: AJA, FCP X, DaVinci Resolve

So there is a common denominator here: DaVinci Resolve

Now check this:

http://www.finalbug.net/blog/tags/6-davinci-resolve

DaVinci Resolve is tagged about 20 times between:
http://finalbug.net/blog/entry/407-going-mustang-without-a-data-wrangler
AND
http://www.finalbug.net/blog/entry/158-amsterdam-super-meet-11-09-2011

If this is the way the related posts functions works it is pretty useless for me.
Maybe I am missing some thing?
But would it not make sense if tagging went back in time?
From now too the beginning of time?

Like what was Easy Blog in 2011?
I am pretty sure that it was a very different beast to today!
People would get very confused very quickly if the starred reading a couple of EB articles ranging over a time period of for e.g. 4 years!

Do you understand what I am getting at?

Hello Paul,

I'm sorry for the late reply. The only way I can think of to relate between article is the tag itself. If you have better solution, maybe we can consider it.

Hi Nik

Let me put it this way.
I believe that Implementing this the way google does this would be the way to go.
Searching for EB any time will give me misleading results.
Searching for the last 6 months gets closer to the reality of the situation.
EB 3.x and 5.x are two entirely different things.
Mixing these things up in one box with no time line is counter productive and confusing IMHO.

Hey Paul,

I think this is probably only suitable for your need because your posts are based on a series of timeline. Most users that uses EasyBlog uses it mainly as a blog and relativity based on the tags is much more ideal. For instance, if I am blogging about a ferarri, I wouldn't want a post about a mclaren to appear on the related post.

Hey Mark

I admit it this is one of my pet topics. Maybe I am spoiled in my editor of choice where I use key words and use them to make what are called “smart collections.”

Lets say I have different video clips.

1) Some with Ferarri only
2) Some with mclaren only
3) Some with both

What I do is look at the clip and add:

a) Ferarri
AND/OR
b) mclaren

Then I set up a smart collection called

Ferarri & mclaren.

A smart collection is an algorithms that looks for (in this eg) occurrences of both keywords Ferarri & mclaren
It is constantly updated on the fly as I add new keywords…

Of course I can continue and add:

c) jaguar

Then I set up a smart collections called
Which are constantly updated on the fly as I add new keywords!

Ferarri & jaguar.
mclaren & jaguar.
Ferarri & mclaren & jaguar

etc

And now this is where it gets twisted.
mclaren made a CD player.
I kid you not!
So I have a video clip with the keywords

b) mclaren
d) CD player

There is no mclaren car only the CD player from mclaren

Then I set up a smart collection called mclaren CD player.
In this case an algorithms that looks for (in this eg) both keywords mclaren & CD player

I know this might seem off the wall but Apple have been rumoured to be making a car.
So often the lines do/can get blurred.

End of rant

But sure this is probably over kill for most people

I understand your position.

Paul
