How is it possible to have two separate easyblog instances on the same site?
Hello Jean,

It's not possible unfortunately because Joomla doesn't allow duplicated extension name. By the way, why do you want to have a "second instance" eh?

hello Mark, Thank you for your answer.
I need two blogs for different populations:
- the first is public for news and events
- the second private for members
Not the same users, not the same subjects, not equal rights, not the same Template.

Hey Jean,

May i know what do you mean "Not the same users"?

Can you check my following explanation and see is it I get correctly your meaning?

For example : you have setup 2 different user group like e.g. public user group and member user group
1. Public blog
>> This public blog only can publish the blog post from the site admin or site blogger.
>> All the blog post can accessible by public user.

2. Private blog
>> This allow member of the site can publish the blog post
>> But these blog post only accessible by member

>> everybody can read
>> This section contain News, Studies...

2. Private Blog
>> Only Admin and Special Users can write and publish
>> Only members can read and comment
>> This section contain Job description and news for project

Thanks for getting back to us, I would suggest to use categories to separate this with your public/private blog.

For example :
1. Create following 2 category from backend.
- Cat-public-news
- Cat-public-Studies
Then set the user permission from the category section which user group you would like to give the permission view/create. (screenshot : http://take.ms/NTxta )
And the global user ACL part as well (screenshot : http://take.ms/MFTJv || http://take.ms/rz42N)

2. Create another new category for private category
- Cat-private-blog
And do the same thing like what i described at above.

Hope this will help.

hi
I did what you wrote
After I created two entry in the menu:
1)1 page named "Blog" : a welcome page Including public and excluding private categories
2)1 page named "Post" : a welcome page Including private and excluding public categories

It's fine, on every page I see what I wanted to see.
But if I click on a link from the post page the result appears in the Blog page ...
Best regards
Jeff

Oh i think i know what is the issue now.

May i know your current menu type is it using "Easyblog - frontpage layout"?

If yes, I would suggest you switch to use "Easyblog - single category" menu item.

So the menu structure will be like :

1)
page 1 named "Blog - news" - assign to news category
page 2 named "Blog - studies" - assign to studies category

2) page 1 named "Post - private " - assign to private category

Once you created this, it will not go to the Blog page anymore is because each blog post URL will append the single category menu alias.
