Hello,

So, I'm testing EB5 to check how i'll explain to my bloggers how it works, what changed, etc... And did this for a while. I'm now trying to migrate from EB 3.9 to EB 5.0.25. I used the launcher, and the update went well (Except a "Stor fail").

After updating, I removed ARRA Articles, a module I was using until now to display articles on my frontpage, and changed it for the new latest module blog post. So, after those first step, I got some problems :

1) Links are like : http://allreported.fr/component/easyblog/aliase?Itemid=101. Even with the SEO option "Simple" (http://yoursite.com/menu/title), they're like this, though the original link (With the right SEO) is working.
2) Articles are like there isn't any css on them, nor UTF-8 (Pic : http://i.imgur.com/4wDC9EZ.png). Probably because of the error I have on the bottom of the page :
Warning: require_once(/home/redtrack/public_html/allreported/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/gettable/gettable.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/redtrack/public_html/allreported/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/easyblog.php on line 497
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/redtrack/public_html/allreported/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/gettable/gettable.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/redtrack/public_html/allreported/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/easyblog.php on line 497
3) The module isn't responsive. Here is the result if I make my window smaller : http://i.imgur.com/VLc452I.png. Is there any option to make it responsive? It doesn't look like there is one on the module configuration

To add some context :
- I'm running on Joomla 3.4.4
- I used the launcher to run the update, since the script on EB 3.9 dashboard wasn't working
- I did the update, activated the latest blog module, then didn't change anything (Except its options)
- This website is a duplicate of my prod website (So it's a test website, where I try to reproduce what will happen on the prod website, to make sure it will not crash)

Thank you for your help
Hi Philidia,

I'm so sorry that I missed to update the responsive styling for this module in our current version.

Its advisable to put your fixed styling code in your own Joomla template custom.css to avoid any file/styling override during updates.

Fixed styling code is as below and I already pushed this update to our development repo.
@media (max-width:768px) {

     div#fd.eb .mod-items-grid>.mod-grid {

             width: 100% !important;

    }

}


Thank you for pointing this out, have a great day.

Hi Philidia,

Please find my answers from your inquiries below.

1) Links are like : http://allreported.fr/component/easyblog/aliase?Itemid=101. Even with the SEO option "Simple" (http://yoursite.com/menu/title), they're like this, though the original link (With the right SEO) is working.

I've applied the fix on your site by changing your seo routing behavior to use "default" from your backend > easyblog > settings > seo > advanced settings.

2) Articles are like there isn't any css on them, nor UTF-8 (Pic : http://i.imgur.com/4wDC9EZ.png). Probably because of the error I have on the bottom of the page :

I've applied the fix by renaming your /components/com_easyblog/helpers/helper.php file and it should be working fine now.

3) The module isn't responsive. Here is the result if I make my window smaller : http://i.imgur.com/VLc452I.png. Is there any option to make it responsive? It doesn't look like there is one on the module configuration

This is actually a correct behavior when you are using horizontal layout for the module and the module is already responsive this way. However I will get in touch with our designer so that when the viewing in mobile view the column will automatically reduced in number.

Hope these help.

Thanks a lot

About 1) & 2), since it's a duplicate of my current website, It's - for me - likely going to be the same issue on the prod website. While the fix for 1) looks pretty easy to apply, could you explain to me what did you exactly did for 2) ? Just in case it happens again, I'd like to not let my website down for too long, especially since I'm going to make the update on a week end (So It mays be longer to get an answer and a fix if it happens again).

For 3), thanks. I was pretty sure this module was already responsive in the past. Maybe I'm confusing it with the nickel theme on the component view...
Edit : Ha, my bad, I already posted about it here : http://stackideas.com/forums/responsive-mode-on-latest-blog-module. It can be fixed with editing CSS

Hi there,

Regarding on issue #2, helper.php is an old file from easyblog 3.9 and act as main file for easyblog system previously. Now the file is already relocated to /administrator/com_easyblog/includes/easyblog.php hence there will some incompatibility issue where some of your existing component or module are still calling this file.. what I did is I renaming helper.php file inside your /components/com_easyblog/helpers/helper.php to helper.php_bak and everything is working correctly.

Thanks for the clarification. So basically, as long as I don't have any component/module outdated that doesn't handle EB5, it shouldn't be a problem after the update?

For 3), can I ask you a favor? I changed the css code to apply the fix listed here (http://stackideas.com/forums/responsive-mode-on-latest-blog-module), but it looks like it doesn't work anymore. It also looks like it worked on a previous version of EB5. Should I try to find which one it was? I checked on a mobile device, and it's not very cool to read :x
