Hi,

I've been encountering this type of problems in all out portals using EasySocial.

Note: This only happens with content embedding from certain sites (not all sites and not all the time)

Description:

When scraping/embedding an blog image/text based content from an external source to a an EasySocial group, everything looks fine at first but when viewing the group posts in a Single Group Listing, the post shows it like a video post ?

You can see an example here:
http://decopatio.ca/testgroup

This is a Single Group Listing menu item

The post shows a video link (which breaks the post) cause it's not a video, it's supposed to be an image ?

The source article is here

This seems to be a bug

Please advise
Thanks
Danny
Hey Danny,

My bad, the fix should be going into JoomlaRootFolder/media/com_easysocial/apps/group/links/themes/default/streams/preview.create.php
