Hello,

In mod_latestblogs, a blog entry is not shown if the ACL of the visitor is lower than the ACL on the post. However, wold it be possible for you to direct to remove the check for the ACL level of the visitor? I would like the item title to appear in the module regardless of the users permissions but if the user clicks on the title, they are prompted to login. We obviously want to do this to improve SEO and registration on the site.

Hello Jordan,

Can you try use this setting: Backend > EasyBlog > Settings > Workflow > General > Require login to read full blog post = Yes. Then, change the settings for blog permission to viewable by all user. Please give this a try and see if this resolves your issue. If this does not resolve your issue, perhaps you can provide us with backend access and FTP access so that we can assist you much further.

Please advise.
Thanks.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, that won't work. If a blog category is set to an ACL higher than registered, than even with the required login from the setting you suggested, the blog entry title will be hidden from public/guest in the blog front page and the mod_latest blogs.

We would like to show the title in mod_latest blogs as well as introtext in the blog front page regardless of ACL of the visitor being too low and to prompt a login where appropriate. This is the same behavior as Joomla articles with the option to show restricted links set to 'yes'.

Site details added. If there are file changes made could you kindly list them in the ticket?

Hello Jordan,

I am sorry for the late reply.
This cannot be done in the current system. This is because mod_latestblogs uses the same code as EasyBlog frontpage and if I do customize to exclude ACL's categories, the login user still unable to view the content because of his user group is lower than categories permissions. If you wish to try, here I have attached to you 2 files, please download it and put it in your site:
...\components\com_easyblog\models\blog.php
...\modules\mod_latestblogs\helper.php

Please do backup the original files and these customized files so that you can revert back to the original.
Hope this will work.
Thanks.
