Solution for easyblog modules - with Routing Type set to "post category" child category links do not use SEF

I had a problem when using module to list blog posts on homepage. Since i have hundreds of categories, i could not add all of them as menu items. So, i have added only few, main categories.

Problem arised when some of the blog posts are assigned to child categories. Links do not use SEF. To fix that, i have added code to look up parent category for that child category.

In module's folder, open helper.php and look for

if( $routeTypeCategory )

{

	$xid    = EasyBlogRouter::getItemIdByCategories( $post->category_id );

}

and replace it with

if( $routeTypeCategory )

{

    $xid    = EasyBlogRouter::getItemIdByCategories( $post->category_id );

    if(empty($xid))

    {

        $categories = array( $post->category_id );

        EasyBlogRouter::getCategoryParentId( $post->category_id , $categories );

        foreach($categories as $pcat)

        {

            $xid    = EasyBlogRouter::getItemIdByCategories( $pcat );

            if(!empty($xid))

            {

                break;

            }

        }

    }

}
