Hi people,

As i was in the phase of adapting my CSV user import component to easysocial as partner (through mark lee) i also decided to change the community system on my own website from JS (which is a pain) to Easysocial so i can test all real live and take some benefits of the partnership myself as well . And it works great :-) !

I have some issues after installing Easysocial which replaces Jomsocial (i also ran the user migrator) but i do not think these things are related here. At this point ES1.4.2 is installed and live. Website is built with multiple Profiles, amazonS3 is enabled but i have not ran the cron yet.

1. Simple urls resulting in 404
All user profile links are ending up in a 404 when simple url's are enabled, also in 1.4.2. It appears that each profile is trying to access it's permalink which was automatically created during import.

2. Override default header cover not visible during registration.
I have set the header cover override as mentioned here but it does not show during registration (see screen attach)

3. Default Profile avatar not shown during registration.
For each profile i have set a custom avatar to show during registration but it's not shown (see attach)

4. Videos were not migrated from JS
Although i had just 4... the videos were not imported into ES upon migration from Jomsocial. These videos were only linked from vimeo and youtube.

5. Jreviews integration to userprofile linkback (as author) not working.
All existing and new listings have no link back (as author) to their easysocial profiles. The link ends up to the homepage instead. I know it's jreviews related but you probably need to contact Alejandro to talk him through the changes made in this 1.4+ version.
Live check: http://www.snowinstructors.info/magazine/test-easysocial

For the rest.... 100% satisfied of what i see untill now. Amazing how you guys work out all requests and superb lightning fast support.

Access info is available in "Site details" section.

7. And also... the moment i select 1 attachment and i want to add another in this forum it auto saves.... so hereby the other 2 screenshots mentioned above

Hi Jasper,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as we are being overwhelmed with the support ever since the release of easysocial 1.4. Please find my answers from your inquiries below.

1. Simple urls resulting in 404

This is actually a known issue in easysocial 1.4.1 and we have included the fix in easysocial 1.4.2. I saw you have already using easysocial 1.4.2 and I've tested the feature on your site without any issue now. Please give it a try.

2. Override default header cover not visible during registration.

It seems like the cover is not get rendered correctly during the registration. Kindly download my attachment below and place it inside your /media/com_easysocial/apps/fields/user/cover/cover.php and see how it goes.

3. Default Profile avatar not shown during registration.

You need to click on "Select Avatar From Gallery" in order to show list of default avatar that you have added from backend. Refer my screenshot here, http://screencast.com/t/TksTtbd9sTiP

4. Videos were not migrated from JS

We will investigate this issue further and will report back to you once we have resolved the issue.

5. Jreviews integration to userprofile linkback (as author) not working.

I believe this issue should be handle by Jreviews itself as the profile link code are written by them. Perhaps you can provide them the following API to retrieve user's permalink correctly.
$userId = 25; // example of user id

$user = FD::user($userId);

$userPermalink = $user->getPermalink();


Hope these help.

Hello Ezrul,

No probs, I better see a reply with true content which may take some time. Thanks for that. I see that you are still logged in; so i quickly reply.
The simple urls 404 issue is still persisting on users which do not have saved their profile.

For example my profile works: http://www.snowinstructors.info/jasper
But the profile url of Inga is generated by the system but she never logged in yet (after migrating from jomsocial) and results in a 404: http://www.snowinstructors.info/inga-paukner-stojkov (linked from activity stream on my profile)

The rest of your issue replies i will set up later today

Hi Jasper,

You are right. It seems like the user alias is not exist in the database hence it will return error when simple url is enabled. I've added some additional checking inside your /administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/user/user.php to ignore simple url format when the user alias is not exist in the database. Try to see the url of your own profile, http://www.snowinstructors.info/jasper and also the affected profile here http://www.snowinstructors.info/community/profile/339-inga-paukner-stojkov

3. Default Profile avatar not shown during registration.

I have selected a 'default avatar' to show in the profile type; and i was expecting this one to show up instead of the one which is in your screenshot. check: http://screencast.com/t/qhxdiPnyD

2. Override default header cover not visible during registration.

confirmed working

Hey Jasper,

Setting the profile type avatar doesn't actually set it as the default avatar for users who registers under that profile type, though that seems like a great suggestion. All it does is that it will display the profile type's avatar in the profile type selection at http://www.snowinstructors.info/community/registration
