Hey there,

on my backup site I am trying to make ED4 working but more problems came up. The stream entries created have a go to post link, this link works but can not be copied and pasted. Very strange...



Try to follow the link and hit reload...



Another strange behaviour is at the recent view. When you go on the category link there comes a screen that I do not understand what it is there for. Additionally it got a very bad URL which is a duplicate of another one:

When following this link here:

1:


I get to this screen afterwards:

2:


And if I follow that link, I get to the proper category with the right URL.

Can we make the link from the recent view go to the category directly without this other screen between? It has such a bad url like /forum/forums/xxx
This issue will solve in next release version.

Hi Muhammad, you did not as I said. You need to use the URL from the page you are directed too. Not the same again. Of course the first URL is working, but click on reload on your browser after you clicked the first link.


I'm bit lost what do you mean here. Can you please elaborate more on this?


I will try to. You click on the category like on the screenshot and you will see a category view with /forum/forums/ inside the URL. On this screen you see 10 threads and below the threads there is 'see all posts of this category' and this will bring you to a category view with pagination.

I want the first category link go directly to the pagination category view since the other one is totally senseless and additionally has a very bad URL due to the /forum/forums and is just a bad duplicate.

Uhm, I have no rush in completing my support request and I have total understanding of your freetime but I would suggest in case you start making tests you re-do everything as it was. Fortunately this time it was just my backup site but please take more care. Most forum links do not work any longer. I assume you still know what you did to finish this?

Regarding the above, I am truly sorry about the blank page you are seeing when you access to forum category page. There is a left over debug code and I've already remove it. Now your forums category page should show correctly.

Regarding the above, there is an issue with the EasyDiscuss reply stream where the link has a 'unclose' tag which causing the link to be broken. I've added a fix on your dev site and below is the file I've fixed.

JOOMLA/media/com_easysocial/apps/user/discuss/themes/default/streams/reply.content.php

For anyone that having the same issue, please download the attached reply.content.php and copy the file into folder 'JOOMLA/media/com_easysocial/apps/user/discuss/themes/default/streams' and overwrite the existing 'reply.content.php'.

The same fix will be added into next release of EasyDiscuss.


Another strange behaviour is at the recent view. When you go on the category link there comes a screen that I do not understand what it is there for. Additionally it got a very bad URL which is a duplicate of another one:


Regarding the above, this is actually the default behaviour. In EasyDiscuss 4.0, we've introduced new page called 'Forum category' page where this page will display the categories and its posts in 'forum' style. When you click on a category in 'recent' page, it actually bring you to this forum category page and in order to view all the posts for a particular category, you will need to click on the 'view all posts from this category'.

Hope this help and have a nice day.

Thank you for the solution to the first problem, Sam.

But the second one sounds horrible for me. Two screens, exact same content, different url.

This is what I get after the first click, look at the url and the content:



When going for show all posts, this screen follows, compare url and content please:




The second one looks proper and clean, has pagination. the first screen seems senseless, bad url and same content and user unfriendly, since the user has to go on to another nearly same looking screen to have the pagination.
