Update - the "Save for Later" button is working intermittently. I just re-entered an image and other paragraph, then exited the composer. When I reopened the post, they were gone.

This is very discouraging. We used the old version on an old Joomla 1.5 website and never encountered this type of problem. Please help.

Hey Debra,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply,

I try to replicate this issue but it seems work fine for me.

You can take a look of my video here : http://screencast.com/t/IDjoBu2IG

And see is it I missed something here? (I have tried to create a post > save as draft > open again and update the post)

Hi Arlex,
Thank you so much for your video. It was difficult to see parts of it because the screen shot was too large for my screen (I have a big monitor too....). But I think I see your point. I should have checked the "History" tab when I first lost all my work. I just checked but the last version of the nearly complete post isn't there. There's a big gap between the work I did in the afternoon and a history posted at 9:49MST which is missing most of my important saves.

I'll try this again and let you know.

Is there a library of videos tutorials for the system highlighting the features such as the History tab (new to me!). The system has changed SO MUCH since I was working on a 3.x system a couple years ago. I want to use the blocks because I think they will really help the appearance of the posts on mobile devices but I'm soooo tempted to run back to what I know and just use an HTML block. While I'm fairly certain I can make the post look great with an HTML block on a PC, it could look awful on a mobile device.

I'll post again after trying it this morning and let you know.

Thank you so much for your time looking into this,
Debra

I've finally gotten the post entered but I'm still having problems. (1) when I open the post, I get a very early version of the file. Fortunately, the latest version is in the history list. How do I get the system to actually save the last version of the post so that it's immediately available when I open it. (Never mind, I think I've figured that out - Update Post. I had planned to save this file as a draft but that wasn't working well either.) (2) what is the the difference between "Save for Later" and "Apply"? (3) when I open the correct, last version of the post from the history tab, if I click on "Use", I get an error - Invalid controller: name='posts', format='' What's up with that? The system bounces me entirely out of Easyblog and I'm back at the Joomla entry screen. BUT, I'm still in a composer screen (creepy).

This system is not a intuitive as I had expected and I doubt I'm the only one running into these problems. A video tutorial library would be a great help.

I can't replicate this, perhaps you can take a look of my following 2 situation and see is it you referring this:
#1. When I start create a new post, but I didn't click `Apply` and `Publish` button, just click `save for later` then close it the composer. If you want to open back this draft, you have go to draft filter tab (screenshot : http://screencast.com/t/dYAGWOhQ4orr ) then continue back.

#2. When I start create a new post and click `Apply` or `publish` the post, which mean that this post already publish in your site. If you would like to edit this post and save as draft, you can edit the post > save for later, it will generate a new revision for this level. Then you can click back that `history` tab then select back your draft for that post.

(2) what is the the difference between "Save for Later" and "Apply"?

- Save for later : If the post haven't publish yet, it will save as draft. If the post already published, this functionality will save as another revision, and this revision will not appear on your frontpage.

- Apply : When you click this apply, it will publish the post directly.

(3) when I open the correct, last version of the post from the history tab, if I click on "Use", I get an error - Invalid controller: name='posts', format='' What's up with that? The system bounces me entirely out of Easyblog and I'm back at the Joomla entry screen. BUT, I'm still in a composer screen (creepy).

It seems like that was bug, can you download my file then replace into -> JoomlaFolder\administrator\components\com_easyblog\controllers\posts.php , it should work fine.

That was good ideas, I will recommend this video tutorial to our documentation team and see if we can improve this in the future.
