Hi John,

Regarding your issue, are you using the latest version of EasyBlog 5.0.26? If no, then maybe you want to upgrade your EasyBlog to latest version as we fixed quite a number of reported issues in this release

If problem persist after upgraded to latest version, then can you pass me your Joomla backend admin access and your ftp account so that we can investigate your issue further?

Please advise.

Hello. I've added my site details below.

I have another issue as well. I'm on the latest version of easyblog 5, Joomla and JCE. When I tried to change the default composer in Easyblog to JCE, I couldn't. I followed the procedure in your documentation. When I returned to Posts, it was Easyblog's default composer. I wanted to split the post into an intro with a small thumbnail, and a full article with a larger image.

I've enabled Show Fields in the Composer, but it does not appear. Screenshot attached.

Hey John,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

1. When I Select "Preview Post" it always returns a Page Not Found Error.

May i know is it you preview post from backend? if that is the case, you have to make sure you have logged in your frontpage.

2. The keywords I assign to a post under "SEO" always disappear, even though I have Saved the changes.

Try enter after you insert the keyword on SEO field and see how it goes?

I have another issue as well. I'm on the latest version of easyblog 5, Joomla and JCE. When I tried to change the default composer in Easyblog to JCE, I couldn't. I followed the procedure in your documentation. When I returned to Posts, it was Easyblog's default composer. I wanted to split the post into an intro with a small thumbnail, and a full article with a larger image.

Do you mean that you would like to change your build-in Easyblog composer to use Joomla default JCE editor?
May i know which user account you logged in and this happen only when you edit with your existing post or create a new post?

I've enabled Show Fields in the Composer, but it does not appear. Screenshot attached.

May i know do you have create the new field from backend > Easyblog > custom field yet?

By the way, I've tried to access in your Joomla backend, but i hitting this :

Warning

Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet.

Please advise.

Hi Arlex,
I'm attaching a screenshot of how I log in. I log in at Siteground. I didn't set up a separate Joomla login. But when I login at Siteground I can enter Joomla admin for my site.

May i know is it you preview post from backend? if that is the case, you have to make sure you have logged in your frontpage.

Yes, I'm trying to preview from the back end. I don't understand what you mean by logging in your front page.

I'm trying your suggestions about the other issues and will get back to you.

Thanks,
John

Hello again Arlex.

Hitting enter after entering keywords fixed that issue. Thank you.

Do you mean that you would like to change your build-in Easyblog composer to use Joomla default JCE editor?

I just needed to use JCE for one post, because it would let me use two different sized images - a thumbnail for the intro text, and a larger image for the full article.

May i know which user account you logged in and this happen only when you edit with your existing post or create a new post?

The only user account I have, which is the login I specified in Site Details, accessed via a Siteground Login, not a Joomla login. I haven't created any separate user accounts in Easyblog.

It does change to JCE when I create a new post. Thanks for that. But for an existing post it defaults to Easyblog's build-in Composer.

May i know do you have create the new field from backend > Easyblog > custom field yet?

Okay, yes I've done that now, and assigned a category, and Fields appears in the right hand side of the Post panel when I select the related category. Thanks again.

Regards,
John

I am sorry that make you confusing with my previous reply, what i mean is you have to login on this page http://johnnichol.demojoomla.com/index.php/blog , after you logged in, when you click preview button from backend Easyblog composer pop up, it will actually open another new browser tab preview your post on your site frontpage, If you didn't login on your site frontend first, system will detect guest/public user trying to preview the post, but this preview only available for Superadmin and the post owner.

It does change to JCE when I create a new post. Thanks for that. But for an existing post it defaults to Easyblog's build-in Composer.

By default, if you set your default composer editor from backend > Easyblog > settings > general > composer (screenshot : http://screencast.com/t/KwhGwKf4f ), it will only affect when you create a new post.

If your existing post (using following editor) create the post, for example :
Post A - Using Build-in Easyblog composer
Post B - Using JCE editor
If you edit Post A, it will only show Build-in Easyblog composer even when you set your default composer to use JCE from the settings, is because JCE editor do not know how to render all the Easyblog build-in composer block content.

Hope this explanation help.
