I was testing the Group module positions to find them, and decied to check the dashboard module positions with my test HTML module and I found an issue with es-dashboard-between-streams

Screencast: http://screencast.com/t/7uiuSbjAmJ

es-dashboard-between-streams - There appears to be an issue where the test module shows up once between the first and second stream item, then it is repeated 2, 3 times, 4 times between the next few stream items.

es-dashboard-after-story - my test module appears to work fine
es-dashboard-before-story - my test module appears to work fine
es-dashboard-after-contents - my test module appears to work fine
es-dashboard-before-contents - my test module appears to work fine
es-dashboard-sidebar-after-newsfeeds - my test module appears to work fine
es-dashboard-sidebar-bottom - my test module appears to work fine
es-dashboard-sidebar-top - my test module appears to work fine

I will be testing all other EasySocial module positions tomorrow as maybe they all haven't been verified as tested and working properly. I will report my findings here.

Thanks Randall. Found the problem and fixed internally

Hello Randall,

This is actually the default behavior of the position es-dashboard-between-streams . The module position allows you to embed ad's for instance in between stream items.

Yes, the module should show and does show between streams, but to clarify, I should have been more specific as to the issue I was seeing. If the module has the Title set to show, the module Title is repeated, each time it is shown in between streams.



1. If the module is set to es-dashboard-between-streams and the Module Title is set to not shown or Hide, then it works fine. The module shows between streams properly.

2. If the module is set to es-dashboard-between-streams and the Module Title is set to shown or Show, then it shows the title once, then twice, then three times between streams - the contents of the module is shown properly.

It appears to be an instance of having the Title set to Show that causes the issue. In most cases, the Admin will have the title to Hide, but someone will have it to Show sooner or later.

I learned a long time ago that ever possibility of how a user might use the software should be tested. Just a habit when I test.

Mark,

In a further test, this issue with the Title showing up once, twice, three times and four times only appears to happen with the HTML module and not other modules. I did a test with the Leaderboard module and EasyBlog modules, and EasySocial search module with the Title shown and they all work as expected. Since many admins will want to use the HTML module for displaying ad code this should be fixed.

Sounds goid Mark,

There is this thing in Canada that we all do each night, it's called SLEEP. Do people from your country Sleep or is it just you Super Human types that EAT and BREATHE software development? Ha ha. Get some zzzzzzzxxxxs Mark.

ES 1.2.3 is very solid. Just a few minor issues, but it is looking REAL GOOD.

I'm hoping to get my community online first week in April.
