Hi Rob,

We already inspected your site, and from our inspection, we figured out that there is a Bootstrap classname [.row] that causing this issue, see the screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/VLc44zF4iP

Can you share with us how do you get the CNET content to be posted here? We also would love to have an access to your site as we can investigate the content of the blog post and we believed that the classname [.row] can be handled through EasyBlog's Editor.

Hope this will help, please advice and let us know if you need further assistance. Thank you.

Hello Ikram,

Thank you for your reply and I have included the information you request. The CNET comes through on a RSS feed through EasyBlog. But the thing is that it is only that a couple of posts. There are a few posts that don't bring over the complete photos but there must have been a glitch.

Also could I ask about the CRON. Are you familiar with setting up a cron tab on a CentOS VPS? Or do you recommend an internal Joomla extension that could run the CRON?

Thank you.

Regards,
Robert

Hi Rob,

We already checked the blog post, and by removing the classname, the display of the blog post is normal again.

We also checked the other post that came from CNET through this category: http://techlick.com/index.php/techlick/cnet/categories/3-cnet and all other blogs display looks fine. So we believed that you should update some of the blog content a little bit to make them display properly. No worries, we are here to help and guide if you have any trouble on the styling.

Regarding the CRON setting, I will get our best guy to respond on this issue in a little while.

Hope this will help, please advice. Thank you.

Hello Rob,

Are you trying to setup cron in a terminal? If that's so, you can just run the following commands

1. export EDITOR="nano"
2. crontab -e
3. Insert the codes below,

*/5 * * * * /path/to/wget -O /dev/null "http://yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cron";

Replace the domain with your site's domain and replace /path/to/wget with the absolute path. You can get the correct path by typing the command below:

which wget

You guys rock! This is the best place in the Universe I will check to see if the cron ran in the morning but thank you again! It has been a great day!

Have a great week Mark and Ikram.

Regards,
Rob

You are most welcome Rob

Hello,

I edited the cron and it appears to be running but the RSS feeds are not being posted:

[root@revehost ~]# tail -f /var/log/cron

*/30 * * * * /usr/bin/curl -O /dev/null "http://techlick.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cron";


My host mentioned that maybe if I used curl it would work. But I have tried curl and wget and still it appears to run but no feeds are posted.

Rob

Hello Rob,

Since you have access to the server, perhaps if you can provide us with the access to the shell and I'll set this up for you

Hey Mark,

I am a complete noob when it comes to shell access. I am just learning this since coming from a CPanel environment and there is a lot to learn. I am thinking that I would just create you as a user through putty. Could you give me a little time to figure this out. I appreciate your reply as always.

Regards,
Rob

Hello Rob,

It's pretty easy actually to create a new user but I actually need the root user to run the cron :P You can change the password easily later and I'll guide you through it

Hi Mark,

I use SSH to login to the server with a private key. I appreciate your help as always and I am trying to setup you as a user with root privs so you can sudo.

This is what I have listed in my crontab:

Last login: Mon Jul 7 14:28:12 2014 from 70.15.58.30.res-cmts.pbg.ptd.net
[root@revehost ~]# crontab -e
SHELL=/bin/bash
HOME=/
#CRON to run EasyBlog every 30 minutes
MAILTO="cronmatic@gmail.com"
*/30 * * * * /usr/bin/curl -O /dev/null "http://techlick.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cron";

Looks good?

Regards,
Rob

Yes, it does seem to be correct provided that curl is in the correct location.

Yes I just checked and curl is in the right position but the feeds are still not be posted even though the cron is running.

Jul 8 08:00:01 revehost CROND[2595]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/curl -O /dev/null "http://techlick.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cron"
Jul 8 08:01:01 revehost CROND[2608]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)
Jul 8 08:01:01 revehost run-parts(/etc/cron.hourly)[2608]: starting 0anacron
Jul 8 08:01:01 revehost run-parts(/etc/cron.hourly)[2617]: finished 0anacron


Could it be because my server is setup as revehost.com and my website that has easyblog installed is techlick.com?

Hello Rob,

Ah, if you are looking at setting up cronjob for feeds, you need to create another cron and the URL should be http://techlick.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cronfeed

Okay Mark I will give it a try - thank you!

You are most welcome
