Title: eBlog does not post a new (artilce) entry. [SOLVED]
Post by: ROUBOS on June 28, 2012, 17:08:14

Hi,
I'm using eBlog, and when I login normally on the front end, I go to my blog, and click on new article, I type everything up, and it then it does not psot the article. I click on the button and nothing happens...

any thoughts?

Hello Roubos,

I assume that you clicked on the publish in the eblog component for each eblog, as well as on the new eblog item that is being published.

By the way, a eblog menu must be created for every eblog user.

an eblog menu? how?

I have created eBlogs for two users and they are both published. They login from the front end, go to their eblog and the control panel for the eblog is there.
Then they create a new article, type everything in, and when they hit "SAVE" nothing happens.

If you have only one eblog, then you can add your eblog as an eblog item.

If you have more than one eblog, then you can add your eblog as a menu component to display them like a category and separately as an eblog item for each eblog under the category.

I have two users who have a blog, and will add more later. The problem is that the users, log in and try to add an article to their blog with no luck. The button does nothing.

Blog owner names in the select box must match user Username from the User Manager.


In the Blog owner, we assign the name of the user that will be the author or blogger. Before you can assign a user, the admin must have created the user and set their access rights through the Elxis User Manager.

Please also see this regarding the eblogs.  http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/documentation/4.html (http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/documentation/4.html)

I have created the users. One is just registered and the other a super admin.
The thing is that when creating a blog, the drop down menu for blog owner displays names... not actual user names and I cannot type them in either.
So how do I do it?

I mean if the owner was wrong, why can they enter the blog control panel and edit settings without a problem but cannot post?

Then name is associated with the username and in the blog list it shows the proper username in brackets. see the attached image

The user manager does not show any registered user as Stelios.  In this case I would delete this eblog user, create a new registered user with his name and then create the eblog for that user.

If the eblog users were created before creating registered users, this might be the problem.

don't think that this is the issue.
I've tried creating a new user for a test with no luck.
All users where created prior the eblog creation

I have sent a message to datahell and I am sure that when he finds a moment of time that he will have a look at the problem.
There is another user who is having a similar problem.  Have some patience.

If the button does not work (does nothing as you said) then you are facing a javascript conflict or something (eg. norton internet security, a browser plugin, etc) in your computer blocks the editor's button, it is not an elxis issue. Have you tried with a different browser?
From firefox tool-bar select tools ->web developer -> error console . From there you can see the error console for related error messages.

I have attached the error message from firefox

Code: [Select]

tinyMCE.triggerSave(); form.submit();

YES IT WORKS  ;D :D ;)

Thank you so much.

what was the problem?

Title: Re: eBlog does not post a new (artilce) entry.
Post by: webgift on July 01, 2012, 11:23:29

You are welcome, Roubos.
Please keep the Elxis Standards when you create a template. You hadn't imported this piece of code inside of head tags:
File : /templates/your_template/index.php
Code :
if ($my->id) { initEditor(); }

For the future:
Please don't double posts with the same issue. We watch all of submitted posts on Elxis Forum. When we are available we are ready to give any answer or solution.

Title: Re: eBlog does not post a new (artilce) entry.
Post by: ROUBOS on July 01, 2012, 11:35:00

thanks again. I will keep in mind the elxis tags. I copy paste from previous templates I have made and never had this happen to me so never noticed it. It's the first time I used the eblog.

Sorry about the double post. Just did a search and replied on another post with a similar issue.


Thank you very much for the help. I really appreciate it.
The support and the elxis forum community is important, and plays a huge role for people to keep usising Elxis as their CMS preference. I know it is for me.

thanks again. you made me very happy  :)
