Hi

I am new to och and getting used to your ochBlog extension... 2 questions about blogmanagement...

1] Once logged into front end, my user (assigned to 'administrator' and 'registered') sees all blog posts and articles from all categories and users. I have filtered my categories on the 'blogmanagement' tab in component/config... and not sure of user issue... Why?

2] Once logged into front end as any user (including super user), if I click on 'new article' or an Article title to edit on the blogmanagement page ... I return to HOME screen as URL (e.g. below) not found (If the the article was existing it locks)... why?

e.g. URL = www.-- -sample-only-here- -.com/index.php?view=form&layout=edit&a_id=65&catid=34&return=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5jbGFpcmVzdmlldy5jb20vaW5kZXgucGhwL2Jsb2dtYW5hZ2VtZW50

Thanks in advance
jm

Hi JM
Thanks for reaching out to me. Currently I am online via my phone. Will try to get you up and running on your two questions ;)

1. The front-end blog Managementbell show alleen blogs the logged in user has (write) access to. As your user is member of the administrator group he / she has access to all articles. That is why they all show.
The filter option in the config is not to set the filter, but to limit the drop down list to the categories set. If you do not set a filter, a author sees his own articles, but can see what categories there are, even categories that you don't want to show.
So the trick here is to set proper access rights to the user (author = create article, editor (is also edit other peoples articles, etc)

2. This behavior is introduced somewhere in Joomla version 3.7. starting from this version a menu item (create article) is required in order to avoid routing to a form on the frontpage (that possibly conflicts with modules you have on that pages. So the solution is to create a menu entry (can be hiddenl for the add new article formal

I hope this makes sense, tomorrow I will be back online and can help you if there are still issues / questions ;)

Sorry for any typos / auto-correct things.
Regards, Ruud
