After spending the last few days trying to trouble shoot this issue, going back and forth with the template developer and testing out several more templates from different developers and also the cassiopeia joomla default, I have been able to get the blog title link to display the blog content but in ALL instances it will still redirect to the home page.
What I have tried
- I used several other templates and each time assigned it (Template 1) only to the "home" menu item of the site. All other pages, including the user profile are set to (Template 2).
When the blog title is clicked from the profile page it redirects to the home page always (template 1) and displays the blog content under whatever is on that page. I have a photo gallery on the home page that is only assigned to the "home" menu item and I don't want it to show above all of the blogs.
I have even disabled the image gallery module but the blog still goes to the home page for display.It appears that something about the blog title link wants to call the home page as the place to display the content and it is not unique to one template, it happens with all of them.
Lastly, I created a CB Blogs item for the user menu, with a blog ID assigned it displays as expected but for the owner only, other users can't access the owners user menu. If no Blog ID is assigned an error message results.
Questions I couldn't figure out1. Is there a way to tell the blog which site template to display on? - The plugin template option is only "default", but that isn't one of the site templates.2. Is the blog display supposed to show on the site home page? Because if it is, then is there a way to direct it to a not do that?
IMAGES INCLUDED
- Blog display error on the desired template (when blog title clicked below canvas image)
- Blog display error on Cassiopeia template (when blog title clicked below canvas image)
- User menu item error (no Blog ID assigned)
- User menu item correct display (Blog ID assigned) *Note - Even though this works, it only works for the profile owner, not others.
I really wanted to try and figure this out and have spent the last few days trying to figure it out with the template developer, but when it was discovered the issue was reproduced on all templates, they suggested I follow up with you. I am at a loss and don't know if it's a quick fix that i'm just missing, but I feel clueless.
This isn't really an urgent fix, but it is something I would like to solve to avoid confusion as I anticipate more users accessing and using it in the next few months.
Thanks
