If I click on the blog module menu in my top menu bar
https://www.punkbandpromotions.com
Then on the Newest Blogs tab which shows by default, I click on a heading of any blog anchor

It goes to another page with just the blog ( No Images or anything )
Then, click again on the heading of the blog again and it stays where it is ( Just keeps refreshing the same url ) ?

Shouldn't it go to the profile where it was posted so people can comment on it?
( This to me should happen at the top level, Not three clicks away, even if it did go to the creation url )

Link
https://www.punkbandpromotions.com/blogs
click on top blog heading ( or any for that matter ) then next page do it again.
It goes nowhere

I can only access the profile if I click on the comments text at the bottom of the blog post Or on the cog top right ( Which is a bit confusing )

( USING NOVA CLONE - BLOG TPL's UPDATED TODAY )

EDIT:-

Just found another issue.
If I click on the category text, down the bottom near Comments ( In this case Site News, It goes to a 404 page???
Just tried with every blog we have posted so far and they are all the same

EDIT 2:-

Seems there is another problem

If I go to the link below from our blog feed on the front page of our site ( clicking the heading for that blog on feed on front page )
https://www.punkbandpromotions.com/blogs/search/assault-battery-compilation-benefits-bat-world-sanctuary
It goes to the newest blogs tab and is empty.

Has to be something at my end with the feed coming from the front page maybe?.

This is my code for the front page.

        {if isset($_conf.jrPunkBP_site_news_ids) && $_conf.jrPunkBP_site_news_ids > 0}
            {jrCore_list module="jrBlog" order_by="blog_display_order numerical_asc" search1="blog_category = site news" search2="_profile_id in `$_conf.jrPunkBP_site_news_ids`" limit="5" template="index_site_news.tpl" assign="SITENEWS"}
        {else}
            {jrCore_list module="jrBlog" order_by="blog_display_order numerical_asc" search1="blog_category = site news" search2="_profile_id = 1" limit="5" template="index_site_news.tpl" assign="SITENEWS"}
        {/if}
        {if isset($SITENEWS) && strlen($SITENEWS) > 0}
            {$SITENEWS}
        {/if}

But I don't see why the headings of each blog would be changed instead of pointing at their original creation URL .

Any help?

The latest Nova templates have been updated to fix a few issues, I just updated the Marketplace yesterday with the new files.

The blog page was setup to be more of a site blog page for Nova and not a profile blog page. But that doesn't mean you can't change it to suite your needs.

The files involved are the blogs.tpl, blogs_entry.tpl and blogs_row.tpl.

If you would rather have the titles take you to the profiles blog page, change the URL in the link for the blog title from this:

{$jamroom_url}/blogs/search/{$item._item_id}/{$item.blog_title_url}

to:

{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.blog_title_url}

Hope this helps,
Douglas

Yes I would prefer everywhere that they went to the original blog page
It seems silly to have it in another place with no styling ( Images etc which I have already posted about a long time ago )

Thanks @douglas, But I'm not sure I am following
I already updated the clone with the new edits before testing everything ( first time for blog pages )

How would I edit my code above then on the front page?
As thats the only issue with the tile links so far from the front page feed.

If I edited the skin templates that will effect site wide no?

Checkout the index_site_news.tpl in the latest Nova download, the link on the blog title was changed to use the blog ID just in case there are more than one blog with the same title.

The URL should look like this:

{$jamroom_url}/blogs/search/{$item._item_id}/{$item.blog_title_url}

Notice the addition of the {$item._item_id}

Hope this helps,
Douglas

Thanks @douglas. Worked perfectly.
For some reason I missed the update in site news tpl file
Changed it to the above and now it goes directly to the article.
