For the first issue related to Thumbnail > Use first article image, I figured out the reasons and got fix as well as updated on your site. Now, I temporarily set Thumbnail into Use first article... to let you take a quick look on it.
I attached the file, lines changed and path to this file in the file.zip below. This update will be included in the next official release.

Hi Saguaros,
while I am waiting on your dev team to come back with a solution of the reported issue, I found another issue on your provided version of mod_jacontentlisting in this thread. There were no files in the layouts folder and just index.php.
So please let your dev team know about this. I have in the meantime copied and pasted the directories with all files from the official version of the module.

Otherwise please note that the reported issue in this ticket is impacting 7 Joomla installations and sites. It is really critical for us to get a fix asap.

Hi, mberwing

Regarding the second issue: only index.php file in folders /tmpl/layouts/layout-01 and so on. I took a carefully check mod-ja-contentlisting on your current site above and our download site, it still works file with fully files in all folders.
Would you please give me your other sites, so I can check and help you solve that issue.?

Hi Vanhs010,

thanks so much for the reply and the provided fix. This is much appreciated since the issue became quite critical for us because we are hitting this on a number of Joomla sites.
I can confirm that the fix is working fine with Thumbnail > Use first article image

But as reported to you there is scenario with Thumbnail image setting 'Post Cover Image'.

Then it is the other way around and images are being correctly displayed with correct image link/URL for newly created EasyBlog posts whereas there are no images for the migrated/imported EasyBlog posts altough there are post cover images being assigned for all posts.

Can you please check this also.

We need to be flexible to use both options Thumbnail > Use first article image as well as Post Cover Image.
Post Cover Image is our favorite.

For the issue that there was only index.php file in folders /tmpl/layouts/layout-01 .....I have manually copied the missing files from official mod jacontentlisting version.
No idea why they were missing before - and I cannot reproduce the issue since all files are indeed included in the provided module from saguaros two weeks ago. So you can ignore this and it is not an issue.

Thanks and regards
Markus

HI Markus,

I don't see the images of imported posts on your site, I just tried to remove the cover image for this post: 098 Containerbeladung nach Léo/ Burkina Faso 25.06.2021 and upload image again but it failed.

Could you try?

Hi saguaros,

I have just uploaded new image for post '098 Containerbeladung nach Léo/ Burkina Faso 25.06.2021' and assigned it to 'Post Cover Image'. So this worked fine for me.

Please note I have switched from Thumbnail > Use first article image to Post Cover Image on module JA Content Listing on our homepage for testing purposes. The module is named 'Aktivitäten'.

EasyBlog Posts 099, 100 and 101 have been manually created in EasyBlog and the Post Cover image is visible on module JA Content Listing.
All other posts ....for example 091 - 098 ....have been migrated by EasyBlog migrator from Joomla posts.
They also have Post cover images associated when you open them in EasyBlog - but the post cover image is not visible on JA Content Listing on our homepage !

As stated, your team fixed the issue with Thumbnail > Use first article image ...... but the issue with post cover image still exists

Hi Markus,

Let me check with our dev on Thumbnail >> Post Cover Image issue and get back to you.

mberwing

Hi saguaros,

thanks a lot.
I do not understand why development team not covered this at first place together with Thumbnail > Use first article image, since I have reported both issues in this ticket from the very beginning.

Markus

Sorry for the misunderstanding here, I will keep you posted.

Hi, mberwing

I am sorry for missing another issue on your post. Now, this issue has been resolved with the following lines changes: 173 ->175, in /modules/mod_jacontentlisting/helpers/adapter/easyblog.php . And this solution will be integrated into the next release version.

Hi Vanhs

thanks a lot for the new updated code and fix.
I just tested the solution on our reference site on which you worked and I can confirm that now all is looking fine.

Please give me some time to test the same code on another site on which we have just performed a migration of all Joomla articles to EasyBlog.

I am going to update you then with my final results.

Thanks again and cheers
Markus

saguaros

Let us know if you need any further help then, Markus 😉

Hi Saguaros, hi Vanhs,

I tested the updated code and module JA Content Listing on a different site with same setup - but I have to tell you that there are still issues.

With the latest code the situation is as follows:

1 - Thumbnail >> Post Cover Image
Manually created EasyBlog posts : o.k.
Migrated posts : o.k.

2 - Thumbnail >> Use first article image
Manually created EasyBlog posts : still Post Cover Image is being used instead of first article image
Migrated posts : still Post Cover Image is being used instead of first article image

Please note I have updated the site access with login to the other Joomla4 page so that you can check

Best regards
Markus

Hi Markus,

We will check this but which option you will use? Post cover image or use first article image? If the post cover image works, please continue to use it to save time.

mberwing

Hi saguaros,

thanks.
For sure we are currently using Post Cover image but we have other sites where we need to use first article image because there are no Post cover images assigned to the posts. We have migrated a page with more than 1000 Joomla articles to EasyBlog and cannot afford to spend time in manually open every post and associate a post cover image.

So both options have to work properly.

As stated in last update: with latest provided code post cover image is being used altough Thumbnail >> Use first article image is activated.

Markus
