I updated my site to EasyBlog 5 (well fortunately a copy of my site) this broke the use of GK5 News Show Pro. But after upgrading that module to the latest version I got my site back but no images in any of the News Show listings.
I did some investigation and the failed image path is:
/images/easyblog_articles/user:991/filename.jpg
I believe for my site the correct path should be:
/images/easyblog_images/991/filename.jpg
The two issues seem to be:
[1] My media path is set to /easyblog_images in the easyblog configuration, it has always been that from the original default easyblog install. The News Show path uses /easyblog_articles/ which is also what the current easyblog demo site uses. I believe that News Show should take the path from the configuration settings database but if that part is hard wired I did try renaming my configuration and renaming the directory. Obviously now the image path is much nearer, but still fails because of the next item
[2] The /user:991/ should be /991/ this looks just like a mistake. Perhaps this is why the correct media path is not picked up, but unless I manually edit this out in FireBug I do not get images.
So I hope this helps define the problem I can PM you access to the site and I hope any solution does let me use the original image path because changing it does stop easyblog images appearing in blogs so probably a heap of work changing them all over. Their media path tool does not seem to do that.

Hi

Looks like EasyBlog has changed the way of image storage. Please send me an access to joomla panel and ftp so I'll pass it to programmers for a fix.

Just seen your reply, sorry been a vacation here.
I will be updating the site soon, I did back out of the latest Easy Blog to maintain development with the customer. But I will send you access to a test site in the next 24h or so.

OK an update. Since I backed out of the update I had to re-create the issue, so rather than use a complicated production site I used a site in development, Now there has been a couple of updates in easyblog since my tests so I used the latest version.
I guess the good news is all works fine, your module works as well as always and you get a clean sheet. My bad.
No less good news for me, I updated a clone of my original site, same problem, the image paths are wrong so no images. But after rather too long I see that the image path you use is pulled from the posts database table and looking there the offending /user:991/ is in that table.
So conclusion is that the update to the later version of easy blog has caused the problem, the blog image itself is correct so the image shows up in the blog but I suspect you guys pull the smaller images for obvious reasons and they have the incorrect path.
So embarrassingly I have wasted your time, my apologies and thanks for taking the time to respond.
regards steve
