Smart Blog Module Error

[saggara]

I recently installed Pretashop 1.6.1.7 

 

Theme I picked had a module of smart blog module as I was looking for a theme with blog. during the theme installation, it gave me an error that the smart blog module isn't installed properly. I did tried to remove and reinstall theme but result was same. If I go into the backend and click Smart Blog Module Configure, I get the following error. Theme Developer hasn't been of much help. Just been posting vague statements once in 24 hr.

 

Please help. I have seen another ticket have this same issue but didn't notice an outcome.

The module is known to have some installation problems on some systems. But we can't figure it out without investigating the whole code which would take too much time. Maybe try another module or report your probleme here:

Or check the ps_tab table in your database, maybe there is an inconsistency there. However when I search for "Admin tab AdminAboutUsController is not a module tab" I find many error reports regarding your module.

If I quickly read throug the pages in the post above, I see lots of these complaints with the exact same error message. Maybe manually update the module if you haven't done so. However this mod looks like having caused many problems in the past - SQL injection included.

Hi there,

 

Which smart blog version you are using? Please use the smartblog git version: https://github.com/smartdatasoft/smartblog. Hope it'll resolve your issues.

 

Thanks

Hi there, 

I have some issues with using SmartBlog v2.2 with Presta 1.6.1.18. It looks like it was installed correctly, but for some reasons, it does not display the full posts. When you click on the post, it shows only short version (title, short description and picture) + comments under it. There are no options to open the post deeper to see the actual body of the post. 

Has anyone experienced such an issue?
