How to view an old post?
By Soor
When using "Search" or viewing activity page, there are only two rows of a post to see. How can I get to the whole post?
There are only two links: to users profile and to the blog,... but not to the post itself.

You must log in to post replies.In the activity river the entry should show up a link (with blog title) that you can follow to get to the whole blog posting:
<user link> published a blog post <blog title link>
Corresponding links should be included in the river entries for any other type of content. Also, in the search result the entries have links to get to the full view of the results found.
Which version of Elgg are you using? And what is the site language of your Elgg installation? Also, do you use any theme plugin?
The Elgg version should not matter too much (while it surely is adviced to use the latest version I'm not aware that your problem was a bug in any older Elgg version).
If using a language pack to allow for another site language than English this language pack might be buggy. This could result in the link in the river entries not show up.
A theme plugin could introduce the problem, too. While I'm not aware of any theme plugin causing such a problem it might help to disable any theme at least temporarily to see if this changes anything regarding the river entries.
The link is shown as commented a blog post
If I click on the I get the first post of the blog, but not the comment.
I have tried this on Elgg 1.8.15 and 1.8.16, with default theme and Purity Three Theme. Instalation language is English with no other language pack.

It's the same with "Search".
I am using "/Advanced Comments 2.0", but when I disable it, it's still the same.
I think I now understand. I wasn't aware that you were referring to comments. The link in the title line of river entries does indeed open the blog post (or generally speaking the content that has been commented on) and does not scroll down to the comment made. So, the behaviour on your site is at least not "wrong" as such as it works like implemented in Elgg core. The fact that you would like to jump directly to the comment is understandable but this behaviour is currently not implemented in Elgg core. I'm also not aware there's any plugin available that would add this feature.
Maybe we'll see it implemented in a future version of Elgg...
Oh, I see.
Thanx for your answer.
