Can Install 0.7.1 ... but starting the component ...
... is giving me a parse error... 
"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /homepages/ 11/d72812928/htdocs/ scifiworld/portal/administrator/ components/com_joobb/ views/user.php on line 401" 
What can I do to make the forum work? I really wanna try it.
Edit: PS: Not sure if this is important... My Joomla CMS is located in a subdirectory of my domain.

hi thorab,
this seems to be a php version problem. if you are running php 4, you will get this error. is there a possibility to use php 5 at your side?

Hi Robbie,
The MySQL version I am currently using with my provider is "MySQL 5.0" (Could choose between 4.x and 5.x). But I can't unfortunately choose explicitly a PHP version.
Kind regards,
Thomas
Re: Can Install 0.7.1 ... but starting the component ...
Hi Robbie,
I just tried the newly posted version 0.7.2, but with the same parse error when trying to launch the component. So I assume the new version was not the fix for my issue...
Meanwhile I checked my webhosting package and it sais php4/php5 - not sure which version really applies. there is no "button" to select ...
PS: Also recognized the bug when quoting longer text. Seems the quoted text does not flow correctly and overwrites the format...
I may wanna wait and watch the progress until the basic issues have been fixed. Still think JooBB is a great project and I look forward to see the first beta for further testing.
Greetings,
Thomas

Hi Robbie,
Hope you do well.
Just want to re-confirm if there is a fix planned for my issue or if PHP 5.x will remain a must requirement to run JooBB on a website.

Re: Can Install 0.7.1 ... but starting the component ...
Good News... I figured out how to upgrade my domain using php 5.x and now everything works brilliant - actually more than brilliant! The Joo!BB is a perfect fit for my website and I am happy to be ready now for more intents testing. SUPER! 
Re: Can Install 0.7.1 ... but starting the component ...
Hi Thomas,
that's perfect. This are some good news. 
I figured out that it is too much work to make Joo!BB compatible with php 4.4.x.
The mainly reason upgrating to version 5 is, that there is no more support for php 4 since 2007-12-31. Please see php downloads.
Kind regards,
Robbie
Re: Can Install 0.7.1 ... but starting the component ...
Hi Robbie,
Thank you for your reply. No serious issue found since I switched on php 5.0. great forum and definately mine!
Just a minor question. If I now pursue to test it and let my users start to post in it - will be an upgrade to the coming beta or the final 1.0 be any issue? I mean, will the posts remain and not getting lost when I update to the next coming editor and or forum versions?
Last but not least - how can I get this cute smiley set?

Thomas
Re: Can Install 0.7.1 ... but starting the component ...
Hi Thomas,
I'm sorry for no updates at the moment. It takes too much time. Until version 1.0 there will be no updates at my side. Jeff mentioned to help me out with updates. Please see the post Status.
It is not recommended to use Joo!BB in production environment at now. Maybe there are still some security problems. There are also not all features implemented.
The Emotion Set you can download here.

Robbie

Hi Robbie,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I understand and will use the forum accordingly - for testing only.
Just found a minor issue: Can't see the black buttons and only the pure text links instead. Is this easy to fix on my side?

Hi Thomas,
yes! You are using German as default language. There is no translation for buttons in german. Please make a copy of the folder /en-GB/ in /components/com_joobb/designs/buttons/ and rename the copy to /de-DE/. This should work. You can find information translating Joo!BB here.

Robbie

Quite often you can add a line to a HTACCESS file to use different versions of PHP.
i.e. SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 5 works with my hosting

Hi,
Yes, this was the solution for my problem.
With that change, everything works fine.
Now waiting for Robbies next release.
