Re: Topic icons are vertical, not horizontal
Addendum:
If I have a custom JooBB theme could this be the reason it won't work?
I changed the code to remove some profile info from the posts and created custom a theme and I might not have gotten all parts into it.
EDIT:
Managed to fix my problems. Turns out it was indeed a problem with my custom template. I am a bit too clever for my own good it seems.
as per suggestion on creating a custom template I changed all the joobb_ to myOwnBB_ (not exactly, but the suffix is immaterial) in EVERY folder I could find them. Turns out I should have left the /templates/myOwnBB/js alone.
Now that I changed back all prefixes in /js back to joobb_ the carousel works again!
Re: Topic icons are vertical, not horizontal
Well it works as it should on these boards. So it can't be something on my personal machine I think, the problem shows up on my laptop and "real computer" both.
Topic icons are vertical, not horizontal
I'm having trouble finding out where to fix the issue when topic icons render vertically and not horizontally.
I searched and found a topic but the fix there didn't seem to be working. At least the "fixed" files were very much different from my 0.9.2 installation.

please have a look at Creating Template for Joo!BB.
I hope it will help you a little bit?!

Thank you, it did. I do not know how I could have missed this one when I was looking for it. Or maybe it did not exist previously and I'm not completely blind?
I finally managed to get it to work. Had some problems with getting it to accept the "prefix" string at first. But with all lowercase letters it now works.
Re: It's too much height in messahes! How to change?
Can you describe in more detail the process of changing a template?
I d/l the default template from my site,/components/com_joobb/designs/templates/, renamed the folder "joobb" -> "joobb_mysite", changed the name, author etc, in joobb_mysite/joobb.xml and made changes in joobb_post.php .
I then uploaded joobb_mysite to the same folder as joobb.
Now in my backend I can see my template but both my new template and default template are marked as "default" and the forum does not change.
Is there something else that needs to be modified?
Re: 0.9.1 to 0.9.2 installation issues
I'm not going to say "definitely" but it seems very likely it was lag being the problem. I tried to re-install it just now and this time it worked. Finally listed as 0.9.2
I do get the following message though but it doesn't seem to impair the forum working. It could be because I already "installed" it once.
Code
Duplicate column name 'auto_subscription' SQL=ALTER TABLE `jos_joobb_users` ADD `auto_subscription` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0' AFTER `enable_emotions`;
Message
Joo!BB database update failed. Please see previous messages.
Re: 0.9.1 to 0.9.2 installation issues
As far as I can tell this is the Joomla system information:
Code
Database Version: 5.0.77-log
Database Collation: utf8_general_ci
PHP Version: 5.2.10
Web Server: Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) PHP/5.2.10 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_psoft_traffic/0.2 mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_macro/1.1.2
Web Server to PHP interface: apache
Joomla! Version: Joomla! 1.5.9 Production/Stable [ Vatani ] 9-January-2009 23:00 GMT
0.9.1 to 0.9.2 installation issues
I can't for my life figure out what problem I have.
I installed/upgraded JooCM 0.9.2 fine through the joomla "gui" but when I try to install JooBB it just stops with a blank screen after thinking for some time. Ftp:ing to the server I find that it has unzipped to an installation folder but it never gets further than that it seems. If if try to install an unpacked version from a folder in /tmp that also stops after "thinking" for a while with a blank screen.
Any ideas?
Edit:
It seems it has updated all the files as they are now dated 14.1.2010.
It is still listing the version as 0.9.1 though.
Do I dared press the "Update" in the installation tab? Or will that erase everything for me as it did when upgrading from 0.7x (which I now know I should have done another way).
Edit2:
It seems about half the files installed. Ftp:ing manually I got the rest in and it seems to work now. Still registering as 0.9.1 though. I hope it will still work.
Re: Profile fields - JooBB frontentd
This is something I also would like to see. My users make shorts posts mainly and the forum is filled with whitespace.
Re: Problem parsing BB code
Quote by Robbie:Hi snowblizz,
ooops. I'm late. Sorry. 
Joo!BB has an own BB-Code Parser. As you already figured out it's possible to disable the parser in the configuration. I designed it this way to allow other plugins to be able to parse BB Codes.
Kind regards,
Robbie
And an excellent idea it was!
Now, I'm curious which parser is not "following standards" because it seems the internal parser can't cope with IMGs as URLs. If you get my meaning. Image links basically.
Just curious, was I doing something wrong or is there a bug somewhere.
Problem parsing BB code
I'm trying to get a hobby forum running, and e.g. I often use Photobuckets facility autogenerate BB-code with a clickable thumbnail linked to the main picture on PB.
I can't get it to accept the following, it only shows the thumbnail but there's no link.
[url=http://www.example.com/imsges/image.jpg][img]http://www.example.com/imsges/image_tb.jpg[/img][/url]
I do use a yvBBCode extension, could this be interfering?
Edit: without yvBBcode, it shows sorta like this:
[URL][IMG]http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff120/example/image_th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
EDIT2:
And now it suddenly works. Go figure. If I disable BBcode in the JooBB post and have yvBBcode enabled it seems ti work, at least for now.
Modifying the profile field?
Like the title, can I modify the profile section? I'd like to have a bit less information showing, as the threads become so long and filled with white space when people make several short replies. The one to the right, I mean. I don't need to show whent he suer joined and last visited etc etc.
Re: Some Suggestions
I also like the clean and streamlined look.
The major thing I miss is being able to assign custom titles to users. Or I just can't figure out how.
