9 different color schemes for Joo!BB - Default Design.

This weekend, a friend asked me if I could help him change the color scheme
of his Joo!BB board to better match the color scheme of his site.
Now that I was playing around with it anyway, I decided to make some additional color variations as well.
If he wanted to change the default colors, chances are that someone-else wants that too.

The result of modifying the existing images, stylesheets and ini files are 9 additional color schemes for the Joo!BB default design.

The file was a bit too large to upload here (1.4Mb), but anyone that wants it can get it at
http://home.planet.nl/~mulco000/joobb/colors/9_joobb_color_schemes.zip.

Just extract the zip file to the /components/com_joobb/designs/ folder.
Then, if you go to the back-end, and open the Joo!BB - Default Design, you can select the 9 colors in the dropdown boxes for Style, Button-Set, and Icon-Set.

Hope someone likes it.

Kind regards,
Bert

Re: Send visitor to the proper page after logon.

Cool Robbie.

Thanks!

Looking forward to Phobos RC1.

Send visitor to the proper page after logon.

Although from an administrator point of view, Joo!CM may seem a nice user information repository, the way it is implemented causes a major annoyance for many visitors of the Joo!BB forum and, in fact, drive visitors away from the forum.

Here is why:
Normally, when someone visits a forum, he browses/reads through the forum and when he finds a topic he want to reply on he will login.
Unfortunately, after login, the visitor is redirected to the Joo!CM main view with all these icons he is not interested in at that moment.
In fact, it means that after a successfull logon, he will have to browse through the forum again to find his way back to the topic he wants to reply to.
Many visitors just give-up at that point and, annoyed as they are, leave the forum.

So, here is the requested feature:
Would it be possible to modify Joo!CM in such a way that, after successfull logon, the user is sent back to the page from where he clicked logon. That may also be beneficial for other community products that may become to depend on Joo!CM in the future.

Alternatively it could be implemented as a configuration setting in Joo!CM, in such a way that a page to redirect to after logon (and logoff) can be configured in Joo!CM and, if not configured, the user is redirected to the page from where he clicked logon or logoff.

Easier said than done for a newbie

My question is basically the same as Raj's.
When a visitor uses the logon link in the top of the forum, he gets redirected to the JooCM page with all these icons.

What I would like to achieve is that I can (at least) redirect the visitor to the JooBB forum, and if possible to the same location from where he clicked the logon link.

Quote by jhetrick62:Raj,

The redirect upon login to the Joo! components, can't be changed unless you want to change the code yourself. Now I don't use the forum login in my site as it is contained within a larger site that runs Community Builder so once you log into my site, you are redirected to the site's main page. From there, if you click the "Forum" button, you go directly to Joo!BB.

If you are using the forum on a public page and that is the only area that needs to be logged into, it will direct them to the Joo!CM main menu I'm pretty sure unless you modify the code yourself.

For your second question, the user name display, avatar display and the rankings can all be adjusted in the Joo!BB configuration in the backend of your Joomla site. The rest below that can't be adjusted unless you again want to change the code yourself.

This link is to the same question and it was just answered by Robbie, the creator of this forum.

Jeff

As Jeff mentioned, this appears to be hardcoded on the PHP scripts.

Can anyone point me in the right direction where to find this redirection code?
I don't think it would be that difficult to redirect to the forum overview.

If I want to redirect to the page from where the visitor clicked the logon link, the topic and Itemid variables need to be passed to the login view and processed from there.

Any suggestions where to look in the code would be appreciated.
