Re: French translation for JooBB and JooCM - 0.9.2

It seems, there is no current French translation. Maybe someone will create one?! It would be nice.

Re: How do I put adsense in my forum?

Gman,

you need to implement the Google generated code into the Joo!BB template. I will post a download link with samples.

Re: Anomaly message "Deprecated : ..."

Jean,

please deactivate it in php.ini. Error, warning and deprecated status should not be shown on live sites. In my opinion it's for developers only to find errors and make the software future compliant.

In the current development version are all those messages fixed. It will be available as 1.0.0 RC1 Phobos.

Re: Need some Help

Robby,

first of all... There is a need to make changes in the template and css files. Therefore it's recommended to use a separate template and style so you will not lost your data on updates. You can find some information doing it this way at documentation page (creating templates).

You can try to decrease the number of emotions (smilies) per row. You can do this by editing the Joo!BB Editor plugin in the backend and just set it to 4 or a value you like. Doing this you should get more space for the editing area (righthand).

The width of the Post Icons can be set in CSS only. You can find it in JOOMLA_ROOT\components\com_joobb\designs\styles\joobb_black\joobb_black.css. Find the entry Code

.jcarousel-skin-joobb .jcarousel-container-horizontal

and play with the width a little bit.

I don't know how to resize the Upload Attachment Box, too. I tryed to make some changes but it didn't work. I'm still on it and I will report to you later.

[EDIT]
I'm so stupid... I tested the wrong file.

To decrease the size of of the attachment box please edit the files JOOMLA_ROOT\components\com_joobb\designs\templates\joobb\joobb_editpost.php AND JOOMLA_ROOT\components\com_joobb\designs\templates\joobb\joobb_edittopic.php.

Find the Code

<input type="file" name="attachmentFiles[]" size="40" class="jbInputBox" />

and change the attribute size to a lower value, e.g. 20.

Re: Security breach/bots

freds,

do you use the current version (0.9.2)?

do you use the original joomla registration? We got the same problem on joobb.org opening joomla registration.

On this way... many thanks to Jeff managing all the unwanted stuff.

[edit]
Do you allow posts by guest users?

Re: Confused ...

Sorry for the late answer! I decided to answer in two parts. Here we go with part one:

Quote by ~cXc~:Ok here goes, hope I can get some answers ...

First of all it's my fault that there is misunderstanding on the software. I know it. It is so, because there is no really good documentation for Joo!CM/Joo!BB. Especially there are no patterns how Joo!CM could be used with other Components (CB, K2...).

Quote by ~cXc~:Is there a connection between Joo!BB and a certain Samurai Forum?

I could have sworn I read that this was becoming that but I see I must have been misinformed or I just don't understand. I would have asked by name but searching the forum turned up nothing, so I thought I would be a little sly about. The reason I ask will become apparent in subsequent post.

Sorry, but there are no connections/data migrations to/from other forums. Maybe someone was motivated once and didn't finished it at all?! There are many people who likes to help but at least some few of them do it. I do not have time enough for this at the moment because I'm about to fix all bugs and put a 1.0 version on the market at all.

There was a bug searching the forum using relative URL's. It is fixed in SVN and I will offer a patch for it.

Quote by ~cXc~:After getting the 445 SVN I must say it is starting to look pretty nice, but there are still some things that really stick out to me so I decided it was time to start asking questions. One of the first things I noticed was of course the admin area is very different from most other J! components, why are there menu items linking to a list with a single item and no reason to expand or way to add additional items?

Do you connect to the SVN on joomlacode.org? If so, please update it to the new one on sourceforge.net. The Joomla-Guys deleted the svn for the second time without a warning, so I decided to manage it on SourceForge.

One of my goals developing this software is to innovate the "world of forum software". This means, that there are new ideas improving it. "New" means that some people appreciate it and some other likes the traditional way working with.

Quote by ~cXc~:For things like Configuration, seems like it should link directly to the config panel not dump us on a list. I'm also wondering about the Terms page and why its a list also, I can see how multiple Terms would work for other languages or maybe if their are multiple types of signups available ... I will assume future use and move on here ... next is why are there two editors for terms, Terms of service and below it is Terms ... I can't figure this out unless this is maybe leftover from early 1.0 dev versions o.O anyway doesn't matter need some work in there or at least an explanation.

Multiple Configuration Management is one of the ideas to make the software more attractive. I have an idea how it can be customized to manage one or multiple configurations.

Terms must be a list. Sorry for that but it's very important for people managing multi language sites.

The two editors are needed because you can show the user both, the terms of agreement and the agreement. If a user already agreed to the terms, there is no need to show him the agreement. But he still has the posibility to view the terms (without agreement).

Re: New features realized for the release 1.0.0 RC1 Phobos

freedom,

it is solved in SVN.

Re: Display users avatar

oh... sorry for the syntax errors... I made it "on the fly".

Yes, you can use K2 avatars. The code is the same. All you need to change is the Avatar Source in Joo!CM configuration.

[EDIT]
Please be in mind K2 is installed.

Re: Display users avatar

You can implement the folowing code into

JOOMLA_ROOT/components/com_joobb/designs/templates/joobb/joobb_header.php

php
Code

$joocmAvatar =& JoocmAvatar::getInstance();

$avatarFile = $joocmAvatar->getAvatarFile($this->joobbUser->get(‘id’);

html
Code

<img src="<?php echo $avatarFile; ?>" />

Re: Change the reply box

T7,

JOOMLA_ROOT\components\com_joobb\designs\templates\joobb\joobb_edittopic.php

and

JOOMLA_ROOT\components\com_joobb\designs\templates\joobb\joobb_editpost.php

are the files you need to customize it.

Robbie

Re: Display users avatar

~cXc~,

where do you want to add the avatar exactly? In other component? Or do you creating an own template for the Joo!CM view?

Robbie

Re: How to change date format

~cXc~,

nice to see you figured out how it works.

No User logged in:
Time Format from Configuration Settings (Configuration) is used

User logged in:
1. Time Format from User defined settings is used (if not found because user didn't saved his settings or you are using other profile-system e.g. CB => 2)
2. Time Format from Registration User Settings Defaults (Configuration) is used.

Re: Fourms colour scheme is chaotic

T7,

please edit css-file

JOOMLA_ROOT\components\com_joobb\designs\styles\joobb_black.css

Find the entry

.jbLabel

and change the colors.

Robbie

PS:
You can also download other emotion sets if you like.

Re: modul - whoisonlinemod ; and a question to the editor

slow,

you can send it to me via email (plz see my profile). Maybe I will add it on my site.

You can find it in:

JOOMLA_ROOT\components\com_joobb\system\joobbengine.php

If you like, you can send me your improvements. Maybe we can than implement it as standard.

Robbie

Re: Confused ...

~cXc~,

I'm about to read your (much) text. An answer will follow.

I got your email, too. Thanks.

oh yes, this is a jinxed week (I hope I can say it this way. Sounds like a German-English 1:1 transtlation). Therefore, it's done, when it's done.

Re: IE 8 Disaster

Jeff,

wow, I didn't know that we are the "better" FF users. Hmmm... I should told this to my mum... She's still using IE 6.

I know, that Yahoo is better placed on the U.S. market versus Goolge in Europe.

Joo!BB - Active Scripting must be activated for proper use

Hi All,

Active Scripting must be activated for proper use of Joo!BB.

IE 8:
Tools => Internet Options => Security => Custom Level...

Scroll down to "Active Scripting" and check it as enable.

Please have a look at Terms of Agreement to check how JavaScript and Cookies will be used at Joo!BB Site.

Re: It's too much height in messahes! How to change?

snowblizz,

please have a look at Creating Template for Joo!BB.

I hope it will help you a little bit?!

Robbie

Re: Need some Help

Robby,

1. yes, you can...

Please edit JOOMLA_ROOT\components\com_joobb\designs\templates\joobb\joobb_board.php. Find the code:
Code

echo $this->currentTime . JText::_(' - '). JText::_('BB_ALLTIMESARE') .' '. $this->currentTimeZoneName; 

and replace it with:
Code

echo $this->currentTime;

2. Sorry, I need more time for this.

3.

4. A menu item to certain user is not possible. This could be a nice feature. All you can do, is a menu item to the current user.

Robbie

Re: Need some Help

Robby,

1. I will made improvements on this next time.

2. When I'm at home, I will have a look at this.

3. You need UddeIM, or some other PMS you like. When you install an other, please go to Joo!CM => Interfaces, find the entry "Messages" and make changes to the parameters.

4. Do I understand you correctly that you want to create a menu entry (e.g in user menu)?

Robbie

IE 8 Disaster

Hi All,

I didn't have a look at Joo!BB on IE for a long time. I'm so sorry for this disaster and any inconvenience!

In my opinion every site should not take care for this f... piece of software! This way any user would switch to alternatives. Please do not understand me wrong. I like my Windows 7. It's a good product so far, but Microsoft should change the whole IE-Team. I do not understand, why all other browsers are able to handle W3C standards, except IE?!
