Re: JCE instead of JoBB editor. Or I have to drop JooBB from site
Hi Fluke,
please feel free to use, or not to use Joo!BB. Fact is, at the moment there's no way to realize this feature. I already tryed to do this, but there were some big problems with this and I decided to fall back to bb editor only for now. The reason is, that some changes on the whole system must be done. I guess, it could be done for Joomla 1.7 releases. Please have a look at Support other editors, e.g. JCE.

Re: Multiple XSS, SQL Injection Vulnerabilities
If you have version 0.9.2 and above, you don't need this patch anymore. 
Re: Instillation problem
Quote by daranp:been trying again. Now I'm getting:
JFile::read: Unable to open file: 'http://www.joobb.org/version/joobb_version.txt'
Any help appreciated.
Success. No idea what I did differently but a couple of "warning messages" aside. It seems to be working.
Daranp,
this message isn't a problem. It only means, that the current version couldn't be get from Joo!BB.
Your first post is more interesting. I hope you were able to solve it as you now get an other error.
In the case of your first post you should try to install as described on Trouble Shooting.

Re: Cant create new profile field, cant edit terms
hicotech,
I was not able to reproduce the error saving a profile field. Could you please posts more details. E.g. which fields did you entered and the values you have used. Many thanks.
Same at saving terms of agreement. Sorry for that, but I'm not able to reproduce it. It works fine for me. Can you post some details please?
- Joomla Version
- PHP Version
- MySQL Version
Many thx.

Re: Agree to terms before posting?
Martin B,
if you mean that the user have to check terms of agreement every time he posts, no, there's no way at now. Sorry. I added your suggestion to my feature list. I can imagine to realize it as follow: Add an option (Yes/No) "I agree Terms of Agreement" and a link to the terms.
For now you can solve it by editing
JOOMLA_ROOT\components\com_joobb\assets\templates\joobb\joobb_editpost.php and joobb_edittopic.php
and adding the following code
Code
<a href="<?php echo JoocmHelper::getLink('terms'); ?>"><?php echo JText::_('BB_TERMS'); ?></a>
Re: Cant create new profile field, cant edit terms
hicotech,
I'm at my regular work at now, so I cannot have a look at it. I will have a look at it and give you an answer when I'm at home.

Re: Error when clicking on "report"
h_mechbal,
many thx for the report. I got it. It is a bug and will be solved.
Robbie
[Edit]
I solved it. You can add the following line
Code
$joobbAuth =& JoobbAuth::getInstance();
Re: Filter users by own defined Groups
elsyan,
my plan is to let the admin to decide which fields should be used as a tag. For example you will be able to click on a country. Doing this, all users from this country will be listed. Of course you will be able to specify one ++ tags by adding the city as example.

Re: joobb posts mod for joomla
rentfloridavillas,
best way to modify the template of the latest posts module is to copy the file
JOOMLA_ROOT/modules/mod_joobbposts/tmpl/default.php
to
JOOMLA_ROOT/templates/MyTemplate/html/mod_joobbposts/default.php
"MyTemplate" stands for your current used Joomla template. Now you can edit and modify it your way. E.g. by removing the br tag. This way you will not loose your changes on updates of the Joo!BB posts module.

Re: Upgrade from 0.9.1 to current version. Any big issues?
Sorry for the late answer! 
I tested it by using the Joomla installer by selecting the zip files. There can be some problems by installing it this way. For example when the provider is a little bit slow and the the skript gets a timeout. FTP'ing the zip files to JOOMLA_ROOT/tmp and start the installer from there can help. Also ftp'ing the extracted files to /tmp and install from directory should work.
The way you make the update doesn't matter. But it is strongly recommended to use the Joomla installer! There are some database updates running within the installer. Updating by ftp'ing the files over the current installation will crash the board until you made the db update by yourself (e.g. phpmyadmin). Further, some no more needed files will be also deleted. Updating with the Joomla installer will keep your installed version up to date all the time.
Re: Newbie ?'s: Avatar display size and US Time Format
You are welcome.
There will be a better solution to handle size of avatars.
No, that's all at the moment. Thank you very much. There must be something wrong with my settings of my host. I need to have a look at it.
I added the format "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p" which will be shown as "11/15/2010 07:25 PM" as a standard entry to Joo!CM. So it will be always available in future. Many thx for the advise.
Re: Newbie ?'s: Avatar display size and US Time Format
Doyle,
many thx for the compliment.
1.
You may do something like that by editing JOOMLA_ROOT\components\com_joobb\assets\templates\joobb\themes\joobb_black\joobb_black.css
Code
.jbAvatarImage {
border: solid 9px #e3e3e3; width: 80px; height: 80px;
}
Re: Upgrade from 0.9.1 to current version. Any big issues?
Martin B,
I were able to update from 0.9.1 to 1.0.0 RC4 without any problems. Hope it works for you, too. Anyway I would advise you to make a backup. Especialy database.
If there should be a problem, do not hesitate to post it here.
Good luck.
Robbie
Re: Upgrade from 0.9.1 to current version. Any big issues?
Martin B,
normally there's no problem to update directly to current version from 0.9.1. I will give you some more feedback in about twelve hours (I'm at work now).
There are some bigger changes in 1.0.0 RCx. Therefore, please have a look at Joo!CM update information and Joo!BB update information.

Re: Image insertion and editor questions
Andy,
hope you are not disapointed with me, but I decided to release RC4 ASAP because of an annoying bug. Please have a look at Registered can not edit own post unless edit all - registered.
I just were able to rework the color picker. I'm now about to implement your idea to enable the image insertation tool.
Robbie
Re: Registered can not edit own post unless edit all - registered
Johns,
many thx for the bug report. It is my fault. It happened in RC3 on improving permissions at saving a topic or post. It's solved in SVN. I will release 1.0.0 RC4 soon.
Robbie
[Edit]
Please download and install the Joo!BB Beta 1.0.0 Phobos RC4 Install Pack. Please be in mind to update Joo!CM first.
Re: Import history posts and users from newbb into Joo!bb
Ellie,
I'm sorry about that, but there are no importers now. The only way to import data is using SQL Statements. E.g.:
Code
INSERT INTO #__joobb_users...
SELECT FROM newbb_users...
Re: hi there i have a problem witn your forum mod
heartstorn,
it's hard to say what's wrong. I've been able to locate ccBoard on your site but not Joo!BB. 
I need some more information. Did you made a fresh install or an update? If you made an update, from which version did you updated Joo!BB?

Re: where can I download version 9.x
aadjeh,
I need to have look at it at home. It's long time ago with 0.7.x so I don't know anymore if there could be any problems.
[Edit]
I now remember... There were no update support from 0.7.x to 0.9.x. You can dowload version 0.9.0 at joomlacode.org.
Please also have a look at Database Migration from Joobb 0.7.7 to Joobb 0.9 w/ JooCM 0.9 and Joo!BB News.

Re: Forum URLs
Alex,
many thx for discovering Joo!BB.
Joo!BB is fully Joomla integrated and uses Joomla SEF as default. You can have a look at the Joomla SEF Documentation for more information how to set up SEF in Joomla.

Re: Image insertion and editor questions
Quote by Android:Hi, I've been searching the forums for answers but can’t find any and my eyes hurt from staring at the screen for so long !!!! So here are some questions, any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Quote by Android:
OK, you can insert an image from a web address url if its already hosted online somewhere but what if you want to upload an image from your hard drive straight into the post or can the forum editor access the Joomla media folders for this purpose? So is it possible to enable the image insertion tool in the forum editor to ‘navigate’ to an image and choose it. It feels as though it should be a simple thing to do, am I missing something vital?
This is a very good idea. I will see if it will be possible to implement it in RC3. If not, next release (RC4) for sure.
Quote by Android:
My second question concerns the editor again, is it possible to install another editor and use it like the JCE editor, the drop down menu in the back end configuration panel only displays one editor choice (Editor- JooBB!)??
We are talking about two kinds of editors. BB-Editors and WYSIWIG. BB-Editors are more secure in my eyes... Anyway, you can expect the possibility to use Joomla editors in Joo!BB (e.g. JCE). This takes some time because I need to restructure the code. But I'm already on this way.
