I would like to see JooBB to work independent of Joo!CM, like it was before, waited long for a good native Joomla 1.5 forum, don't want to look elsewhere.
As the topic subject says 'Do I have to install JooCM if I only want forum?'
I only need a forum, previous version of JooBB v0.7 was stand alone, with new version it seems I need to install extra component which I don't need, can I use new version of joobb as standalone
Exactly, if special code is needed it is better to be added now so foundation can be build upon.
I am sure once JooBB stable (or RC) is released, other developers will start releasing add-ons for it, in the mean while maybe you could request those guys to code a search plugin for it.
For faster troubleshooting it is always recommended to state version of JooBB and Joomla.
Request for advance search, where user can specify in which board and by which author to search for.
Another request, since a lot has been changed from v0.7.4 I would suggest to release v0.7.5 and continue bug fixing and adding feature for beta version.
I meant reply notification in JooBB, is not working.
Thanks I didn't realize there was a new SQL file.
One more thing/bug I have notify on reply enabled but didn't receive email notification, anyone else have this problem.
Joomla 1.5.4
Installed JooBB v0.5.9 than updated to SVN v135 since I didn't want to report bugs that are already fixed in SVN but after update I can not access forum in front-end and froum configuration in backend.
I have posted the error in tracker, sorry for posting it here too, I just wanted to bring to your attention so a fix can be committed and I continue testing JooBB.

This project has potentials but it seems the interest to develop it further has gone, for instance notify on reply doesn't work, I just stopped by to see if any new release was made when I saw the reply to my post (yes I have notify on reply on)
By registration/login module I mean one native to Joo!bb so it would show Joo!bb fields.
Hope the project continues...
Do you have a public SVN, I don't mind testing with alpha version.
I was/am using Joomla 1.0.12 and SMF but recently my site got hacked, I couldn't update Joomla because of bridge and GPL issue with SMF, I started looking for alternative to SMF but this time I wanted something Joomla base so Fireboard was the only option until I came across Joo!BB, I installed it on localhost I must say for a single developer very impressive well done.
Now that I know you will continue development and won't abandon the project I will start testing the forum more thoroughly.
Hopefully someone will help you with converters (SMF, Fireboard, phpbb and etc.) otherwise users with boards will not switch easily.
Please add a registration module to replace Joomla login/registration module
