I have installed Fireboard and the DiscussBot and both appear to be working correctly. When I try to add an entry on the forum by clicking on the "Discuss in form" link, I get taked to the new thread editor page but there is no subject. The subject is blank and is not a text box so I can not type in a subject. Whe I try to submit the thread I get a popup error asking me to type a subject.

I think that the DiscussBot should be taking the article title and using that as a subject, is this correct?

Thanks,

Yup, should be. Check the URL, you should see it in there...

There is nothing appearing in the URL. When using the bot, the tail of the URL reads as follows;

fireboard/post/newFromBot/0/8/

Where should the subject line be in the URL?

Thanks,

I broke it apart so you can read it easier... There should be a "resubject" parameter...
What are you using for SEF?

/component
/option,com_fireboard
/Itemid,26
/func,post
/do,newFromBot
/resubject,Garbled text as subject here
/catid,9
/rowid,131
/rowItemid,1
/

I am using SEF Advance. Tried uninstalling the bot and reinstalling,still no luck.

Mind if I ask exactly *which* bot you're using?

I am using fbdiscussbot by Two Shoes M-Factory ver2.4.

After reinstall, I have tried disabling the SEF and the bot will work (include the subject) but this is not ideal as the SEF is important.

Thanks,

Have you tried this one:
www.objectclarity.com/index.php?option=c...func=select&id=2

I've done a lot of work on it and it's pretty solid...

[edit]
(They probably can't co-exist so you 'll likely have to remove the old one first...)

[edit]
get the 1.0.2 version!

OK, some success here.

The Discuss this article in the forums links does not work, same problem as before. If I use the Quick post link, this works perfectly. At this stage, after the first post has been submitted, if I click on the discuss link it now goes to the forum correctly.

Making progress

PS: So this bot is SO much better, I like the configuration options available.

Is that 'cause the old ones are already created in your SEF tables?
