I just installed FB on joomla 1.5 in legacy mode, and everything seemed to install fine. But when I attempt to register a new user, I was not taken to a confirmation page. The new registration page just refreshed. I did receive a confirmation email, so I went back to the main forum screen and tried to login. When I click the "login" link, nothing happens...the page just refreshes. Any ideas?

I have the same issue, but I didn't get a confirmation email.

Registration issues with 1.5 and certain templates have been a recurring problem. Luckily, one where the solutions have for the most part been worked out. To help you I need a little more info.
1. Are you using the most current nightly build of 1.5?
2. What template are you using? (try using Beez and see if registration works. If it does I know the fix.)
3. Are new users able to register on the Joomla portion of the site?

If you would provide a link to your site I could try to register as a new user and see what's going on. You can take a look at my site to see how it is supposed to work. I'll tell you it took some doing to get Joomla and my template to work correctly. Fireboard worked fine after I got the other two in line. My site is alcoholicsanonymousonline.com Go to the Study Forum to see Fireboard and register as a new user from there. You can also register from the front page through Joomla and after activation and Login Fireboard lets you right in and does not require an additional login.

I'm guessing the Template choice is probably why my FB isn't working. I'm using the new template from JoomlArt - JA_barite.

My website's here: ashtonmurphy.com/

Please feel free to check it out. I'll leave the Forum open until someone looks at it. Please get in contact with me because I do need this working for some clients.

I have a SMF Forum set up, but I would much rather FireBoard. It's a much better product overall.

EDIT: I tried using Beez, still didn't work. Currently running Joomla! 1.5 RC3, Legacy 1.0 and new users can register at the Joomla! portion of the site.

Thank you all,

Sorry about the double post, but something else I've noticed, whenever you try to go into a Category or Child Board from the main page of the Forum, it just opens Article 93, which is the Forum itself.
Although if you click on the drop-down menu to pick a category or child Forum, it opens fine.
I still can't log in as anyone because I just get taken to this screen for either log in or register: ashtonmurphy.com/index.php?option=com_user&view=login

Any suggestions or feedback on this would help dearly. Even any suggestion to where the error may be, overall or even in the coding, I can take a look at.

Got one more thing to add to the Joomla 1.5 oddities list, probably related. I haven't pored over the code, but after you post a message, you have two options, return to forum and return to thread. The return to thread doesn't work; no matter which you select, you get returned to the forum, and it's also the default, whereas I would expect the return to thread option to be the default.

How do you set it to return to the thread as defualt? It appears the link works for me but by default it returns to the forum...

My main problem is:

At the top of the page the "register" link is bad.

Here's the site: culdceptsaga.com/forum

"login" works for some reason. Though it links to a somewhat ugly page (I blame my Joomla theme for that).

"register" has a band link

"lost password" literally links to nothing

EDIT: I fixed the link problems by editing the profilebox.php file.
I followed the same convention that it has for the login link and replaced view=login with the corresponding view.

I would still like to know how to return to thread instead of return to forum by default...

I am experiencing a slight problem maybe someone will help.

I just installed Joomla 1.5.1 and Installed version: FireBoard 1.0.4 Stable [ Teakwood ]

Everything installed correctly but I have ran into a small problem.

I was adding categories in the FireBoard Administration and after I added the eleventh category and displaying 10 categories the NEXT / END buttons do not work.

I had to change the display drop down menu to 20 to see the more categories.

Just though I would point out the problem. Thanks

[code:1]DB function failed with error number 1054
Unknown column 'g.id' in 'on clause' SQL=SELECT a.*, a.name AS category, u.name AS editor, g.name AS groupname, h.name AS admingroup FROM jos_fb_categories AS a LEFT JOIN jos_users AS u ON u.id = a.checked_out LEFT JOIN jos_core_acl_aro_groups AS g ON g.id = a.pub_access LEFT JOIN jos_core_acl_aro_groups AS h ON h.id = a.admin_access GROUP BY a.id ORDER BY a.ordering, a.name [/code:1]

I got Joomla 1.0.13 and fireboard 1.4 and got the same problem as many in here , is there a way to fix it ? I search on the forum and nothing !

I'm new to joomla but have worked with xoops for some time.

I got it all installed, But forgive my newbie question, HOW DO I Make it appear on my home page?????
....
Yea, its easy, go to your menu configuration, disable Frontpage and enable Fireboard ect ect

I still don't get this.

I click on the menu manager but there's no fireboard listing...

..or front page manager but again it doesn't seem clear how to add forum content to the front page.

In xoops it would be easy, each module has blocks and you just activate the blocks and specify where they should appear (and grant permission to see them).

But I'm confused please help.

Andrew

If it's a Component, create a Menu Item to it.
If it's a module, test around with the different locations.

P.S Still looking for help on my issue...


-Ashton

you'll have to go right back to basics on this.

I have the module installed.

How to i get a 'block' of forum content onto the front page? Latest posts for example?

Also why does the main menu disappear when in the forum?

thanks

Andrew
