Previous Fireboard Version - 1.0.4
New Fireboard Version - 1.0.5RC2

Steps taken to upgrade:

1. Back up all fb Tables
2. Installed com_fbconverter - No Errors
3. Uninstalled com_fbconverter
4. Unistalled Fireboard 1.0.4
5. Proceeding to follow: FIRST TIME / FRESH INSTALL FIREBOARD 1.0.5 ON JOOMLA 1.0.x
6. Changed view so that the forums all displayed. All were present.
7. Brings us to the issue at hand

As you can see from the image, this topic has several post associated with it. When you click on any of the unread posts, all it does is bring you the topic itself. It does not allow you to read the post associated with it.

I hope this helps.



Sure does. Thx for the info. Your problem has just been identified earlier today in this very same thread:

www.bestofjoomla.com/component/option,co...limitstart,70/#60017

For now flip to flat view and you will be able to access al posts. I will need to code a fix for the threaded view to disable the auto redirect to the paged flat view URLs.

Hi

Either I'm blind because I keep overlooking a configuration option or my lack of experience with Fireboard is causing me this problem.

I cannot view any replies on my forums, logged in or not; it just doesn't work. I'm guessing it's some option that I'm overlooking

Before upgrading I never had an issue like this. Please help!

BTW: My preivew function stopped working, I get an error code generated by the main php file.

Thanks in advance,

For now flip to flat view. I will fix the threaded view option shortly.

Thx!

QUICK FIX for threaded view bug:

In order to fix the threaded view option (disable the SEO auto redirect that causes the issue)

Open /components/com_fireboard/remplate/default/view.php
and edit line 98 (approx) change



to



That will disable the auto redirect to SEO URLs while being in threaded view mode.

I will have to add some extra code in order to make sure any bot (google, yahoo, msn, ...) only gets to see either flat OR threaded but never both. Aside from spamming the search engine with duplicate content, the identical URL format for both display modes creates significant search engine problems as the very same URL in flat view mode will return different content than in threaded view. And since the switch between flat and threaded happens by following a link, no search engine will ever know whether it currently looks at a flat or threaded page.

Hi Again,

I flipped to flat view and this didn't solve the problem for me in IE7, Anyone else have the same problem still?

Firefox doesn't have this issue.

Voitek

Thank you for that code fix for the view.php file!

Voitek

Yep, that did it. Thanks from me TOO!

I had hoped RC2 would solve the issue of user names still showing (see www.bestofjoomla.com/component/option,co...w/catid,77/id,59655/) but I still have that issue
In the category listings the moderator is still shown by username not realname. See nbnm . eu.

This has been fixed and is working. You just need to run Recount Category Statistics after switching from username to real name. All existing posts will get updated to the proper name display.

I tried doing the Recount Category Stats but in the category view I still see my username as moderator of the forums.

If you could point me to where the fix is or where I should try and fix I'd like to have a go at solving this.. I would like to get rid of my username : )

If you are looking for a Dutch translation of v.1.0.5 RC2 in this thread you're in the wrong place.. there right place is where I just posted it:
www.bestofjoomla.com/component/option,co...d,77/id,59634/#60051

BTW I think the definition of _COM_A_FBDEFAULT_PAGE_DESC in the English language file has a typo in it: "Select the default Fireboard page that gets displayed when a forum link is clicked ot the forum is entered initially." I think it should be: 'Select the default Fireboard page that gets displayed when a forum link is clicked or the forum is entered initially.'

Well fireboard looks great, and I used this RC2 as a first install. The component all works, except two pages (on front end) which give a fb_debug.php error - and no, I'm not on MySQL 4.0.

www.rcnews.net/forum.html?func=listcat - forum looks great here

These two pages give the debug error though:

www.rcnews.net/forum.html?func=latest

www.rcnews.net/forum.html?func=mylatest

Very odd.

- MySQL 5.0.32
- PHP 4.4.9
- Joomla! 1.5.7 (legacy enabled)

I have tried multiple FB themes - all same error. Help greatly appreciated

... the auto URL redirect for malformed SEO links that does ......
The problem is that FireBoard uses the exact same URLs for threaded and flat display modes, which are inherently not compatible The flat view uses pages the threaded view does not. Also the threaded view gets out of control on large volume threads, as hundreds of replies lead to very long thread lists on a single page.

how does one disable threaded view option completely ?
by removing the link ? (apart from the backend setting)
i guess there's sthg. i'd need to remove from user configurable options as well, right ?
