same thing

It must have something to do with the change made in the rpc.php file. The change was made to solve the following error when typing in a user and getting an error message in the black bubble that says: "No configuration file found, and no installation code avaliable. Exiting...."

Initial Code on line 38:

Code:

define( 'JPATH_BASE', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] );

Was replaced with the exact code:

Code:

define( 'JPATH_BASE', dirname(__FILE__).'/../../..' );

I'm not a wiz at php by far, that code was taken from baboons suggestion. His post and suggested fix can be found on page 19.

Baboon/TheBroke,

Do you have your J! installation installed in a subfolder? Do you have the forum access level set to registered?

I have this same issue and i havent solved it yet...

On what J1.5? The ORIGINAL hack was not written for 1.5 and the recent hack of the hack is obviously NOT doing what it should. Not surprising since FB and J1.5 do not work properly together.

Looks like this will be hit or miss in this case.

For J1.0.xx just follow the directions.

it seems that rolandd make it work on J1.5...

You don't. I ALSO said that the implementation of the hacked hack would be hit and miss. JUST LIKE installing FB on J1.5. One of the devs THEMSELVES that it does not work correctly on it.

Can someone tell me if it is possible to have a private board, a standard user only able to post and view own posts, and paid users can view all posts?

has anyone solved this? I"m having this same problem on j! 1.5.1

i dont think so... im still having that issue 2
