Hello,

First, i just wanted to say that you have a very nice component happening here. I upgraded from joomlaboard and it is running nice and looks good.

quick question:

I have hundreds of articles with the old {mos_sb_discuss:2} code. When clicked on, it takes you to the old joomlaboard. I changed it to "fb" and it works fine. How do i make this update on all of the articles without going through every single one individually to change "sb" to "fb"? Possible?

Thanks.

yeah it is work. but install fb disscussbot too. when you add new article use fireboard code {mos_fb_discuss:2}

May be a quick fix for it is to edit the joomlaboard discussbot files to redirect existent joomlaboard discussed articles to Fireboard Forum. Editing the urls on jbdiscussbot.php file might do the trick.

To update existing content -

1. Install the fbdiscussbot and uninstall sbdiscussbot (or jbdiscussbot)

2. Publish fbdiscssbot and enable it in the FB control panel

3. Access your MySQL database, using something like myphpadmin (or perhaps a joomla DB management component?)

4. BACKUP YOUR DATABASE! No responsibility taken if this doesn't work or otherwise screws up your system. Worked fine for me.

5. to update the bot in "intro text" run the following SQL code -

[code:1]
UPDATE jos_content
SET introtext = replace( introtext, 'mos_sb_discuss', 'mos_fb_discuss' );
[/code:1]

to update the bot in the "main body" run the following SQL code -

[code:1]
UPDATE jos_content
SET `fulltext` = replace( `fulltext` , 'mos_sb_discuss', 'mos_fb_discuss' ) ;
[/code:1]

what would be even better if the fb discuss bot recognized both syntax for the jb and fb discussbot.
