[ReveEtrange]

Hi,

For authorization errors with discussbot beta 5 and joomla 1.0.8, add sth like code below at line 56 in file "mambots\content\mossef.php":

Code Select Expand


// disable bot from being applied to JS tags
if (strpos($matches[1],'javascript:') === 0) {
return 'href="'. $matches[1] .'"';
}


HTH,

-RE

I don´t have this file... mossef.php?!?!?

[ReveEtrange]

Do you have joomla 1.0.8?

[JustJa]

Nop it is Mambo...
000=====
By the way, I have SMF RC1 installed and the bot was having those problems I mentioned before, but now I got RC2 on another directory, with another database and it looks like it is working!
At least it created the posts i tryed before...
The only problem is that I don´t know wich steps should I take to make the RC2 take the place of RC1. Should I uninstall the bridge on the portal? (Hope not..)
Please help me  to solve this one 

[Kindred]

change the directory for smf in the bridge config.

[JustJa]

Oh it can´t be true... 
Now that I chnaged the directory it came back to the old error:

An Error Has Occurred!
The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you. 

[JustJa]

I have updated to the last bridge now.
I still cannot use the bot, plus, when it is unpublished, the background of my portal turns white?!?!
But if I publish it come normal again, but it comes that odd message 
Helpppp!

my discussbot is working... but when i enable cache on joomla
they cache discussbot links .. and i really dont want this...
is there something i can do to joomla do not cache discussbot links

Same problem.
I set shorter Cahe time in Admin panel/General/Cache as temporary solution, but I don't like it.
Help!

[JustJa]

Now I have the link working!
It is on each and every article on my forum, BUT:
The link is not showing on the first paragraph, only on the end of the article, and the gif file is not appearing.
Strange thing is that it is showing everywhere, even where I did not insert {discussobot:board}, also on a rating component... It is cool, but I would like to have control on the way it is being shown...

[Kindred]

Grodden,

If you added a "default" board to the discussbot setup, it will insert into every content object.

you can either add the no_discuss code into each content object that you don't want discussed...  or you can leave the default board blank, and insert the specific discuss code into content that you do want discussed...

Chadness...

if you modify this bot again (like for the next birdge version), you might take a look at the AkoComment component to allow specification about what groups of content items get the bot...  (for example, the bot adds itself to the BookMark items... lol)
AkoComment allows you to define what sort of content gets the bot applied (i.e. news and FAQs, but nothing else...  etc)

[JustJa]

Now I have controll on where the bot should be, thanks!
How about the position? Why do you think it doesn´t show on the frontpage?
It just shows if you click on the read more, in the middle of the text...

Plus the gif.. it doesnt even show the broken image this time...

When i click onto a Discuss-Link, i get an error:

Code Select Expand

The requested URL /portal/http://www.mydomain.com/portal/index.php was not found on this server.

The url in the addressbar of my browser looks like this after klicking on the discuss-link:

Code Select Expand

http://www.mydomain.com/portal/http://www.mydomain.com/portal/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=43

I'm using SMF 1.1rc2, Joomla 1.0.8 (with fix mentioned some posts above).

cheers,

Do you have these set to yes:
"Do you want to use an image in the discussion link in your content articles?"
"Do you want default discussion links to show on the front page?"

Also, for them to show up on the front page if you aren't using a default discussion board, the bot will need to be in the into section of your article, since that is the only part that shows up on the front page.

Good idea!  I thought I had already hda a check in there to make sure it is the right kind of content, but I guess not.

Very strange.  What is $mosConfig_live_site in your configuration.php file set for?  Does it have the http:// in front of it?

Are you running with SEF on or off?

[JustJa]

Do you have these set to yes:
"Do you want to use an image in the discussion link in your content articles?"
"Do you want default discussion links to show on the front page?"

What a shame!
Sorry for being blind! Thank you so much for your patience, it is working!
And I´m soooo happy 

[chadness]

I'm happy it was that easy!
