Discussbot version 4.1 final (released 11-28-05)

[rastamate]

Well... Beta5 didn't work out neither....
It still says 'Artikel not found'...

And nearby the bot causes about 100 errors on W3C Validation just when it is installed....

So we cannot use this unfortunately.

Badnews chadness...

With beta5 my com_smf_registration related sites wont open. I get that same blank page =/

[MisterT]

I installed it (beta 7) on my server and all worked fine...

Config:
======
Joomla 1.0.7
SMF 1.1RC2
Joomla-SMF bridge 1.1RC1

I made all my configuration with Firefox as web client.

And suddenly, I tried Internet Explorer
====> PANIC ! 

All my site pages could never be displayed totaly... It was reloading, and reloading endlessly...

After long investigation (and even unpublishing this bot: that didn't change my problem), it seems that the following code is not accepted by IE when initiated from my web server:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
var smf_formSubmitted;
function submitonce(theform)
{
   smf_formSubmitted = true;
}

function send_form(form_id)
{
   document.getElementById(form_id).submit();
}

function submitThisOnce(item)
{
   // Hateful, hateful fix for Safari 1.3 beta.
   if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('AppleWebKit') != -1)
      return !smf_formSubmitted;

   for (var i = 0; i < item.form.length; i++)
      if (typeof(item.form) != "undefined" && item.form.tagName.toLowerCase() == "textarea")
         item.form.readOnly = true;

   return !smf_formSubmitted;
}
// ]]></script>

I don't understand why...
I had to remove that wonderful bot (because 80% of my users are IE users), and that makes me sad...

Any suggestion ?

P.S.: it is quite strange that the fact of unpublishing the bot from the backend interface does not remove this code insertion in all pages... (I had to rename smf.discussbot.php file for that...)

[JustJa]

To Grodden and HDH both (for question #1) - are you using SEF URLs?  If so, have you tried it with those off?

I had it on just on SMF. Turned off, but nothing changed...

You're both using versions (Mambo 4.5.3h and Joomla 1.1) I haven't tested with at all, so if I get some time I'll try to install those and see if it works for me.  Actually, with the Joomla Alpha, I'm surprised the bridge works at all.  Grodden, your issue may be with the separate databases, but I'm still looking in to that.

I would be glad to provide you even more information, maybe an access to the backend?

Thank you!

My Config:
========
Joomla 1.0.7
SMF 1.1RC2
Joomla-SMF bridge 1.1RC2 ver 3.20
==========
when i upgraded from  Joomla 1.0.7 to 1.0.8
Discussbot has started to generate incorrect links to the new comment
"hxxp:195.46.125.3/ravnovesie/guner/joomla/javascript:send_form(13) [nonactive]"
instead of "javascript:Xxwc();send_form(13)"

[JustJa]

Isn´t it anyone else that had the same troubles as I do? and got it fixed  ??

[neonmech]

Joomla 1.08
SMF RC1
Bridge, Not really sure how to check.. sorry

I get this error the second I install the mod:

Code Select Expand

Database Error: Table 'funkytaru.log_online' doesn't exist
File: /home/content/n/a/m/name/html/funkytaru/data_launch/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 2421Database Error: Table 'funkytaru.sessions' doesn't exist
File: /home/content/n/a/m/name/html/funkytaru/data_launch/Sources/Load.php
Line: 1877
Warning: Unknown(): A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time. in Unknown on line 0

It occurs in both the Recent posts, and who's online mods.

I tried installing a the previous version of this mod but I got 404 errors while I click the link to the comments.

Also, I know Im supposed to add a line of code to the end of my template but I just wanted to verify, where exactly do I add the code? Does it not really matter? Adding it right above the closing body tag of the index.php file is fine?

[chadness]

If you have any SMF modules present that call SSI, such as recent posts, you will get those errors and need to use beta 5.

That line of code can go anywhere at the bottom - generally I put it between the </body> and the </html> tags.

I'm working on a re-write for this that will hopefully help with a lot of peoples' problems.

Thanks for the quick reply. one more quick question for you.

for refference my Joomla install can be found here:
http://www.angryoaf.com/funkytaru/data_touchdown/
Direct link to the forums here:
http://www.angryoaf.com/funkytaru/data_touchdown/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=28

Now when I used the Beta 5 version, I kept getting a 404 error when I clicked a comment link from a news item.
On my forum index there is a board called "announcments" and a child board called "Discussion".
I want the news topics to default to the Discussion board. Am I correct in assuming that I put "Discussion" in the default forum input field?
If not, please tell me what I should be putting there to get it to work.
If I am following the correct procedure, do you have any idea why I might be getting a 404 (file not found) error when I click a link in a news item?

(I think I should state for the record that I have no idea if the link would work if the discussion thread already existed. )

Thanks again for the help, Cheers~

[chadness]

Yes, you would put in Discussion, just like you are doing.

What URL is the link pointing to that isn't working?

[neonmech]

It is posting to:
http://www.angryoaf.com/funkytaru/data_touchdown/javascript:send_form(107)


Go ahead and check the front page again:
http://www.angryoaf.com/funkytaru/data_touchdown/

I enabled the mambot so that you will be able to see what's happening.

[chadness]

Strange - it should be running that javascript, not creating a link like that (you can disable it again now, thanks).  Does javascript work otherwise on your site?

[neonmech]

Yes, it usually runs with no problem at all.

Hi Chadness 
Did you have time to look at my problem?

You're both using versions (Mambo 4.5.3h and Joomla 1.1) I haven't tested with at all, so if I get some time I'll try to install those and see if it works for me.  Actually, with the Joomla Alpha, I'm surprised the bridge works at all.  Grodden, your issue may be with the separate databases, but I'm still looking in to that.

[chadness]

Unfortunately, no.   I've been really pressed for time lately.

[JustJa]

Ok I understand...
Its horrible that a day only has 24 hours isn´t it?

I have problem with links after upgrade to joomla 1.0.8

the new comments link add http://underlinux.com.br/javascript:send_form(5827)

anyone knows how to resolve this problem

[neonmech]

I have almost the same exact problem.

[magmf]

Temporary solution to joomla 1.0.8 problem

well i put back my old sef.php and resolved my problem

If you have problems with your joomla 1.0.8 just downgrade your includes/sef.php to joomla 1.0.7 version.

[]'s

[magmf]

Now i discover one problem with joomla cache system...

If cache is enable  discussbot create many topics in forum from same content.
