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

[Mongoose]

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,
Benson

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?

$mosConfig_live_site = 'http://operafan.net';

SEF enabled

[chadness]

That's very strange.  Why would it be adding the /portal/ to the end of that, if you have your site listed without it?  Do you know where that might be coming from?

Also, could you please try turning SEF off to see if it still happens?

[Benson]

Yes i already solved my problem with turning off SEF - seems like the new htaccess in joomla 1.0.8 is causing many problems. I tested it with the htaccess from 1.0.7 and with this older version it's working.

Benson`s site URL contains /portal/ , not mine.

All became fine, but I need SEF enabled.

Just found out that if i define a default Baord, it does set a link on every content item - i only need the discussion-links for my news-category. Can i define this anywhere or do i really have to call {mos_smf_discuss:News} everytime i need it?

OK, I'm getting the following error:

Code Select Expand

Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/SSI.php) is not within the allowed path(s):
(/home/{username}:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in
/home/{username}/public_html/{joomladir}/mambots/content/smf.discussbot.php on line 32

With J! 1.08
SMF 1.1 RC2
Bridge 1.13 (shiny and new )

My path to SMF in the bridge seems to be correct (it works!), yet it doesn't seem to be being added to the discussbot path (thus the basedir error I'm guessing).

Any ideas?

[Kindred]

no... it is likely that the discussbot will NOT work with 1.1.3 of the bridge. The bridge config file that it is looking for to find the variable values no longer exists...

I am in the process of updating the release dversions of mods and bots to properly use the new setup for the bridge.

[robbievk]

Any news on the update kindred?

Any news about a version which will be compatible with Orstio's new bridge???

[chadness]

I hope to be able to work on this over the next couple of weeks.

[LazyBum]

anyone know why my site's page goes blank after i put in the discuss bot code in the template? It won't even load...im pretty sure i put it in right. i put:

<?php ob_start('output');$buffer = ob_get_contents();ob_end_clean();$buffer = str_replace('<input type="hidden" name="sc" value="" />','<input type=hidden name="sc" value="'.$sc.'">', $buffer);echo $buffer;?>

right after my </html>

The problems some of you are seeing where your site links are broken (example: http://www.mysite.com/http://www.mysite.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,43/) is a known problem in joomla v1.0.8 that also effected mailto links.  It has been fixed for version 1.0.9.

There is a temporary fix found here:
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php?topic=41377.0

I have a problem too though.  If I publish this bot, my whole site scrambles.  I have three colums (left, user, right).  When this bot is published, everything from the left and right colums shows up under the user colum.

I've read a ton of posts trying to figure out why.

I'm using joomla v1.0.8 with SEF on (I tried off but no help)
Joomla-SMF bridge v1.1.02 (joomlahacks)

Any help would be appreciated.

Actually, it works with 1.1.3 and SMF 1.1RC2. However, it doesn't work with Joomla 1.0.8.

Sounds like a great mod, Chadness. However, when I click the download link, I get:
'Your session was not validated and anti-leach measures are in effect. ' Clicking the main Repository link gives me the same error.

Anywhere else I can get it? I'm running Orstio's shiny new 1.1.3 and Joomla 1.07.

no... it is likely that the discussbot will NOT work with 1.1.3 of the bridge. The bridge config file that it is looking for to find the variable values no longer exists...

i managed to get it to work by hacking smf.discussbot.php. i commented out line 32:

Code Select Expand

/* require_once ($smf_path."/SSI.php"); */

my configuration:
- Mambo v4.5.3h
- SMF 1.1 RC2
- SMF/Mambo Bridge 1.1.4
- Mambo template Blue 247 Shock v453 (fwiw)

edit: i also had to comment out lines 332 and 333, as parse_bbc() was unknown:

Code Select Expand


/*
if ($discuss_parse_bbc == 1)
    $postmessage = parse_bbc($postmessage);
*/


if i'm missing the bigger picture here, someone please let me know.

[Benson]

That doesn't work, if you use e.g. the latest post module it will display errors after those changes - and at all, commenting out the line with SSI.php isn't a good idea...

I just tested it and it's working fine.  Try again?

Essentially what you are doing is making it like the Beta 5 version.  You can just install beta 5 if you are having layout problems.  It should only be an issue with people running other SMF mods such as recent topics.

*bump*

still missing this mod since my update to the latest bridge... if you don't have the time to fix it, could you at least lead us what to change or look for to make this mod working again?

Benson
