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

[Kindred]

as I understand it, several people have vbeta5 working with bridge 1.1.4

[Mongoose]

I have 4.1 final working with Bridge 1.1.4 here with no problem.

[ChaosEnergy]

how did you get it working?

[Mongoose]

I don`t now. I did`t do anything serious. Just install the new bridge.
And what kind of problems have you? Maybe I solved them, but it didn`t worth to me.

[ChaosEnergy]

wrapped forum is gone

and main page looks like this

Warning: require_once(/SSI.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/web/mambots/content/smf.discussbot.php on line 32

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/SSI.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/web/mambots/content/smf.discussbot.php on line 32

As Kindred said, use beta 5.  The conifguration file that the final version needs i no longer there, as of version 1.1.3 of the bridge.If Mongoose upgraded from an earlier version, he still has that config file, so it might still be working for him because of that.

now my site does not get broken
but

all the links on the webpage look lile this
http://chaosempire.info/web/javascript:send_form(81)

what did i missed in configuration?

Hwow to enter the default board, lin´k or board name
i used board name: News + Events

€ added joomla 1.08 fixes...

Ok, so i tried beta5 - but this doesn't work if you have another module installed, e.g. in my case the latest topics module gives me a warning about another active session:

Code Select Expand

database error: Table 'portal.messages' doesn't exist
Datei: /var/www/www.mydomain.com/content/portal/smf/SSI.php
Zeile: 352database error: Table 'portal.sessions' doesn't exist
Datei: /var/www/www.mydomain.com/content/portal/smf/Sources/Load.php
Zeile: 1886
Warning: Unknown(): A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time. in Unknown on line 0

Sadly i need to run that module AND the discussbot at once, so using beta5 is no solution for me...


@ChaosEnergy: This is a knwon problem with Joomla 1.0.8, check this post:

the discussbot works after the 2 joomla 108 patches..but when i m in forum, and click a personal message in mlink list..it doesnt go to message anylonger..already have had similiar things moth ago..after installing some smf modules

seems that this list is still somewhat critical..

Hello there. I've installed the discussbot 4.1 final over my joomla - smf 1.1.4 bridge and after I commented two lines that someone said before, everything works just fine.
The only prob that i have is that when comments have taken place to some article, noone can comment that article. The url is all messed up.
e.g.

http://www.theworld.gr/forum/http:/ [nofollow]/www.theworld.gr/action=post&topic,%3Cimg%20border=

to just view the board concerning an article. When I try to reply to an article that it has already been answered the url i get is something like this

http://www.theworld.gr/forum/action,post2 [nofollow]

and after that when i hit reply I get this

http://www.theworld.gr/forum,/www.theworld.gr/forum/action,post2/start,0/board,65 [nofollow]

Any ideas?

[chadness]

That's discussed three posts above the post you read that had you comment out a couple of lines.  Though I suggest using 4.1 beta 5 instead of commenting out those lines, but ah well.

The problem you are running in to is a Joomla problem - check here for a solution:
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php?topic=41377.0

I'm not sure, but this fix Orstio posted to solve the same problem in emails may resolve it as well:

I did tried that Chad, but there was a problem displaying the number of comments in the main page. (meaning while there were comments, under the article the number was still (0) )
As far as i can understand, you suggest to replace sef.php from 1.0.7 version of joomla (not the mossef.php), and/or run the query that Ostrio suggests, right?
Thanx in advance for your time

EDIT: I've replaced the sef.php file from 1.0.7 version and the problem persists: I commented an article and then the link in my main page was this

http://www.theworld.gr/forum/http:/ [nofollow]/www.theworld.gr/action=post&topic,<img%20border=

[Panagioths]

hxxp:www.theworld.gr/forum/http:/ [nonactive]/www.theworld.gr/action=post&topic,<img%20border=

Same problem here 

[Acirav]

so I have tried every mosSEF patch i could found but still my discussbot links are like http://[website]/[joomla]/http://[website]/[joomla]/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=2
I have Joomla 1.0.8 and SMF 1.0.7
so it would be very nice if someone could outline why this can occur and all possible fixes in one post. because it is really annoying if you have to read through a 13 sites long topic with a lot of links to other topics and in these topics are also other links to possible solutions but in the end you don't get it fixed

[Kindred]

for the last time...   there is no official path or code change that will get mosSEF working with the bridge...   especially not the 3.19a bridge.

I finally figured out what's going on.
Inside smf.discussbot.php there is the code which defines the link that it must be created. This is :

Code Select Expand

'action=post&topic,'
which generates a link

Code Select Expand

http://www.theworld.gr/forum/index.php?action=post&topic,1254.new#new
which is invalid, while in order for the discussbot to work properly, this must be

Code Select Expand

'action=post;topic='
which generates the proper url

Code Select Expand

http://www.theworld.gr/forum/index.php?action=post;topic=1255.new#new

I hope I helped

I am using joomla 1.0.8, SMF 1.1 RC2 and the beta5 discussbot.

Yesterday it seemed to work fine, but today I added some more news articles and the comment link doenst work?

Have a look here: http://t7r.bnext.nl and try to click the comment image on an article with 0 posts.

Anyone know whats going on here?

[astrolabos]

Seems like a javascript problem. Why don't you try to reinstall the joomla patch for javascript links? I suppose that you have sef enabled in joomla and the forum's sef disabled, right?

[VTX]

Yes, fix for javascript links? Gonna search for it! Thanks!

[VTX]

Sorry to ask, but can you point me to the fix you're talking about? I find several things, but I dont think I found the good fix?
