phpBB Module - Discussions relating directly to the PHP-Nuke phpBB module.
Got to be the worst forum software!
I so wanted to create my site with an integrated forum, so went for phpnuke instead of the likes of Postnuke et al. Now beginning to wish I had gone to Pn!
The site is fine, works really well. But the forum is just about managing to work. The Quick Jump option totally fails, saying "No such file exitss" when it's used. No matter how many html tags we've allowed it still fills the screen with html code in between the words on the posts - and yes I have enabled html coding. I also disabled it but it still posts for instance <strong> </strong> for example when bold is selected.
Also, the login/register block at the top of the forum, just bleow the main forum header only takes members to a page cannot be found link - the URL it points to is not a vaild page. The smilies don't work and this is only the start of it!
If anyone can give me some idea what the hell is going on I'd be very grateful, especially as the actual phpbb.com forum is about as much help as a fart in a space suit! Nobody ever replies to anyone's questions there?
Just installed Nuke 7.7 for the 1st time and.....
had the same problem with the smileys and the html code in my forum.
Delete all cookies ( maybe temp internet files aswell ) exit the site, go back in and try to post.
I still have this problem, but all other visiters/users seem to be ok on the forum, must be somthing to do with the fact im admin or somthing... very odd
Anyway try that tell me if it works.
Hi Alex, tried all that and to no avail. I love the way PHPNuke works, it's excellent, but I am seriously considering dropping the idea as we have over 3000 members and a good 50% of those use the site daily. I can ill afford to disrupt them too much, so may well go back to the idea of a standalone message board from IPB.
I'd sooner get this working though, especially as I had been owrking on the colour scheme for the past two weeks to bring it into line with our club colours.
For the record, I even tried what you suggested on a neighbour's PC with a new username - still no change.
hmm sorry it didnt help, sounds very simler to what i have, but it only affects me no one else.
Hope you solve it soon.
If I find the answer Alex, I'll let you know. That said, I am n ot setting up an IPB forum, very much used to that and I never have problem with it. It's just a shame that I cannot integrate with PHPNuke or use it within a wrapper as can be done with Mambo. One day, all things will be simple.
Thanks for your help anyway, much appreciated. I still have not heard a word from phpBB.com!!
What you are forgetting is that it may be phpBB but it isn't what comes from phpbb.com so they WILL NOT support 3rd party ports or conversions, hence your,

I believe your site is playuppompey, yes?
Right, did you port the template for the forum or did you get it with the nuke theme? whatever way it has been badly ported which is why the error.

You need to open up the jumpbox.tpl within your particular forum template dir and change the form="get" to form="post"
Next issue, also down to bad forum template porting, open up the index_body.tpl also within the forum template dir and remove the coding for the login block on forum main page, it'll look like
| Code: : |
| <form method="post" action="{S_LOGIN_ACTION}"> <table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline"> <tr> <td class="catHead" height="28"><a name="login"></a><span class="cattitle">{L_LOGIN_LOGOUT}</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="row1" align="center" valign="middle" height="28"><span class="gensmall">{L_USERNAME}: <input class="post" type="text" name="username" size="10" /> {L_PASSWORD}: <input class="post" type="password" name="password" size="10" /> {L_AUTO_LOGIN} <input class="text" type="checkbox" name="autologin" /> <input type="submit" class="mainoption" name="login" value="{L_LOGIN}" /> </span> </td> </tr> </table> </form> |
Regards your html problem, I have no idea why it doesn't work but there's no reason why you shouldn't just use bbcode anyway. e.g [b]
