Chris - have you given any thought to add the functionality to your mod that lets you set different forums for different sections and/or categories in joomla?

Hy Chris,

at first, the Plugins works fine... too fine ;-)

Ive the same Problem like others here, "Spampostings".
Means, every time the Page is refreshed, the Plugin makes a new Forenpost.

Any Idea? Or did you need special Informations?

THANX

Hey, this plugin would be sooo awesome if i could get it to work :P

Any chance of updating this for phpbb 3.0.6?

It sort of works, but gives an error which doesnt go away and constantly posts the thread every time you refresh with the error.

The error is:

Code: Select all
Fatal error: Call to undefined function utf8_str_replace() in /home/xxxx/public_html/forum/includes/db/dbal.php on line 238

Hi there. Im a little stuck on the sql table thingy. Im in phpMyAdmin, but im not really sure where/how to insert this table of yours.

`jos_phpbb_comments` ( `source` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `topic` int(11) NOT NULL default '0' ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Could you explain where to put what?

I've found where to create a new table, but for instance, I dont know how many fields I need etc etc...

Thanks,
Sjulimann from Norway.

[quote="blackheartmachine"]With that fixed I saw Bluegene's description post and thought that that was a good idea so I added this

[code]
$articleDescription = $article->metadesc;
$articleMessage = "Comments thread for [url=" . $articleURLnoslash . $articleLink . "]" . $articleTitle . "[/url]" . "\n" . $articleDescription;
[/code]

At line 104. Now I get a commentbot post with the correct link and the metadata description of the article. I think this could be implemented in the admin back-end as an easy on/off switch.[/quote]

This is great! Just what I needed. Thank you blackheartmachine.

I've modded it just a little bit:
[code]$articleDescription = $article->metadesc;
$articleMessage = "Comments thread for [url=" . $articleURLnoslash . $articleLink . "]" . $articleTitle . "[/url]" . "\n\n" . "In short:\n" . $articleDescription;[/code]

Where 1st tread is looking like this:

____________________________________________________________
Comments thread for Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

In short:
Sed non lectus metus. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Aenean neque neque, blandit et bibendum sit amet, ullamcorper eget augue. Duis vulputate mattis pretium. In eleifend pulvinar arcu, sed lobortis tortor feugiat id. Mauris sagittis nunc sapien. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Integer convallis eros gravida quam tristique id mattis lacus vehicula. Aliquam vestibulum nibh sit amet risus pretium nec venenatis leo blandit. Pellentesque nunc nibh, condimentum in rutrum sed, varius et lacus. Morbi at imperdiet velit. Mauris rutrum, ipsum a posuere facilisis, ipsum nisl euismod mi, id porttitor nulla diam volutpat mauris. Nunc at massa elit. Vivamus tincidunt sagittis quam, eu congue neque congue id. Morbi rutrum velit vitae libero dictum blandit. In vehicula, lacus lobortis rhoncus accumsan, massa libero malesuada magna, et placerat ligula ante eu eros. Quisque at sem non lacus bibendum tristique. Aliquam aliquam laoreet enim, non lacinia ipsum ultrices non. Nunc vitae vestibulum nulla. Phasellus sollicitudin consequat elit id aliquet.

So basically, in 1st thread is posted whole text from your Meta description.

Hi, first time poster long time user of Boylan Comments. Have been using it for quite some time and found it very useful. However I had some problems I fixed/hacked today and thought I'd share.

My Joomla install is in a subdirectory so the commentbot created the wrong links to the articles, i.e www.mainsite.com/subdirectory/subdirectory/article.html.

In order to fix this I added

Code: Select all
   $articleLink = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute(...);
   $articleLink = ereg_replace('subdirectory/', "", $articleLink);
   $articleURL = JURI::base();


At line 101, where subdirectory is the name of the subdirectory Joomla lives in.

With that fixed I saw Bluegene's description post and thought that that was a good idea so I added this

Code: Select all
   $articleDescription = $article->metadesc;
   $articleMessage = "Comments thread for [url=" . $articleURLnoslash . $articleLink . "]" . $articleTitle . "[/url]" . "\n" . $articleDescription;


At line 104. Now I get a commentbot post with the correct link and the metadata description of the article. I think this could be implemented in the admin back-end as an easy on/off switch.

I also changed the comments text to spanish for my site. If anyone's interested in those I'll post them.

Thanks for the great plugin Mr. Boylan and I hope you get the time to keep working on it.

Hi, I am using Boylan Comments in my website, is very useful, and it works perfectly =)
I think it would be interesting for the plugin to post the different section's articles (or categories' articles) of the Joomla Main Page in different phpbb3 forums ^^
Thanks for your fantastic plugin

See you!

Bluegene -

Thanks for your work. I'm finally back from my trip. Give me a couple days to catch up on my work backlog and then I'll fix all these bugs Ive been lazy about. Also, maybe I'll finally install that spam question thing Ive been mentioning. Hopefully then we wont see 30 pages of spam in this thread.

Again, thanks for keep on this.

Chris
