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.

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

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

a second "Problem" i found

we use the "read more..." Button for pur Article...

Now my Question, is there a way to post the Link only under the FULL Text? Not in the "Preview"?

Thanks a lot

ok, ive solved my "Spam"-Problem....

i use 2 DB, 1 for Joomla, and one for PHPBB

I create the table in the PHPBB Database, based on Chris Hint, all the DB Aktion aperars on PHPBB....
After i create the Table in Joomla DB all works fine for that.

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?
