Using phpBB as your Joomla Comments Engine

Well, I am now getting the same error as Nuke:

Warning: include(./default/config.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/1/t/trommeforum/www/joomla2/plugins/content/boylan-comments.php on line 64

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening './default/config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/1/t/trommeforum/www/joomla2/plugins/content/boylan-comments.php on line 64

And yes, the path is set to ./forum/

NEW RELEASE - VERSION 0.21!!!

As some people have pointed out, there was a problem with 0.2, so I've fixed it (I think) and released 0.21, available in the article. One stupid mistake was found. Please try this one out to see if I've broken anything else.

Thanks,

Chris

Still one issue with module on index page. RokContentRotator module is posting short news. In this module are some articles (very short news), when Comment plugin adds "Post a comment", page is not loaded fully after this. If I can exclude Section or Category from being scanned by Comment plugin, think it would solve issue.

Chris, please see ppt I've send you.

Got it. Selecting by section and category will be added when I create a component for this plugin, which will be shortly, I hope.

That being said, I'm still not completely sure why that is happening. It may be a CSS issue. Have you tried publishing the plugin with CSS to hide it? Something like:

.boylanComments {display:none;}

in your CSS file? If that fixes things, then this is a CSS problem and can be fixed easily.

Or, is the plugin somehow halting the output of the rest of your page? Does the HTML just cut off at that point?

Hi,

Just to answer your questions:

- HTML code - I don't think that here is HTML cut off, because I can see complete HTML code of index.php in my Web browser (HTML source).

Here is part of HTML where issue occurs:

<div class="rok-content-rotator"><div class="rotator-2"><div class="rotator-3"><div class="rotator-4">
<ul>
<li>
<h2><a class="rok-content-rotator-link" href="#">An Incovenient Truth</a></h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="slide4"> <div class="rotator-demo-text"> <span class="rotator-demo-header">An Incovenient Truth</span> <span class="rotator-demo-desc">Neugodna istina koja je potresla svijet</span> </div> </div><div class="boylanComments"><a href="/./forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=97">Post a Comment</a...
</div>

</li>
<li>
<h2><a class="rok-content-rotator-link" href="#">Viđenje iznad Kabula</a></h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="slide3"> <div class="rotator-demo-text"> <span class="rotator-demo-header">Kabul</span> <span class="rotator-demo-desc">NLO viđenja u Afganistanu su postala već svakodnevnica ali su i dalje misterija.</span> </div> </div><div class="boylanComments"><a href="/./forum/viewtopic.php?...
</div>
</li>
<li>
<h2><a class="rok-content-rotator-link" href="#">Iluzija na obali Kine</a></h2>

<div class="content">
<div class="slide2"> <div class="rotator-demo-text"> <span class="rotator-demo-header">Nevidljivi grad</span> <span class="rotator-demo-desc">Tisuće turista i lokalnih građana osvjedočili su iluziju grada.</span> </div> </div><div class="boylanComments"><a href="/./forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=99...
</div>
</li>
<li>
<h2><a class="rok-content-rotator-link" href="#">Izgubljeni gradovi Marsa</a></h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="slide1"> <div class="rotator-demo-text"> <span class="rotator-demo-header">Mars</span> <span class="rotator-demo-desc">Objašnjenje najnovijih MRO fotografija koje pokazuju umjetne strukture na Marsu.</span> </div> </div><div class="boylanComments"><a href="/./forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1...
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div></div></div></div>

Notice this title: "An Incovenient Truth" and this title "Viđenje iznad Kabula" - these are first two articles shown in this module - rok-content-rotator. Other 2 articles are not shown in index.php.

When I add: .boylanComments {display:none;} into my CSS, Boylan Comments are not shown at all (plugin is published), and index page is still shown cut off.

bluegene, can you attach the complete HTML source of that page to this topic?

Thanks,

Chris

Pls see attach (index.php source code with Boylan Comments turned OFF and ON).

If you wanna, I can give you admin account so you can check it out.

Hey chris, loving the comment system... I am just wondering if you have plans on adding some sort of a comment preview coming... I currently choose your Alpha release over a paid version JOMComment... my site is http://www.ijockz.com I am so glad you finally have a partially working model of the system out.

Hi chris! How are you??

I see the new version.. I try immediately and I give you the results of new version :D :D

thanks

I King-Nothing
I don't have try just the plugin, but in the week-end I try it.

I resolve to assign a admin access to the User Comment bot.

Whit this modification it works good.

bye

Well...I thought that my english was bad, but that post didn`t really clear things up. Can anyone "translate"? :P

Chris: Have you had a chance to look further into my issues?

King - not yet. I ended up having a much bigger St. Patrick's Day celebration than I thought.

Have you tried using a different user for the comments? A "commentbot" of sorts?

And I think Floppy was saying he's gonna try it out this weekend.

Well, it is my user which is doing the posting, so there shouldn`t be a problem with permissions.

I tried to use another user, but it didn`t help. I`ll try it again...

Tried with a new user and with moving the joomla-install to the root-directory, but that didn`t do the trick either. :(

Please write me back whenever you`ve had a chance to look at it again. :)
