Avatar not showing up. anybody else having this issue?

Hi Leo, very sorry for the late reply. The latest version only allows Fireboard avatars, CB avatar is not configured yet due to time limitation.

Avatar not showing up ! grrrr

If I put the module on the front page the module shows on top of the fireboard all the time?

I guess i have to google

anyway I think Its a great mod, will try to figure out what causes this

Hi! Thanks for an excellent hack! Just reviewed the post to see if Sebastians hack was compatible with the integrated Community Builder - to get the users thumbnails. Looks like it's still under way! I'll come back once in a while to have check!

Hello ,

I just installed the FB latest with the avatar funcion- but the avatar function is not working :O
Using Fireboard 1.03Stable

Please feel to email me the latest FB latest! I cant wait for it

Thankfully,

Edward

Community Builder - quick hack. Change the function fblatest_makeavatar() to this:

function fblatest_makeavatar( $userid )
{
global $database;

$basedir = 'images/comprofiler/';
//$userid = 62;
$database->setQuery( "SELECT avatar FROM `jos_comprofiler` WHERE user_id ='".$userid."';" );
$rows = $database->loadObjectList();

if (count($rows) > 0) {
return '';
} else {
return '';
}

}

Im using Fireboard 1.03 stable I installed your latest post module with avatar none are showing up any reason why?(they do show up on forums)

Hi guys! Thanks for your interest.

Ive been terribly busy in the last few months, and also this month (i have an exam next week). Ive started with the CB and better FB avatar option, please wait a lil' longer. Im sorry for the delay.

Thanks.

Hi. great module!! thanks. there just one comment. is it possible not to show the "Re" when someone reply on your post? it is very annoying to see the "Re". thanks..

Sorry for my english but it doesn't work for me, it's seems that i have the older version.
I tried but i can't find the new one with avatar.
i really need it, if qomeone can help me please?

i am looking for a good latest post module.

Got a little problem, wanted to change to only show latest message in active threads but now i got alot of long querys in mysql

Any idea how to get this fixed with a index or something? Takes 5-7 Seonds everytime a user hits the home-site with the module active

SELECT a.id, a.name, a.userid, a.subject, a.catid, a.time AS posttime, c.name AS catname, (a.time > 1195206140 AND a.thread NOT IN (8351)) AS unread FROM mos_fb_categories AS c, mos_fb_messages AS a LEFT JOIN mos_fb_messages AS b ON a.thread = b.thread AND a.time < b.time WHERE b.id IS NULL AND a.catid = c.id AND a.moved = 0 AND c.pub_access

In Fireboard 1.04 when i click Mark All Forums Read, in the Latest Posts Module, it now makes then say all that they are unread.

why would this be happening?

I have fireboard and fblatest module installed on my site... however, only administrators (all three backend levels) can click on fblatest links and be brought to the fireboard posts. All other users are brought to a page saying "you are not authorized to view this resource" -- I do not see any setting in the backend of fblatest that would be creating this restriction. please advise on how to remedy this problem as the fblatest module is one of the key elements of our site, getting people from the front page or other content pages into the forums. Thanks in advance!

I'm using this module, it's great, thanks!
Only problem, (others have mentioned it above) is that an unregistered user will see links to threads in forums for registered users only. So I've had to set 'Show registered access' to OFF for now... Bit of a shame.

It's great mod, Thanks a lot.

Hi guys,

It seems that the problem is with the ItemID. For most sites, everything is fine. But for some others, its not. Can you guys post me the ItemID that works?

Thanks.

Hi! what itemID? please help. cause i cant migrate to fireboard if this problem cant be solve. thanks

I'd like an option to only display 'unread' posts... I'll see if I can figure it out in the code...

Hi ray, it depends on the joomla site itself. Some uses Itemid,59 for their FB link, some just Itemid,2 .. Can you tell mewhat itemid required for non-admin view of FB?

*in case you are using SEF, please disable it temporarily to view the ItemID.

Hi all,

Just solved this problem of the 'not authorized to view this source'.
The problem is due to the link in the module not referencing correctly.

To illustrate, pick the latest post from your forum. Compare the URLs from going through this module and going through your Component link. You notice the "com_fireboard&Itemid=" equal different values. That's the problem. The module refers to the wrong item id.

(ray - itemid can be seen in your URL if your SEF is disabled. Disabling SEF means you can see all the parameters passed thru to retrieve the items from the database, by making them visible in the URL)

SOLUTION (albeit a hack one):
1. Find the difference between your values. E.g. my wrong itemid is 69, when it should be 74. Therefore, the difference is 5.
So What I need to do is 5 to the itemid variable in the module code.

2. Via cpanel or FTP (however you access your website file manager), open the file mod_fblatest.php which should be in your public_html/modules directory

3. Find this portion of the code: $forumitemid = $rows[0]->id
Add 5 after it so the whole lines become: $forumitemid = $rows[0]->id 5;

4. Save the file and reload your website. It should work now.
Compare the URLs to a post between going through the Component link and going through this module, and they will now be the same.

Cheers,
Jeff

Hi again,

With step 3, the solution should now be $forumitemid = $rows[0]->id plus 5;
(the 'plus' should be the maths plus sign i.e. the crosshair, but I can't do it on this post)

Ta.

thanks guy! i'll try it ....

my fb itemid is 137

guys thanks for the help. everything is ok now.

thank you fuqaha for this awesome module!

but i need something. there is an unpublished category in my forum that i use for groupjive special group forums. and i don't want the module to show the posts in that UNPUBLISHED category. how can i manage this?

i will be very glad to learn how-to. thanx

Hello:
My web site have other prefix tables names of database like mos_
can you help me please?
Thanks.

Is it possible to have the title link stay the same as the first
post in the thread's title even if the last post in the thread
changes the title?

For example, if the original post is "Obama vs. Clinton" and
the last post in the thread changes the title to "Democrats
Suck" can we keep the original post title "Obama vs. Clinton"
as the link title?

Thank you!
