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! - Ericka

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

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 [b]mod_fblatest.php[/b] which should be in your public_html/modules directory 3. Find this portion of the code: [b]$forumitemid = $rows[0]->id[/b] 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 - Jeff

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. ;) - fuqaha

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. :) - fuqaha

This is also my problem when clicking the latest post module links of the forum... access is denied. 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! - ray

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. - Andrew
