[DirkMa]

Hello,

I have read that it gives problems with the mehdi bridge. Have anyone the mod with joomla 1.5 on work and can me give informations how I can use the mod with joomla.

You'll have to modify the bridge file. I've not used Joomla before... therefore I do not know that bridge. If it looks like most of the others, it's not that difficult to get it going.

Things that need to be added...

Code Select Expand

'notify' => 'enable_admin_email',
'auto_subscribe_post' => 'auto_subscribe_post',
'auto_subscribe_comment' => 'auto_subscribe_comment',
                        'avatar_url' => 'avatar_url'
to the table field names array.
Now find in Joomlas database the header in the users table that refer to eg. notify (something that may enable notification mails to users). Do the same for the other 3 entries.

Here's an example for phpbb

Code Select Expand

'notify' => 'user_notify_pm',
'auto_subscribe_post' => 'user_notify',
'auto_subscribe_comment' => 'user_notify',
            'avatar_url' => 'user_avatar'


Next you'll have to add below the just edited block

Code Select Expand

//mod define Avatar path
define('AVATAR_PATH', $BRIDGE['relative_path_to_config_file'].$BRIDGE['avatar_path'].'/');
define('PM_LINK', $BRIDGE['relative_path_to_config_file'].'pms_send.php?id=');


$BRIDGE['avatar_path'].'/' you replace with the relative path starting from your config file (you've set in the bridgemanager) to the location where avatars get saved by your app

'pms_send.php?id=' you replace with the private message send action of Joomla.

Hello Stramm,

'auto_subscribe_comment' => 'auto_subscribe_comment',
                        'avatar_url' => 'avatar_url'
to the table field names array.

That's ok. I've added it to the bridgemgr.php

Now find in Joomlas database the header in the users table that refer to eg. notify (something that may enable notification mails to users). Do the same for the other 3 entries.

Here's an example for phpbb

Code Select Expand

'notify' => 'user_notify_pm',
'auto_subscribe_post' => 'user_notify',
'auto_subscribe_comment' => 'user_notify',
            'avatar_url' => 'user_avatar'

it's to much, my english to bad (I'm german) and I don't know what you mean. I don't find it in the Joomla Database

Next you'll have to add below the just edited block

Code Select Expand

//mod define Avatar path
define('AVATAR_PATH', $BRIDGE['relative_path_to_config_file'].$BRIDGE['avatar_path'].'/');
define('PM_LINK', $BRIDGE['relative_path_to_config_file'].'pms_send.php?id=');


$BRIDGE['avatar_path'].'/' you replace with the relative path starting from your config file (you've set in the bridgemanager) to the location where avatars get saved by your app

'pms_send.php?id=' you replace with the private message send action of Joomla.

What do you mean with the config file and avatar path?

As said, I do not know Joomla. Therefore I can't help you that much. But I bet Joomla has a database entry for notifications to users. That one you'll need to find.

If Joomla doesn't make use of avatars, then use

Code Select Expand

define('AVATAR_PATH', '');
instead and disable avatars in the config.

As standard there is no avatar sysyem in Joomla but there are many extensions available that add this. The problem is, they all do it slightly differently. For instance, you install Kuena forum and that has avatar support but if you then install Community Builder its avatar system takes over with its own DB entries.
