Thanks a lot, that did the trick.

Here's another one...

I have set "Automatically reply to topic" to YES  but "Automatically create" to NO, meaning there will not be a forum topic automatically created for each posted news item, unless a user posts a comment to the article.

This works all fine, apart from the fact that the first comment made by a user is considered an initial post and not a reply, which results in the "Comments (X)" shows (0) after the first comment and (1) after the second comment. It's always one number too low.

I guess this is how you've chosen to do by design since it's how SMF returns number of replies, but do you have any suggestion on a workaround to this? I prefer not to have a forum topic created for articles no one has commented.

Thanks.

Never mind. I came to the conclusion that CB is not aaaaall that. A bit too messy and somewhat overestimated if you ask me. Uninstalled it. I'm getting a lot more added value with SMF and its login module. So, thanks for that!

Yes, I know, there's already a number of people requesting a fix on this at joomlapolis' forum. But since there doesn't seem to be any fix planned soon, I was hoping to install manually as a workaround.

The xml file doesn't imply it's that complex to do manually... or am I missing something?

Sorry if it's a st$p$d question... I'm new to joomla.

Hiya,

Looking forward to getting this product up and running, but I have a problem with installing cb_plug_smf_2_0_2.zip since my host is running Safe Mode ON. For normal Joomla components I use the SafeJoomla patch, but since CB has it's own plug-in installer that does no good in this case.

Hence, can you please tell me how to install the JSMF CB plugin manually? I had a look in the smf_cb.xml to see what changes are made, but it only tells me what files are installed - not where they are installed.

Thanks!
