I guess the question is how are you "linking" to the forum? The installation process adds a menu item named forum. Were you trying to add a separate menu item? Were you adding a "link" or a component?
To do the top only menu you need to disable all left and right oriented modules while the forum is being displayed.
Ok, second answer first cause that sounds easier, how do I do that?
For all the modules you have on your site you need to set the Pages it is displayed on to *NOT* display on the forum. To do this go into the administration and then select Site Modules from the Modules drop down. For all modules that are published you will need to click on it to bring up the parameters. In the settings on the right is a listing of all the menu links on your site under the title "Menu Item Links". You want to deselect Forums. This means in *MOST* cases you will have to select every item *EXCEPT* the forums. Note that selecting ALL will of course display on all pages, including the forums.
Can you add a forum link so I can see what you are describing? Follow these steps:
1| Login to Joomla Administration 2| Click the menu that you wish to add the link to under the Menu drop down 3| Click New in the top left 4| Select 'Component' under 'Components' for the New Menu Item 5| Click 'Next' 6| Type the name 'JoomlaSMF test' for your menu link 7| Select 'Joomla-SMF Forum' for the component 8| Select 'yes' for Published 9| Click Save
Modified version of SMF discussbot by Theodore Hildebrandt. Let's your content articles to be discussed on designated SMF boards. CHANGES: implemented SEF and display bot on the frontpage. USAGE: (1) {mos_smf_discuss} - you must define a default discussion board. (2) {mos_smf_discuss:General Discussion} - "General Discussion" is an SMF board.
Got it off this site.
Default in my case is "Ships Hanger" because its public.
Ok, I definitely see that error. What is this smf discussbot? Sorry, I am just unaware of it.
nevermind, I found it in the remository. Disable that for now. Let's deal with the forum issue. I am not seeing the original error you reported(Undefined index: action in ...../com_smf/smf.php on line 29 and wrapping iss). Are you still receiving this error?
I guess I am really confused. The only time action would be set is if you are already logged in. This error message is not occurring on any of my sites. It is saying that 'action' is not set to anything, which is normal. I have no idea why it complains about that.
I added some code to first check if this variable is not empty before trying to compare it to that string. Try it out.
First backup your original smf.php to smf.php.orig **(this file is located in components/com_smf/)** Then extract smf.php.zip to components/com_smf/
Make sure the name is smf.php Then check the site again and see if you still receive that error message
