I don't have specific experience with this module but I can take a look at it this weekend. Your site obviously has erroring set to a higher level than usual. What version of php is your site running?
I rewrote alot of this mambot without a good knowledge of everything it is doing. So can you be my guinea pig and test it out? This is version 1.1. I did some initial testing and it seems to be working well, but since I have not used it before I need to make sure I didn't break any functionality.
Anyone who wants to test it please do, just let me know the results. If they are good I will add it to the downloads.
Ok, doesn't appear to cause any errors directly. (php based ones)
When you link through to the forum, it quotes the original news story. However it gives a [ b ][ /strong ] at the end of the story just before [ /quote ]
The default board entry doesn't appear to work.
Other code comes through that should be stripped away like headers and div.
SMF prefix doesn't work eg: if you wanted 'Articles:' to appear before the forum post, it doesn't happen
If its set to be used by only registed members, then the code shows up when no one is logged in

Have you guys looked at the new discussbot from Chadness? It's got some nice features:
* The ability to automatically add links to all articles. You can also use {mos_smf_discuss:no_discuss} if you have set it up to auto insert and you don't want it to show in a particular item. * The ability to have the link only show on the full article, not on the intro only front page. * The ability to see the posts from the forum at the bottom of the article, with optional parseing of the BB code and smileys. * The ability to have a quick reply box at the bottom of the article to add posts to the forum.
It isn't currently compatible with cowboy's bridge. I talked to chad and he said it only works with joomla-smf some of the time. I tried installing the bot locally through JSAS but no go either... gonna try it on a 'fresh' installation of Joomla.

When you link through to the forum, it quotes the original news story. However it gives a [ b ][ /strong ] at the end of the story just before [ /quote ]I think this is specific to whatever article you were trying to use, maybe the num_chars variable cut the article right in the middle of a [ b ] stmt?
The default board entry doesn't appear to work.Should work now, I was importing the parameters wrong
Other code comes through that should be stripped away like headers and div.I didn't see this, are you looking at the source of the page?
SMF prefix doesn't work eg: if you wanted 'Articles:' to appear before the forum post, it doesn't happenWorks now, just like the other parameters
If its set to be used by only registed members, then the code shows up when no one is logged inI didn't get a chance to look at this. I will do it tomorrow

But there was B in the article I was testing.

SMF prefix doesn't work eg: if you wanted 'Articles:' to appear before the forum post, it doesn't happenWorks now, just like the other parametersWorks, but needs a space char inserted after it for cosmetic reasons.

This ones new: When you discuss an article for the first time. It creates a link back to the original article in the for of a [ url= ] set of bb codes. the mosmsg part needs stripped away, and secondly, you need a parameter to have a more sensible link text in pace of the actual link itself. eg [ url=http://...../ ] Back to article [ /url ] withe the Back to article being the text in the paramter of the bot. Is that do-able?
[ b ][ /strong ] at the end of the article in topic
This was an issue where end tags for elements such as strong, em, strike, ul, and ol were not replaced correctly. This is resolved.
breaks at top of quote
This problem has been resolved. There should be no blank space at top of quoted block anymore.
SMF Title Prefix
Title prefix is appended with ': ' in this version
Discussbot needs to follow permission settings
The bot does follow permissions but when the bot is set to registered or special the string replacement doesn't happen for the {mos_smf_discuss} string. This causes the string to be seen by unregistered users. An unwanted side effect of joomla permissions. I am not sure there is anything that we could do about that.
Return link to article should use Article Title and link name
I added a variable to the configruation to append a given prefix to the link. In the code I use this prefix and the name of the article to construct a readable link back to the article.
Let me know how the testing of this goes. I think we are just about finished.
I just stumbled across this topic and was wondering if you have seen the great improvements chadness has made to the discussbot. I wonder how these features can be made compatible with the joomlahacks bridge. Does anyone know how to solve this?
All I know is the one Wolverine re-wrote works with the joomlahacks version of the bridge.
Some of those features from Chads version are very interesting (like the auto discuss and its opt out option), however I'll stick with this version because I know it works.
