Joomla! Web Hosting

Discussbot - Getting Started PDF Print E-mail

Ok, there's been a lot of people with issues getting the bot to work with SEF.  There's too many for me to investigate each one so here's how I installed it on a fresh and clean Joomla 1.5 installation.  I will try to outline every little detail and make a note of everything that I can think of.

Starting at the very beginning you need a decent and current hosting environment.  Here's the pertinent info from my Joomla System Info page:

Database Version:        5.0.51a-community
Database Collation:     utf8_general_ci
PHP Version:     5.2.5
Web Server:     Apache
Web Server to PHP interface:     cgi
Joomla! Version:     Joomla! 1.5.7 Production/Stable [ Wovusani ] 9-September-2008 23:00 GMT

Entries in configuration.php that may affect your installation:

$live_site = 'http://www.yoursite.com/demosite/';
    Or
$live_site = 'http://www.yoursite.com/';

I've installed the following versions of various Joomla!1.5 extras:

 Components
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 fireboard        Enabled       1.0.5RC1
  (sh404)sef        Enabled       1.3.8
 
 Plugins
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 ObjectClarity Fireboard Discussbot       content      1.0.8c
 
In Plugins Manager:
    Make sure that you have the System Legacy plugin published.  This is a requirement for all current versions of Fireboard.

In Site -> Global Configuration I have the following:
    Search Engine Friendly URLs  ------->  Yes
    Use Apache mod_rewrite  ------->  No
    Add suffix to URLs  ------->  Yes
 
In Components -> sh404SEF -> sh404SEF Configuration I have the following:
    Enabled  ------->  Yes
    
    
In FireBoard Administration
    You will need to enter at least two levels.  One category and one child category to be used as a forum for posts.
    Make sure they're both published.  Create a test Post from the Fireboard front-end to be sure it's working.
    While you're making your test post, make a note of the catid (look at the URL) of the forum you're posting to.
    
In FireBoard Configuration
    Enable the Discuss Bot  ------->  Yes
    
In the Plugin Manager Edit the ObjectClarity Fireboard Discussbot.  Make sure your bot is published and that your settings look like the settings selected below:
Note that I've set "Auto FB Category Id" to the catid that we got from our test post in FB.
