How to integrate with Joomlaboard?

Benjamin,

Thanks for the correction. Had not seen any info on 1.2 so glad to see that there is something happening with JoomlaBoard. I love the intigration of this board but it seems to lack a lot of things that many other boards have. Hope this is not just a simple security patch, would like to see some real improvements. I don't suppose you have any links to where we might see some info on this release?

Take care,

Hi,

You will find it if you google on "Joomlaboard 1.2"

warmest regards

Hm maybe I'm too stupid, but I can't find it.
Nor with google neither in the sourceforge. There is a joomlaboard 1.2 folder but no file in it.

???

it's not there because its not released yet. It's still in development.

Anyway....

So how do you hack it?

Joomlaboard 1.2 development build is available on the forge for testing but read on for the joomlaboard 1.1.2 hack.

If you want to hack it you need to edit 2 files: view.php and admin.joomlaboard.php

Here's a step by step explanation what you should do.

1. Backup the 2 files first

2. Open view.php and search for the following code around line 487

[code:1]
/*let's see if we should use myPMS2 integration */
if ($sbConfig=="pms" && $fmessage->userid && $my->id) {
//we should offer the user a PMS link
//first get the username of the user to contact
$PMSName=$userinfo->username;
$msg_pms = "<a href=\"" . sefRelToAbs('index.php?option=com_pms&page=new&amp;id='.$PMSName.'&title='.$fmessage->subject) . "\"><img src=\"";
if($sbIcons) {
$msg_pms .= "$mls/modules/mod_sbicons/" . $sbIcons;
} else {
$msg_pms .= "$mls/components/com_joomlaboard/emoticons/sendpm.gif";
}
$msg_pms .= "\" alt=\"" . _VIEW_PMS . "\" border=\"0\" title=\"" . _VIEW_PMS . "\" /></a>";
}

[/code:1]

If you find that code than put the following code behind it:

[code:1]
/*let's see if we should use uddeIM integration */

if ($sbConfig=="uddeim" && $fmessage->userid && $my->id) {
//we should offer the user a PMS link
//first get the username of the user to contact
$PMSName=$userinfo->username;
$msg_pms = "<a href=\"" . sefRelToAbs('index.php?option=com_uddeim&task=new&recip='.$fmessage->userid) . "\"><img src=\"";
if($sbIcons) {
$msg_pms .= "$mls/modules/mod_sbicons/" . $sbIcons;
} else {
$msg_pms .= "$mls/components/com_joomlaboard/emoticons/sendpm.gif";
}
$msg_pms .= "\" alt=\"" . _VIEW_PMS . "\" border=\"0\" title=\"" . _VIEW_PMS . "\" /></a>";
}

[/code:1]


3. Now open admin.joomlaboard.php and go to line 588

replace the following code:

[code:1]
// private messaging system to use
$pmlist = array();
$pmlist[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'no', _COM_A_NO );
$pmlist[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'pms', 'myPMS II Open Source' );
$pmlist[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'pmspro', 'myPMS Professional');
[/code:1]

with this code:

[code:1]
// private messaging system to use
$pmlist = array();
$pmlist[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'no', _COM_A_NO );
$pmlist[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'pms', 'myPMS II Open Source' );
$pmlist[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'pmspro', 'myPMS Professional');
$pmlist[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'uddeim', 'Uddeim');
[/code:1]

You now need to set in the joomlaboard backend your pms settings to uddeIM.

Hope it's usefull if so give me some karma
