Please download attached file and install. Create a new page with myBB forum content and follow the instructions.

thats what i have done but no instructions follow, only a white page, whats to do?

Hello,

from looking at the code I can only say it seems to be a wrapper for MyBB... But of course you need to have a MyBB Forum installed.

Yours Michael

[syncgw]

Blank page error fixed (see first post).

Yes, it is a wrapper and you have to install myBB.

[maverik]

Due to a limitation in myBB you cannot use the same MySQL table for WebSiteBaker and myBB forum. Additionally, you MUST use the same table name prefix during myBB installation.

does it mean that i must have two databases?  sorry my english is not the best 

now i have one database, tableprefix is mybb and the other prefix for wb

i can reach the mybb admin cp from wb backend but i see only a blank page in frontend

[syncgw]

Yes, there is currently no other solution. You can't put both tables into one database (without prefix), since they partially use same table names. Using a different table prefix is not possible. In myBB definition is currently lost during call to forum. I'll check if I can find any solution to this issue.

That's the reason, why you see a blank page. If you wish to call myBB standalone, you need to add an "exit;" to websitebaker.php plugin in the second row temporary (one task of the plugin is to disables any standalone call to myBB) - or reinstall myBB 

Stay tuned.

Hello.

I think this could be a really nice contribution to this cms.

Looking forward to it.

Kind regards,
Stefek

[maverik]

if i deactivate the plugin the standalone version comes up and when i activate the page is blank. as i said the admin cp from forum i can reach from wb backend.

now i will dump the tables from forum and make a new database with it.

i will report

[maverik]

ok now i have two databases, one for wb and one only for mybb. the same procedure as before, admin cp is reacheable from backend, forum in frontend white page, debug e all strict but no messages

you can look the white page here 

http://template.developer-base.de/pages/mybb.php

[LordDarkman]

[offtopic]I like the design. How you get the white fond color on the wite background?[/offtopic]

[maverik]

white fond color on the wite background?

with very tricki css rules 

[syncgw]

Okay, fixed problem with two databases. I rewrote code to call forum and now there is no more table limitation 

There is no upgrade module required. To use please unpack file to modules/myBB directory. Copy websitebaker.php to your forum plugin directory.

Then try out again. May be there are still some link issues. Please report.

Live long and prosper

CSS:

I use standard myBB tempate and CSS file. The only thing I customized is to disable "body" definition in global.css and "archive/screen.css" to get my background I use in my template.

Maybe we need some more customization. Let's see...

[maverik]

great work so far

i found only one of my templates without css issues http://template.developer-base.de/pages/mybb.php?index.php

login not possible

no more time at the moment, more in the evening

greets from niederrhein

Error for login fixed in 0.13. After unpacking files to "/modules/myBB", go to forum page and click on "save" button to update installation.

I'm now working on registration module. Please send me feedback.

[maverik]

click on "save" button to update installation.

Error copying file "/srv/www/vhosts/mydomain.de/subdomains/template/httpdocs/modules/myBB/myBB/jscripts/captcha.js" to "/srv/www/vhosts/mydomain.de/subdomains/template/httpdocs/modules/myBB/myBB/jscripts/captcha.js.bak"!

[syncgw]

Thank's maverick,

seems you need to enable write acces for your webserver user to the directory where you installed your forum. As you hit "save" button, script is copying a couple of files in "/srv/www/vhosts/mydomain.de/subdomains/template/httpdocs/modules/myBB/myBB/jscripts/" and "/srv/www/vhosts/mydomain.de/subdomains/template/httpdocs/modules/myBB/myBB/inc/". In next step, script is patching a couple of files to fix some path definitions.

The solution to your problem is to enter "chown -R www-usr:www-usr /srv/www/vhosts/mydomain.de/subdomains/template/httpdocs/modules/myBB/myBB/" (www-usr is your webserver user id).

[maverik]

ist it possible to make a german thread too? english is not my language and its very difficult to write feedback for me

[syncgw]

Created German branch to this modul. See here.

[yishay]

Code:

Error copying file "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/modules/myBB/myBB/jscripts/captcha.js" to "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/modules/myBB/myBB/jscripts/captcha.js.bak"!

why?

[syncgw]

Check your file permission settings. You Web server  user id need write access to myBB sub directory

[Yippeekayaye]

Just tried to download this and am getting "Coul't find required myBB file "global.php" in '../myBB/myBB'
Gonna move onto one of the other forum modules for now but I'd still like to try this one out.

[syncgw]

Hi,

if you want to use myBB, you need to store installation in relative directory you specified. In your case I assume WB base directory is /var/www/wb. According to your path, myBB should be located in /var/ww/wb/modules/myBB/../myBB/myBB. During installation, module looks for the myBB file global.php to validate myBB installation.

Solution: Either install myBB in mentioned directory or move your myBB installation to /var/www/wb/modules/myBB/myBB and don't change path name during page "installation".

[nene]

Hello,
Am having the same issue with the installation. I installed just like installing any other module. But when I created a page for it, it kept telling me "Coul't find required myBB file "global.php" in '../myBB/myBB'

Please help with the step by step approach to install.

Regards
Nene
