then how on earth has joomla managed to do it? I know a few salting scripts, but none that match joomlas.

Well, Joomla found a way and now it both secure and annoying!

Hi, Might not be exactly what your looking for, but I dropped in and saw what you needed... It may need tweeking, but is this what you wanted? I am semi-concous right now, but It should check to make sure the history is there before allowing it.

Hi there... I am trying to integrate an application database with joomla, which uses MD5+Salt. The app already has MD5, but to let it understand joomla, it needs salt... here is my current md5 code What would I need to do to this to make it think like Joomla? I dontthink adding a regular salt is going to work, I think joomla has it different... I dont reli have a clue, Basically, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know cuzz I just spent a full 2 days wasting my time trying to find an answer. Thanks in Advance.

Yes... That's fine... I think... or at least I hope, that I know what to do... I simply crack open the template php code, then find a line that opens specific modules, then copy and paste that code into Notepad, then modify it to load jooBB instead. But my remaining problem is... I can get JooBB to load properly, i just DONT want the other modules to accompany it. something like this... if { moduleLoad('joobb'); exit(modules(*.*)); } else { // do nothing } I know this aint real code, but you get the idea... I currently have about 5 posts going in all support systems and forums I know, lol. I'd have thought this would have been covered somewhere but turns out JooBB aint that well-known. I give this a go, It would be good if I could kinda get my JooBB to open in a popup/_blank window, this way it stays integrated with user DB, but has all the space it needs at the same time. Anyway, enough of my chatter, cheers for your help... I leave this post open, if I fix this, I post the steps in order to help others. Cyall.

Line 2. What is the code to use? Sorry if I was unclear.

hey... Thanks for that... So, i'm guessing that this script is gunna detect that com_joobb is used on a page and disable the nav menus? what do I use for line 2? PS: Plz dont think I am trying to get you to write the whole thing, I just don't have a clue about PHP scripting. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have tried for about 3 says now and I am just wasting mytime. After looking into the coding, I relized there is no way to do this by editting a single code/page. I need my JooBB forum to open in a page of it's own. My Joomla template would be fine, if only I could remove the Left/Right nav menus on the page(s) that my forum is displayed on. Can anyone please help me cuzz I have no idea what to do. I tried everything I thought would work. The biggest problem is... I cant specify a certain setting, location or file to edit, also, the forum aint built in a iFram, it is directly added to the mainframe of my Joomla Template. I cant even modify the section menu displayers cause it has it's own (Uneditable) section. Whoever made this script surly did this on purpose, cause every way I look at it, it is sealed off. Thanks for any advise you can put forward. I really need this help.

nope... that dont work... I tried that about 3 days ago... BTW, I wernt gunna ask you to write it for me, I just need a little advise. Thanks for your help though... much appreciated.

Hi, I am trying (and nearly finished) to create a template for my joomla CMS. I have found a css problem I CANT fix... the problem is that no matter what style or language I script my styles, I cannot get my header links (id="plinks") to change their style. Here is the style for the "plinks" #plinks { background: url(../images/bg-menu.png); height: 34px; padding-top: 1px; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: verdana; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none; } [/quote] You will probably say there are other styles counter-acting this one, but trust me... I have tried to put this right... Here is my full CSS file...
