Joomla - JooBB. PLEASE HELP!!

[PcGeniusProductions]

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.

if you just want to hide the extra columns when looking at the Forum, you can edit your template

 

if ($_REQUEST['option'] != com_FORUM) {

mos display column(forget exact code)

}

 

if you approach with an open mind and remain persistent then you can always figure out a way to accomplish your goal

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.

line 2??

[PcGeniusProductions]

if ($_REQUEST['option'] != com_FORUM) {

mos display column(forget exact code)

}

 

 

Line 2.

What is the code to use?

mos display column(forget exact code)

 

Sorry if I was unclear.

can't remember off the top of my head,

 

it's the same mos command used to load the module location you want to affect

 

something like mosLoadMod ( 'right' ) {this is not correct but it's close}

 

check your template index.php for the specific line,

 

if you need help getting it done send me a PM and I can alter the template, have to charge a little for the time though

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.
