TOPIC: mmsblog plugin?

Sorry somehow missed the post back then.
Your problem is marked as bug and will be fixed in version 4.0

Can you try it with this plugin?
It is working only with joomla 1.5

Hi Daniel!

I have installed joomlaComment 4.0 alpha3 on my Joomla 1.5.10 and manualy the PlugIn from this post, and also MMS-Blog 2.2.1.

Why must i activate the PlugIn?
I have no Comment Button in MMSBlog.

Thanks!

why or how to active it?

I do not know.

But everything is copied and activated, but do not advertise for a comment in mmsblog
In normal joomla content seems to comment on.

So I do not know yet what I should do?

Open the mmsblog plugin folder and look for the file josc_com_mmsblog.php.
At the begginig of the file you will see this comment:

/*
* include the following instructions :

<!-- START joomlacomment INSERT -->
<div class="dm_description" style="text-align:center; vertical-align: bottom;">
<?php
global $option;
require(JPATH_SITE."/administrator/components/com_comment/plugin/$option/josc_com_mmsblog.php");
?>
</div>
<!-- END OF joomlacomment INSERT -->

* at the end of the following file :
* components/com_mmsblog/views/item/tmpl/default.php
*
* HTML part of the code can be changed ! according to the theme...
*/

Did you do this?

yes, I have in the file default.php
bottom afteradded.

But there is no comment box

did you configure mmsblog in joomlacomemnt-> other component settings?

yes, I have added.

then I will need to check it myself. Can you provide me with super admin access to your website?

I have send you a PM.
Thank you verry, veryy, veryy much

Did you get this working?

Ok, I just test it on my dev. environment.
Joomlacomment alpha3 + mmsblog 2.3.0 final.

What I had to do is to add:
at the end of components/com_mmsblog/views/item/tmpl/default.php

I also configured the mmsblog plugin in backend->components->joomlacomment->other components settigns and it is working out of the box.

Ok, I just found that there is a bug in the plugin.

When you configure it in the backend and you choose a category to be included - its id is not saved and this makes the plugin display nothing. I will have to look for that. In the mean time - exclude is working, but for all categories.

Ok, I just fixed that. We were saving the right category id, but mmsblog was giving us only the category title. That was making the check if cat is in the include list impossible.

The bugfix is added to this post and also to beta1 com_mmsblog-ec07598f8d54f75f9c530f535a9a576a.zip

Hi Daniel --
I think I have tried exactly what you have said but with no success. I am running Joomla 1.5.12, joomla comments 4.0 beta1 and mmsblog 2.30 final. Let me know if your code works with these versions.
After reading several posts -- I think I cam confused and need some clarifications.
One of the post -- they mentioned that we need to change code in two places on in itemtmpdefault.php and other in mmsblogtmpldefault.php. Does this still holds?
The number of files -- earlier version of plugin for com_mmsblog has three files and the one in the above link has two files. I tried both ways. Using files in the above link I could
configure mmsblog in joomlacomemnt-> other component settings?
Could you please let me know if I am doing anything wrong? Thank you very much..

I have the same problem with beta2 and MMS Blog 2.30. I believe I've done all the necessary steps and still no comments on my MMSBLOG.

Searching for forum help reveals that a lot of others seem to have same problem.

The beta2 mmsblog plugin doesn't include installation instructions, and users downloading the plugin certainly don't realize if something extra is needed or not, and even if they did know it might be needed, it's pain to find up-to-date instructions and once you do find them you're puzzled... is this outdated as the beta2 is out already and the instructions were written way earlier... just do a quick search to see how many people have asked the same questions over and over again...


DO WE NEED THIS (as it doesn't really seem to help I need to ask)?

<!-- START joomlacomment INSERT -->
<div class="dm_description" style="text-align:center; vertical-align: bottom;">
<?php
global $option;
require(JPATH_SITE . "/administrator/components/com_comment/plugin/$option/josc_com_mmsblog.php");
?>
</div>
<!-- END OF joomlacomment INSERT -->

And do we put it where exactly? components/com_mmsblog/views/item/tmpl/default.php or components/com_mmsblog/views/items/tmpl/default.php, admin or public side or... perhaps as this person has done, here ? At least he sees something...

changing include to exclude doesnt help either...

components/com_mmsblog/views/item/tmpl/default.php this is the right place and yes you need to put the above code there.

well, like I said, it doesn't work: adding the code above to [joomla site root]/components/com_mmsblog/views/item/tmpl/default.php causes a blank screen when you click a link pointing to a MMSBLOG image.
