TOPIC: Installation issue

So I just installed joomlacomment on my 1.5.2 site. I have very high hopes for it!

I'm having a fairly major issue at this point that I'm hoping you can help me with. When I type in a comment, and put in the correct captcha code, then click send, I see the little spinning arrows for a second, but it just goes back to my comment entry, and the comment doesn't look like it's inserted in the database.

It looks like everything is installed properly; I see all the directories in the components directory, and the tables got created. So, I'm just not sure where we could be going wrong here.

Also, another minor issue is that the labels for all my fields are white on white, so I can't read them. Any idea there?

Any help would be appriciated. Thanks in advance!

What do you mean with "it just goes back to my comment entry"?
Do you mean the comment form, or your published comment? The page must not refresh to save the comment in the database (we are using ajax: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming) )

Sorry, that is a little vague. Let me clarify.

When I click save, the form is re-displayed with my entries still populating the fields. The page itself isn't refreshing, but the comment isn't being written to the db.

I hope this clears it up. If not, let me know what else may help.

Can you give me the URL of your web site? I don't understand very well what is not working and why.
Thanks!

hi Daniel.

Thanks for the great extension. The installation was simple and quick. Everything seems fine except that I'm having the same problem as Ben. Comments are not successfully posted when I hit the "SEND" button. Have I missed out any thing during the installation? My website's link is as follow: ArchiQuotes.info]

The most common problem for that are changes to the language file. Did you do something like that?

Hi Daniel.

Thanks for your reply.

I didn't do anything to the language file. Do I have to?

Did you make changes to the template?

Neither. Didn't do any changes.

Hm, strange. Can I get super admin access to your web site?

I've just PM you the super admin login details.

Thanks

Hei, Daniel.

Thanks a lot. It works now. How did you do that? All I notice is that, the right module has been deactivated.

No, it is not working. I turned off the ajax support - then it is working. But it should do everything with ajax turned on. We are still looking for the problem.

Yup, it's quite unstable.

Having problem with posting again. Comment is not appearing.

I think I've found the solution to the problem. This is what I did:

# Open the htaccess.txt file.
# Edit the RewriteBase line to RewriteBase /joomla
# Save the file
# Then rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess

It worked! However, I'm not sure if these changes could pose any security problem to my site.

Thanks.

Well, cheers

It is an interesting solution!
