Problems with Fireboard - Not sure if it's template related
Posted 17 years 3 weeks ago
Hi,
I've been trying to get the latest Fireboard component to work in my Joomla 1.0x installation and I'm not sure whether I screwed up somewhere along the way - SEF, or something else I did - I have everything disabled in terms of url rewrites, htaccess, etc - however whatever I do - neither the login nor register button work. I've reinstalled fireboard that also didn't help. When I click on login or register it says "this page doesn't exist" - I also installed Community Builder hoping the included login module would fix things but still nothing.
The site I'm working on is my own and it's located here:

SEF changes the way Joomla "Naturally" works. Let me try to explain:
By default Joomla uses the index.php?option=com_fireboard;blah;blah;blah
When you turn on SEF it changes to "Virtual" directories
index.php/fireboard/blah/blah/blah
So 1. your server needs to be able to support it, 2. you have to have a .htaccess file 3. You have to modify the .htaccess file to work with your server.

Thanks for that input. It did indeed prove to be an SEF related issue - I forget which exactly fixed things but one of things I had been doing wrong independently from this problem, was linking to generated SEF urls - instead of their core links - which ended up causing other problems. I've got that all sorted out now, thanks again for the reply.
