Russell,
I'll confess I'm not really in the business of site makeovers (I don't have the patience, time, and knack for them) but you can definitely get a solid design done somewhere.

I've seen people buy templates or a contract a design from yaXay.com and some people's work on this site is quite good. Perhaps start a thread there about what you are looking for and what you are willing to pay and see if people reply with examples of their work which you like. I can help you deploy their templates at that point if you do decide to hire somebody to redesign.

Rach, go to line 383 and find this line:

$instance = & $forum->getUser($user,$options);

See if changing it to this fixes the problem

$instance = $forum->getUser($user,$options);

(The amp after the = is gone)

Thanks for your recomendations .. at time I saw dreamhost but choose ( I'm not sure why ) Bluehost .. ( maybe for the Support Chat online )

Have a few myswl conection issues that actually dosen't affect my forum .. but looking forward on that.

Tapage, nice site

I'm sure bluehost is fine and if it works for you and you like them, I don't see any reason you should change. "If it ain't broke don't fix it"

Where are you seeing MySQL connection issues? Is it randomly happening when browsing the forum?

Now I get this:

Ok, hrmph. It's gotta be passing a wrong parameter to one of the joomla fxns. I need to find out which one.

Replace that whole file with this and re-run. It will give new output that will let me know exactly what line is failing (since line numbering seems to be getting tracked incorrectly)

Haha, depends on the nature of the problem. What is it?

Kori (), go back to line 383 and find this line:

$instance = & $forum->getUser($user,$options);

Change it to this

$instance = & $forum->getUser($user['username'],$options);

[NaterGator]

Wait a second here... the prototype for the function that is causing the fatal error is:
function createJoomlaUsername($jname, $userid, $username, $email, $password, $usertype, $gid, $params = NULL, $email_conflict = 1)

But the call passes:
AbstractForum::createJoomlaUsername($username, $instance->get('email'), $instance->get('password'), $usertype, $gid)


That ain't right at all. This seems like some really alpha software. Considering the appropriate fix now...

[NaterGator]

One more change.

Change the line that reads:
AbstractForum::createJoomlaUsername($username, $instance->get('email'), $instance->get('password'), $usertype, $gid);

To:
AbstractForum::createJoomlaUsername($jname, $userinfo->userid, $username, $instance->get('email'), $instance->get('password'), $usertype, $gid, NULL, '1');

OK done. Now it says this:

Haha, their variable naming is crap!

Do me a favor, right before that AbstractForum::create... line add the following two lines and rerun and give me the output
print_r($user);
print_r($userinfo);

[grrlscout89FJ62]

Now it say this:

[NaterGator]

Ok, replace the same old line with the following:
AbstractForum::createJoomlaUsername($jname, $userinfo->userid, $username, $userinfo->email, $userinfo->password, $usertype, $gid);

And get rid of those two print_r() lines.

[grrlscout89FJ62]

Success????

Yes!!

I just created a new acct on the message boards, then used the user sync function on joomla, and it brought it over -- AWESOME!!

Thank you!!

[NaterGator]

All I see on the front page is the standard com_user login module. Did you enable and use the JFusion one? I think you're supposed to do that

uh, i thought i did... lemme go check.

[grrlscout89FJ62]

In the plugins, I have jfusion authentication enabled, and Joomla authentication disabled.

ahh... but I had user-jfusion disabled and user-joomla enabled. I just switched them.

is that right?

Where are you seeing MySQL connection issues? Is it randomly happening when browsing the forum?

thanks Nator ..

I never have a issue browsing the forum ( tiny compared to anyother forum ) but I randomly have reports ( mails ) from the forum, with a mysql conectivity issues ..

Yes, now you need to go under Extensions->Module manager and disable "Login Form" and enable "JFusion Login Module"

Did you in fact install it? Filter them with the word login and see if it comes up. If not you may want to upgrade each part of the jfusion modules/plugins to the newest versions since installing just the login module from the new version may be risky.

[grrlscout89FJ62]

hrmm... there was an error during the install

however, now I'm in the laptop that has no webdev software. So this task will have to wait until tomorrow, at the earliest.

[NaterGator]

Yeah, from playing around with it jfusion is pretty damn picky (maybe flaky is the right word)

I've had it lock me out of my joomla admin panel about 4 times now and I have to go into the joomla database and fix everything manually

It would almost be safer to simply hard-code the PHP source into joomla and smf that would add the user to the other upon registration. JFusion is adding this extra layer on top of joomla and totally messes with it's whole login system (despite claming no core modifications). 1.0.6c is also littered with programming mistakes I've had to correct on my local install before it would even work. When they say it's alpha they really mean it's alpha. It by no means deserves a 1.x version number that they gave it. A 0.2.x version number would be generous given the state of the code IMO.

Honestly the best bet for total newbies to get their feet wet is to use templates and open source content managers.

Here is a quick example of one I just google up real quick:
Open Web Design - View Design

These are typically easy to drop onto your site and plug your content into. They look good out of the box, and many are fairly easy to customize. Once you start using them you'll get a feel for how everything works and eventually you'll be ready to at least partially DIY.
