Joomla! 1.5 plugin for Phorum integration

I have implemented some improvements, like Joomla directory validation, but also auto discovery of the Joomla installation.

All details of the latest Phorum module can be found on [jfoobar.org] or just download it at [joomlacode.org]

Again, any feedback is welcome.

Hi

I get the following error

"Auto discover of Joomla path not possible. Please make sure you enter the proper absolute path to the Joomla installation."

Entering the absolute path, I get the same error as I told at the beginning of this thread.

If you are interested, PM me and I give you admin rights to have a short look at it yourself.

regards.

Wilco,

I'm thinking that the Joomla auto-discovery enhancement might be more trouble than it's worth, for a few reasons:

1) Runaway recursion with symlinks - That "rglob" function in settings.php is easily sucked into an endless loop if a circular symlink directory is encountered. I've rewritten the function to catch those ... I'll publish to jfoobar shortly.

2) You can't manually enter the Joomla install dir until the auto-discovery has completed. If the auto-discovery times out, you can never enter the Joomla install dir. Even after fixing the symlink recursion, my install was still too much for rglob to handle w/out hitting the script timeout limit.

My script timeout is only 30 seconds ... sure, I could bump it up, but I'm convinced we could solve this challenge a bit more efficiently. Too bad "find" is off the table :)

Sometimes, maybe one in 20, a new user registered in joomla simply takes over all posts of an already existing username.

Bothstill have a different user_id.

But all posts a already existing user made, are suddenly written by the new registered user. Which means, the user_id and user_name of these posts change to the newly registered user. Strange.

None of this works anymore. I get that message about there being no settings. I can't input the actual path, it always says there are no settings. I was really looking forward to integrating the 2.
