Serendipity Forums

Hello,

I am using Serendipity 0.9 and PHP 5.0.3 and I am trying to deploy the discussion forum plugin on the same site as serendipity.

I am using a recent version of the Static Pages plugin (sorry not sure what version but I downloaded it recently date: Nov 9 2005). The plug has a tab for 'Other plugins'. In this tab, the 'Discussion forum' plugin is shown.

I checked the 'Discussion Forum' entry and clicked ok. Then I went to the blog main page, but I cannot see the corresponding static page. I can see my other static pages however.

So I am guessing a configuration error on my side. I would really appreciate your help in getting to work.

Thank you,

Louie

Further information that maybe of help:
- Static Pages plugin version 3.14.
- Discussion Forum plugin version 0.9.
- Pages plugin version 1.10.

I tried setting the static url (permalink) on the Discussion Forum plugin configuration screen to various values such as:
- forum.html
- /forum.html
- /index.php?/pages/forum.html
- /pages/forum.html

Nothing showed up.

I would really appreciate anyone's assistance.

Can you see the forum in the page-order-category?

Yes I do. However, I cannot change the page order.

Can you look in the staticpages-Table in the Database and post what data are inserted for the forum, please?

Are you using mysql or or pgsql?

MySQL 4.0.19. Here is the complete dump as generated by PHPMyAdmin. Record id #9 looks wrong to me because there is no title.

I manually added the language using PHPMySQL and now I do get the link to the Discussion forum. However, the link contains:

http://serendipity.crossworddesigner.co ... age]=forum

which is not the static url I used in the Discussion forum plugin config:
/index.php?/pages/forum.html

Obviously, I do not get the forum when I press the Discussion forum link but instead I get a list of the postings I have in the blog.

Also, adding the language to the record above allowed me to change the order.


By the way, thank you very much for this help.

Okay, i have a look. But both Links works .

Hi again,

i play yesterday with the plugin oneahalf hours, but i couldn't reproduce your bug. I reorder the forum-plugin-position after i integrete the plugin and it works. Sorry.
But i wrote a plugin-patch that now select empty language-rows the plugins in the sidebar. Because the Plugins are not multilingual and so i don't save a language in the database and so the plugins canbe shown anytime.

I test it at weekend again and hope (;-)) i find the bug.

Thanks for your troubles...It is possible all my troubles are due to different php/apache setup, or may be I have other plugins that interfere with discussion forum and the static page ones.

Thanks again,

I had same problem, seems to be fixed if you update Static page plugin with files from CVS or those in here http://www.netmirror.org/mirror/serendi ... lugins.tgz
