Zen TYPO3 Forum

None that I know of. The constants in the constant editor mostly cover design styles. I might be able to take at your installation over the weekend.

Greg, thanks for the quick reply!

I appreciate the pictorial too! Helps alot for newbies. Problem is, I'm almost certain I did those things correctly.

Here is what I did.

1. created standard new page called Forums and set the GRSP to Forum Records sysfolder (which is id 28 ). This probably won't do anything since I already set the startingpoint to the Forum Records folder from the CHC plugin page.

2. In Forums page, add new content and insert plugin CHC forum. Set front end users storage folder to PID 13 in the required flexform and left everything else alone (I named PID 13 Users and under this page, I have "Website users" (I can see that all FE user registration goes into here) and for "Website usergroup", create Pending and Confirmed.

3. In Forum Records, create Forum Categories, Forum Conferences and Forum Groups and set them up accordingly as per your instructions.

Now, from the front end, anonymous users can view topics but cannot post (that's fine, if I give permission anonymous read/write access, they can post). I login and go back to forums, the post function is now available. But no name or email is attached to it. Actually, the name has [ ] beside it and the email is entirely blank. So when I try to submit a post, I get the dreaded error. LOL! BTW, logged in users can view the users list.

This is a shot in the dark, but are there any constants that I need to manually input into template page?

Many thanks,

John

Hi John,

I'm assuming you're pointing the extension to the folder where your FE users are stored? The extension will not automatically pick up from fe users unless it knows where they are first.



Also make sure you create a Forum-group title and configure CHC Forum to recognize that user group as the one allowed to make posts in your fe user sys folder.

Hello,

After messing around with CHC forum for almost 2 weeks, searching the net for answers... I'm about to give up... LOL!

I'm using Typo 4.1, newloginbox_3.0.1, static_info_tables 2.0.2 and sr_feuser_register_2.5.6

I followed the step-by-step feuser registration and everything works great with the newloginbox. Thanks Greg! But with one exception. I left the registerPID, loginPID, editPID, confirmPID to = 0. If I assigned them to the proper page IDs, users won't be able to register. I also tried out WEC forum, and it works but CHC is much better !:-)

When I confiured CHC forum, it seems to be easy enough. When I make the forum (read/write) to anonymous, posting works fine. But when I set restrictions to allow only registered users to post, an error shows up when registered users try to post because he name and email fields are blank for registered users. CHC Forum tutorial says it will automatically pick up from feuser registration, but it doesn't. So I guess I'm missing a step here.

Below is the error:

Your post contained errors:
Name
Email

I've done all there is humanly possible for a newbie. I made a user sysfolder (id=13) and inside it, created the website usergroups for pending and confirmed. Their ids are 1 and 2 respectively, so I set the TS constant usergroupuponregistration=1 and usergroupafterconfirmation=2. Also, in the user sysfolder contains website users (which shows all the current users that signed up.

plugin.tx_srfeuserregister_pi1.confirmPID = 0
plugin.tx_srfeuserregister_pi1.editPID = 0
plugin.tx_srfeuserregister_pi1.registerPID = 0
plugin.tx_srfeuserregister_pi1.pid = 13
plugin.tx_srfeuserregister_pi1.loginPID = 0
plugin.tx_srfeuserregister_pi1.userGroupAfterConfirmation = 2
plugin.tx_srfeuserregister_pi1.userGroupUponRegistration = 1

I must be missing something that's quite obvious, but I don't know what else to do.

TIA,

John
