Hi,

Is it possible to install jforum without using a new context. I have my own
java site with his own web.xml. Is it possible to merge your web.xml
and install the files in a /forum subdir ?

(If i have to use two web.xml, I would need to pay for it)

Thanks, Daniel

PS: Is there a French properties language file available somewhere?

Hi Daniel,

you can use jforum with your existing context without problems. Just copy the files into web-inf/config, web-inf/classes and web-inf/lib to your existing web-inf dir, merge the web.xml from jforum and put the other dirs, like templates and images, in the root dir. That's all.

Not currently. You're welcome to make it

Hum, that could lead to url conflicts. The home page to begin with.
what would happen if copy images and templates in a subdir?
like /forum ?

url conflits? you mean, image names and kinda?

I *guess* you can put it into a subdir, but you'll need to make a little change in the code: at JForum.java, method init(), there is some code that uses getRealPath() to discover the phyfical application path, like at



You'll need to include your subdir in those places, otherwise jforum will not locate the files.

for example, the home page would conflict. Other pages seem to begin with forums/ search/ ....
Maybe just changing the "back to home page link" is enough

if its only one line in the code to change it should be feasable I guess...
and put the subdir in a config file somewhere

I'll look after than

Daniel

Hi again,

So I did try the simpliest way just as you said copied everything straight
to root directory. And WEB-INF to WEB-INF.

It seems it should be quiet conflict-free after all, except for the home page. Yet a link to /forums/list.page seems to work.

I was also afraid of session conflicts since the httpsession is shared. But after a little sneak in your code it appears you use only the sessionId.

The only sideEffect is that disconnecting on the main site disconnects from the forum, not a problem.

Yet I still have one problem: the "back to home page" points strangely
to /forums or to /users etc. How do I fix that?

Daniel

PS: Bonus question: did I missed it or there is no "quote last message" option like in phbb?

PS: I guess I can look at this french translation ;)

This is a problem in the current verion.. a little mistake of mine. Just edit the file "templates/default/forum_base.htm", go to line 49 and change the last like, that is



to the correct link

hhhmm.. there is a "Quote" link on each post. Isn't that?

Great

Hum not sure what the "correct link" is.. simply "/forums/list.page" ?

Got it!!


Well Translation done, I send it in private. There are still the buttons (.gif) that needs translation, or just a rob from phpbb ;)

May be. But you can put any link you want. Someone will like to put the link to the main page ( eg, your website ), and others will like to link to the main page of the forum ( but this does't makes much sense, since there is a link "Forum Index" already ).

Yet I'm not sure to really understand the use of this functionnality.
