I am frustrated and it seems I paid for the documentaion that has not saved me "valuable time" and has not helped me build a "community web site better and faster".

Since CB 1.2 is native for Joomla 1.5, consider separating the documentation for the two versions of Joomla.


The CB 1.2 RC documentation has instructions for both versions of Joomla.

If you can point out what part needs further explanation, I will gladly try and improve.

I have no problem saying it was my fault when it was my fault. Actually it is my Host's doing but I will take the blame.
Godaddy has been my provider for almost 2 years now and in the past I have tested multiple instances of Joomla ( 1.xx, 1.5.x) with very little issues.
I recently upgraded my hosting plan expecting no problems. As I have found out in the last few days, there are problems with the mod_rewrite in this new GoDaddy plan.
I was on the phone with them for over a hour with no success. I finally fixed the issue myself by uncommenting the "RewriteBase" in the .htaccess file. By default it is not used becaue the
"RewriteBase" directs to the root. Apparently with the Godaddy servers you need to add the "/" even though you are at root level.

Once again, I would like to apologize.

I still have issues with the documentation .. err rather the README.txt.

Section 2.6 or needs to be the README.txt and add something to Step 8 is for Joomla 1.5.3 users to see Step 12 and it is not possible to unistall mod_login in 1.5.3.

I am not gonna go any further because it takes time and I am niether developer or content manager for this project.

Take Care.

Thanks for the feedbacks on the readme. I'm the "culprit" of that file ;)

Here are the improved steps following your comments:

[code:1]8) Disable the Standard Joomla/Mambo Login Module. To do that, go to the
administration backend then:
- in Mambo/joomla 1.0 go to modules->site modules then click on the green
publish checkmark of "Login form" (mod_login) so that it becomes a red cross).
- in Joomla 1.5 go to Extensions->modules then click on the green "Enabled"
checkmark of "Login form" (mod_login) so that it becomes a red cross).

9) Add a new user menu item to the "User Menu" for Community Builder:
(this will be the link to the user's profile page).
For this, go to "Menus" -> "User Menu", click New, then:
- in Mambo/joomla 1.0 select "component", "Community Builder (comprofiler)",
leaving access public for the item, give a name and save.
- in Joomla 1.5 click in internal links "Community Builder", then "User Profile",
leave access public for the item, give a title and alias and save.
NOTE: This is not a security issue, CB checkes access. As you don't want this
menu item to appear publically, you can put it in the User Menu as explained
in this step, or another menu with Registered access level at least.

10) Add a list menu item:
(this will be the link to the searchable users-listing).
For this, go to "Menus" -> "User Menu" (for non-public lists) or
"Menus" -> "Main Menu" (for public lists), click New, then:
- in Mambo/Joomla 1.0 select Link-URL / External-URL and point it to
index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=usersList (no 'http://domain' name)
and save.
- in Joomla 1.5 click internal links "Community Builder", then "Users-list",
leave parameters as is, and save
NOTE: if you want the list to be accessible publically, make this
menu entry public (and make also public the one under point 8) )
NOTE: if you make the menu being the first of the main menu it will
become the site's homepage.
[/code:1]

Hope the few improved changes make them more clear for Joomla 1.5, specially step 8 had the Joomla 1.0 menu headings, instead of the Joomla 1.5 ones. Good catch, thanks for reporting back.

If you see further clarifications to be usefull in the above improvements, do not hesitate to reply/suggest, we are looking forward to make them as clear as possible :)
