Question First page dissappears, posts all mixed up

k, i just made a dummy site to test things out so i can keep this one live.
my issue with the out of order posts has been corrected with an option in cb,
specifically i unpublished the forum integration tab and it seemed to correct the posts problem.
i dont understand it but it worked
ill get back to you after i test out the unmodified default_ex template on my dummy site

This does the exact same thing on my site down to a T, the community builder integration is flawed, if you turn it off, the posts appear in the right order again. I have 1.2.2 (CB) and the most recent version of this forum system

The page navigation only works if you visit the forums through a menu link, not by using a module. No module wrote for this forum system works correctly and I consider this a major disadvantage because I can't show recent posts on my home page, because the page navigation will not work right. The problem is with the modules, they do not link to the post the right way.

Here's an example, if I visit the forums through a menu link and then click on the link for this post, the link is:

www.tfwfc.com/version20/index.php?option...ew&catid=533&id=2860

Now if I use any module wrote for this forum, and click on the same post in a recent post settings I get this link:

www.tfwfc.com/version20/index.php?option...=6&limitstart=6#2868

That's what's messing it up, then if you use that link the forum navagation fails because the forum doesn't correct the link when navagating to pages. You can view pages 2, 3 , 4 ,5 but if you try to view page 1 it just refreshes the page you're on.

I'm trying to figure this out but I'm to the point of pulling my hair out, I've had the exact same problem with fireboard 1.04 1.05 so on and so forth, if you use modules to display posts, it breaks the forum navagation.

Wow never mind, on a fresh install of this forum system with a the included template the page navigation doesn't work at all when I view posts according to categories. I do a catagory view, and then click on a post in a catagory, if I go to the last page and then click 1st page, it just refreshes the page. I have several forum members barking at me for this, any idea how to make the page navigation work? It's only navigates to page 2, 3 , 4 ,5 of a thread, page 1 does not work, it just refreshes the current page

The problem is with the links generated by this forum system for page navagation, it's always been an issue with fireboard. This is a good example

When I view categories and click on a post for example I get this link:

Itemid=128&func=view&catid=518&id=2543

This starts me out on the 3rd page of this thread, when I click page 2 I get this link:

Itemid=128&func=view&catid=518&id=2543&limitstart=6

When I click on page 1 I get the exact same link as when I view page 3

Itemid=128&func=view&catid=518&id=2543

All it does is refreshes the last page, the links are not generated correctly in page navigation

Please note, if the you insert a 0 for the 6 in limit start, it will view the first page correctly like this:

Itemid=128&func=view&catid=518&id=2543&limitstart=0

Any ideas on how I change the core to make it link correctly to the first page of a forum thread? I want it to use that link for any post when I try to view the first page of any thread, then it works perfectly fine.

Ok it is fixed by using Default_ex

now the question is, why are templates included with this program that don't work right? That makes no sense at all, in the download I just got it includes and defaults when you install it to the default template, which doesn't work at all with page navigation.

I'd just give a good suggestion, remove the default template from the download, as well as all the other templates, because hey don't work besides default_ex, including them in an install is just going to make everything worse, especially when it defaults to it.

K1.5.9x

DEFAULT is not a template in its own right, it is the core files used by the default_ex template.


This has been changed in K1.6 as default is now an actual template " Blue Eagle "
