because there is more to all of this then he wrote
You have to disable the joomla login and use the cb login, you can change the styling is the css and code, if you do not know how, you can hire someone. You can place the cb login module in another position for now and leave blank the top area where the WRONG login module is
You need to go to the backend admin of community builder and sync your users with cb,
components/communitybuilder/tools click sync usersyou need to go to components/communitybuilder/configuration/registration and for the first field. Allow User Registration set to yes, independently of global site setting
you need to go to site/globalconfiguration/system/ Allow User Registration set to NO.
now install fireboard
then in fireboard configuration. go to integration and set all the cb settings as shown , also, make sure you click on “Create Community Builder forum profile “
(note: i had uddeIM installed, set that for what ever PMS you installed. Do not use the CB default PMS, it has been deprecated)and then you need to go to fireboard control panel and click on syncronize users.
Now you still have another issue, at the top of the forum you will still have login, register, lost password, those are most likely pointing to the cb user and not cb comprofiler, so you users will be out of sync if they use this to register for your site, and you also would want for the user to not have to reregister just to use the forum.so…. this has to be removed. So doing thes step will unify the lohin for the forum and cb.
You can use joomlaXplorer or your hosting control panel or just your ftp program.
navigate to
/public_html/xxxxxxx/components/com_fireboard/template/default/plugin/profilebox/profilebox.phpmake a backup of the file and save it someplace in case this gets screwed up you can restore.
open it in a raw text editor. like notepad, i use textpad as it has line numbers
around line 189 you will see<br/> <?php echo _PROFILEBOX_PLEASE; ?><a href = "<?php echo $loginlink;?>"><?php echo _PROFILEBOX_LOGIN; ?></a> <?php echo _PROFILEBOX_OR; ?> <a href = "<?php echo $registerlink;?>"><?php echo _PROFILEBOX_REGISTER; ?></a>.
<a href = "<?php echo $lostpasslink;?>"><?php echo _PROFILEBOX_LOST_PASSWORD; ?></a>
delete it and save the file
I replaced it with this line of text
You Must Be Registered To Post On The Forumthen save and look at your forum as an unregistered user and the registration/login and password line of links should be gone.
if it does not look right, restore from the back up and try agin
You MUST do this or anyone registering from the forum and not the cb login will be out of sync.
if you search the fireboard forums, you will find all of this information there.
now you need to get the fireboard cb plugin tab, unfortunately, the one described in hungs post does not work with the latest version of cb and fireboard. there are several to choose from in the joomla extensions directory.
