MyBB Problem

[ttnorris]

Hi,

I'm using the newest version of Forum News (version 2.20), however I'm having trouble with getting the posts to display and the script is spanning across my entire page. It's taking up the whole page although I have it in tables, set to a specific width. It didn't start doing this until I started using MyBB. When I was using PHPbb and InvisionBoard I had no trouble at all.

It's saying that I have no posts, but I have actually created 5 sample posts, however it's still stating I have none.

I may have made a setup mistake, but I don't believe so... but you never know. If it helps you can view what it's doing at: http://www.romantic-short-love-stories.com/test.php

I look forward to receiving whatever help or suggestions you can offer.

Thanks in advance!

Several questions:

1) What version of MyBB are you using? It is possible that the EP-Dev Forum News script doesn't work with the latest version of MyBB. If this is the case, I can easily update the script and post the updated file here.
2) What generated code are you pasting into your page?
3) What category IDs (sometimes referred to as forums depending on the script) are you attempting to fetch news from?
4) Are you using the correct database prefix for your new forum? MyBB's default prefix is "mybb_" while phpbb's default prefix is "phpbb_". However, if you upgraded from phpBB to MyBB it is possible that the prefix is still "phpbb_".

More than likely, the problem has to do with #1. If it was a bad database then the script would say so, so you likely have it configured properly.

I will download the latest version of MyBB and take a look at it, but please try to respond to the questions as soon as possible.

I checked the new version of MyBB and it still works with the script.

This means that it is likely that you are either:
a ) Using the wrong database prefix
b ) Trying to fetch the wrong forum/category ids.

Hi,

I apologize for the delay in response. The problem was the category ID. I apologize for overlooking that mere change. I looked at everything else but managed to miss that simple change.

I just wanted to thank you so much for your quick reply, and apologize for any extra work I caused you. I appreciate all of your help and suggestions... and thanks for creating such a fantastic product!

Have a great day!
