Hello!

Forced to inform you that we are close the public support IDoBlog Free because of the problems associated with spam, that mannualy placed by spamers. Too many want to place here links to their sites, because this page has a great ranking on Google. We have no time to fight with it. So we just closed the registration of new users on this site. Difficulties with downloading of the IDoBlog Free version are not arose, because it does not require any registration for this.

To be honest, we thought that users would help each other and answer the questions that they have solved themselves, but on the practice - this is not happening. Therefore, we decided to support IDoBlog Free version independently on a fee basis to recoup somehow the time spent. The cost will depend on the issue, which applied to us, so help in the installation is estimated at $10. Also you can use IDoBlog Community - our commercial extension, that have much more functionality, in this case support will be free of any extra fees, it's your choise.

The typicaly problems that can arose when using IDoBlog

We definitely sure in working capacity of IDoBlog Free version, and if it does not work on your site, that means there are some problems in the configuration of your server, installed extensions of Joomla! or settings of your browser. We can talk about this so confidently because we use IDoBlog Free version in daily work. Over the past 2 years we have installed it on dozens of sites, and everywhere it's working without problems.

1. Most problems are associated with extensions of Joomla!, because many of developers do not bother to check compatibility with other components, though if honestly say - it is very difficult. Here we recommend one by one try to disable these add-ons and check work of IDoBlog Free version. After disabling the next extension, usually IDoBlog Free version begins to work and there already you should look for conflict. This method helps in 95% of cases to determinethe source of the of problems.

2. The second important problem - the templates. Of course, developers will not be able to make a template that would work completely with the entire mass of components and modules of Joomla! Sometimes IDoBlog Free version stops appear suitable in your template, but it's fairly easy to fix it by yourself. I can recomend use FireBug to quickly debug styles. Here is video, that shows how it can be done.

It's not hard at all, just pick on the page, and try to change value in the FireBug's panel, then make changes in the source CSS-styles.

3. Well, the third problem - it is hosting. At one time, we're very long time to choose a reliable host. After 10-15 attempts, we settled on Mediatemple. We use GS [gridservice] - $20/mo. For several years there have been no serious problems. Everything works right from the box. Very convenient control panel. A lot of disk space. In general, we have never regretted of its choice.

If after these tips, you still can not cope with the problem, then you can contact us by e-mail: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Ajax don't work in IDoBlog, if you use other components with xajax-library.

Copy your avatars to images/idoblog/gallery folder.

Check permissions for folder siteroot/images/idoblog/avatars. If folder doesn't exist then create it and set up CHMOD to 777.

Yes, it works.

Yes, it works, but sometimes have any problems. Now we can't help IIS users.

...components/com_iboblog/assets/templates/nameofyourtemplate/ajaxcomment.php
Change chmod that file to 655

1. Set "Empty plugins group content" off in IDoBlog admin interface (see pic)

2. Manually delete section that named "blogs"
3. Then create it again with this settings

 Thanks to Sid, he asks question here, and then found solution

IDoBlog works only on Joomla 1.5.2 or higher. Please update your Joomla! Do not forget, that Joomla! updates includes fix security bugs. Using old versions may cause vulnerability of your sites.

In ajax.idoblog.php
Find:
$shablon=file_get_contents($shabpath."ajaxcomment.php";

Replace with:
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 5;
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $shabpath."ajaxcomment.php"; curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
$shablon = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
Enjoy:)
