JFusion  -> Universal User Integration
This is one of those things that just makes your site complete. I have been following the development of this extension for a LONG time. Gladly it is at a point with its video tutorials and online documentation that allows one to get it right and learn in the process.

At first I was having a hard time figuring out the cookie domain and module id's, but after talking with support, not only did it clear things up but it got rid of a little bug I was seeing in the template.

I will inform users here that if they are seeing a page while choosing frameless that says the compression type you are using is not viable ( or something of the sort ) you need to disable GZip Compression on the forums when using Phpbb3. I am also sure that this and the inability to moderate in a frameless environment will be fixed ASAP if not in the next release.

Updates are a breeze with this new version and the video tutorial is a great reference when things are not working for you. Keep in mind that you need to create a new menu item and choose the jfusion option when calling your forums. Your old menu link will not provide the necessary options to keep your pages frameless and integrated with your site unless you don't have a subdomain. I believe not using a subdomain might work, but am unsure ( or positive about it )

Take your time, read, check the forums, watch the tutorial and if you still can't get it working post a thread ( BUT SEARCH FIRST )

Excellent product, Excellent Support, Excellent people over there doing an amazing job at helping you out. Keep up the good work!

One more thing. Be patient... the learning process might take some people longer then others, but if you take your time, go back and read and test things out you will have perfection in no time.

Kind regards,

I think this is going to be a pretty good script if the developer gives it the attention it needs. It's a shame that people with no development knowledge comment on things provided to them for free in a bad way. I am not saying don't comment, but instead of saying something so negative, give the person some credit for trying and looking for feedback to make improvements.

What we need is a shoutbox for version 1.5 that works with the following abilities and more. Feel free to contact me if you want more ideas.

1. Only use the shoutbox if registered.
2. If a person were to click on a link in the main menu for the shoutbox I would hope the responding page would ask them to register if they were not already logged in or
3. Only show the link in the main menu if they are logged in.
4. Include smiley faces
5. Limit the amount of text shown on the screen before the conversation scrolls off the page.
6. Include a link at the top of the shoutbox called shoutbox and when clicked allows you to go through the last 100+ or more posts so people can get in on the conversation or see what they missed.
7. Allow hyperlinks that OPEN NEW WINDOWS
8. Easily allows you to specify the height and width of your shoutbox plus change colors to match your site.

I can add more if you are interested.

This is what this community needs for a shoutbox.. Something better then VB Shoutbox that can be added to a wrapper or a static page and linked to from the main menu. Whoever does this will have mine and many others praise forever.

Kind regards,
Mynd
