We're in the home stretch here.

1. NOTE: This problem does not seem to crop up anymore with the newest version of the component. Do not bother with this unless you get to the end and you get an error message relating to bbcode.php.
   Now to fix a sometimes error. Not really sure why it happens, but this fixes it. It's a clunky fix and I'd appreciate any insight as to why it happens or any more elegant solutions. If you use multiple templates in PhpBB, this fix could be trouble, not in a broken way, but in an "it looks weird" way.

    
   open includes/bbcode.php 
   ----FIND line 46 ---- 
   $tpl_filename = $template->make_filename('bbcode.tpl'); 
   
   ----REPLACE WITH----
   
   $tpl_filename = $template->make_filename('YOUR ROOT PATH TO bbcode.tpl');
   

   Again, REMEMBER TO REPLACE
   YOUR ROOT PATH - with the name of your template, in my case "SubGreen". I.E. '/home/USER/www/components/com_forum/templates/TEMPLATE/bbcode.tpl'.

2. I've changed the "READ MORE" link to read "Read more and View Comments". You can do this in the administrator section of Mambo. Go to
   Site>Language Manager>Site Languages and change it there.

3. The code for space:

4. & nbsp ;
   

5.  (remove spaces) from wysiwyg editors shows up in PhpBB. You can get rid of it by doing this --
   

   open com_forum/viewtopic.php:
   ----AFTER line 1050---- 
   $message = $postrow[$i]['post_text']; 
   
   ----ADD---- 
   
   $message = str_replace("amp;nbsp", "nbsp", $message);
   

6. NOTE: I no longer recommend this next hack. I would recommend just allowing HTML in all posts. If you do, and posting HTML is still a problem, post your problem in the comments section.
   If you do not want your entire board to be allowed to post in HTML, do the hack described here. It allows ADMINS (like your CommentBot) to post in HTML.
