Im trying to get my forum to run like this “Running the Forums Through Regular Templates”

I have tried these instructions but it doesn’t seem to display anything but a load of characters?

http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/forum/other_features.html

{preload_replace:channels="entry-projects"}

{embed="embeds/head"}

{exp:channel:entries channel="{channels}" orderby="date" limit="1"}

        <title>{if home-meta-title}{home-meta-title} / {/if}{title} / {site_url_title}</title>
        <meta name="description" content="{home-meta-description}" />
        <meta name="keywords" content="{home-meta-keywords}" />

{/exp:channel:entries}

{embed="embeds/header"}

                <div class="column-container">
                    {exp:forum}
                </div>

{embed="embeds/footer"}

The template is in the Template Group called “projects” then the Template is called “forums”

The settings i have set up are:

Forum Board Label - Forum
Forum Board Short Name - forums
Forum URL - http://www.website.co.uk/folder/index.php/forums/
Forum Triggering Word - forums
Enable Forum Board - Yes

But it just displays this:

M10o93H7pQ09L8X1t49cHY01Z5j4TT91fGfr

Are you using multi-site manager on this site?

shapedesign,

I can’t replica this on the latest EE2.2.1 build 20110705 and Forum version 3.1.5 build 20110630

What version and build of both EE and forum are you using?

Can you just try adding {exp:forum} on its own please?

Paul - Im not running MSM, just a single site.

John - I tried adding just {exp:forum} and it still just gives me :

“M00o93H7pQ09L8X1t49cHY01Z5j4TT91fGfr”

in the browser?!

EE 2.1.3 Build 20101220
EE Forum - 3.1.4

Hi, shapedesign,

Is it possible to get you to update to the latest EE and Forum?  I wonder if you have these two out of sync, which is why you are seeing template markers (those strings are markers for later processing).

Thank you.

Hi

I updated to:

EE - v2.2.1 - Build: 20110705
Forum - 3.1.5 (Although in the mod.forum.php file, it states it’s 3.1.4? but on your downloads section it said 3.1.5?)

it seems to be working now, thanks 😊

Probably worth checking your version numbers though, slightly confusing 😉

Hi shapedesign.

The version for the forum has been fixed for the next release. Glad things are working for you again. If anything else comes up, please do let us know in a new thread..
