/templates/ /header.tpl (Remove as much as you can. Trail and Error) - Remove Pligg Footer. Edit /
/templates/ /footer.tpl (Remove as much as you can. Trail and Error) - Remove unwanted Siderbar modules. Edit /
/templates/ /sidebar.tpl (Remove Login/Registration Module and others as much as you can. Trail and Error) - Fit Pligg into wrapper:
Edit CSS file of your Pligg template
Find Contentbox and edit its width, find Sidebox and edit its width, find Wrap and edit its width
Note: Depending on your joomla template width, set wrap width to max. Then split the max width between Contentbox and Sidebox. Also remember that there is padding in between so take that into account as well. - Thats all you need but if you want to dig down and integrate fully, there are more things that can be done.

I tried installing this on joomla 1.5 with Legacy enabled but I got this error “Direct Access to this location is not allowed.” and I wasn’t able to access the entire joomla site. Is there a way to make this work with joomla 1.5 ?

When I changed the order to 3 I didn’t get the error but then I don’t know if the plugin was working. As I registered in joomla and wasn’t able to login with the same account in pligg. And when I changed the order back to 0 I got the same error “Direct Access to this location is not allowed.”

grawat,
As of now, this mambot doesnt support Joomla 1.5. I am coming up an upgrade soon.

Thanks for your efforts to combine my two favorite CMS’s. I’m definitely going to keep updated here with any progresses made.
I see that this works for Joomla 1.0.13; CB 1.1; Pligg 9.8.2.
I’m going to be trying this for Joomla 1.0.15, CB 1.1, and Pligg 9.9. Not sure if it’s been tested yet.

Hi Willin,
As of now I can only provide support via this comments.
To access your pligg admin section directly go to the admin url. It should be something like yoursite.com/pliggfolder/admin.php
You can also try to login as admin the joomla site and then go to pligg pages. You should see the admin link on the pligg menu and browse through. If you need help let me know.

Hi… thanks for the answer… It’s stranger, but I have not access in any way to the admin panel… Also there is no admin link in the pligg menu.
I will to delete all the pligg tables in my joomla db, delete the plugin and delete de pligg folder, and then install it again. Let’s see if this is the problem.

If you are using the standard pligg template you should see the admin link in the horizontal menus (that is only after you login as admin). Remember pligg admin could be different than joomla admin. So login as pligg admin. Better yet, create a user in joomla as ‘god’(which is standar pligg admin username) and login and try. if you need help, let me know.

Hello! Thanks for the answer… Actually i try to install Pligg in local to see how it’s works and found this:
I installed joomla 1.5.6 by bitnami.org and configured with my admin nickname and password, then I installed pligg 9.9.5 and edit the admin nick “god” and password, to the same in joomla.
Then I installed the mambot and provided all the database details.
I went to menu administrator and created a new wrap link and wrapped pligg
Also I Hide Registration through Pligg.
But… when I click in the pligg menu link it’s shows me a page that says I must be registered to view the page, but actually I’m loged in and can not see the pligg content.
Any idea about this? Apreciate your help.
Regards
Willin

@Willin,
Couple of things. First, since you are using J1.5, I hope you are using this JPligger 1.2 http://www.vaked.com/jpligger-12-joomla-15-and-pligg-99-integration/ instead of the mambot on this page (JPligger 1.0). Next please make sure all the database settings are correct in the plugin (most common cause for it to not work properly).
Register a new normal user account via Joomla and then browse to wrapper (where pligg is loaded). If that doesnt work, please review the installation steps. If you still face problem let me know.
Thanks.

Boxed… the pluggin was ok, that wasn’t the problem… I desinstall the pluggin and installed again but in the parameters pluggin “site url” I include only localhost (actually the real url is http://127.0.0.1/joomla and in the main menu, pligg link works ok… But….
I can’t go to the pligg admin panel, inside the wrapp i click on the admin link that should be http://127.0.0.1/joomla/pligg/admin_index.php but I have nothing… a blank wrapped page, any idea?

Try accessing the pligg admin url in a new window and see if anything loads up. Make sure to first login as pligg admin via joomla login.
