GroupJive in Joomla 1.5 Works

This is a technical article for those joomla users out there that just can't wait for groupjive to be upgraded any further - this will get you functioning with joomla 1.5!

1. Upgrade the current CB v1.1 into CB v1.2 stable version

1. Before upgrading, please backup the configuration file

"administrator/components/com_comprofiler/ue_config.php"

2. Uninstall an old component CB v1.1 include all mods except the CB plugins

3. Install CB v1.2 stable version : com_comprofiler.zip , mod_cblogin.zip , mod_comprofilerModerator.zip , mod_comprofilerOnline.zip

4. Restore again file "administrator/components/com_comprofiler/ue_config.php" to system

5. Remove existing CB menu from Mainmenu then create a new one.
`

6. Check DB in "Components->Community Builder->Tools->Check Community Builder Database"

7. Sync the user default joomla into your new CB in "Components->Community Builder->Tools->Synchronize User Data"

8. New CB is running well, you can configure then.

2. Installing Groupjive 1.7 RC v.30a

1. Find Groupjive 1.7 RC v.30a at www.groupjive.org

2. Install file com_groupjive.zip in your joomla 1.5

3. Replace file "com_groupjive/templates/default /groupjive_css.css" with the groupjive_css.css that was modified by me (included with this doc file) .

4. If you have a problem "unique_key" during installation, check your database table, if it doesn't exist then you can ALTER it manually .. here is the

code :

Check data :

SELECT MAX(id), COUNT(*) FROM `jos_gj_users` GROUP BY id_user, id_group HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;

If data doesn't exist, do this query :

ALTER TABLE `jos_gj_users` ADD UNIQUE `unique_key` ( `id_user` , `id_group` );

If there're duplicate datas, you must delete one of them :

DELETE FROM jos_gj_users WHERE id IN (--***insert here comma separated list of ids***--);

3. After installation, configure the Groupjive at tab Setting and then insert Categories,Groups and Members.

4. Make Mainmenu that pointing to Groupjive component.

5. That's all
