Joomla Coding Examples - Joomsef to Fireboard

Joomsef - Fireboard Plugin for SEO & SEF URL's

Background
Fireboard is a new release of the recently merged Joomla Board and Fireboard development teams.  Artio has yet to release a plugin or patch to make it work so I have altered the Joomlaboard code to make it work for Fireboard as a new SEF extension file.

The Problem
Unfortunately the makers of JoomSEF haven't had time or any inclination to develop a free plugin to work with the new Forum component called Fireboard.  So, we are faced with unfriendly URL's in our Fireboard Forum!! .. something I hate as a Joomla SEO expert.


The Solution
Download the extension file below and follow the directions contained within.  This plugin patch is confirmed as working on Joomla 1.0.12 stable, Fireboard 1.0.0 JoomSEF 1.5.0 (get the hacked copy from my site www.kangainternet.com.au, hacked because I removed the Artio hidden tags!!!).  Having said that I believe this patch will work on Joomla 1.x, JoomSEF 1.x and Fireboard 1.4.x & 1.5.x.  Can't hurt to try it on other versions as it doesn't replace any files.

Installation

Joomsef must be installed and working then just follow these procedures
1. Extract the zip file locally
2. upload the extracted contents, "com_fireboard.php" file to your "<webroot>/components/com_sef/sef_ext" folder.

The plugin is now installed.
