The information was simply copied and output in PDF and CHM formats for the FireBoard community. Minor formatting changes were made, but the content is virtually identical. Note: This is not new FireBoard official documentation. This is just a small step to help the people who are new to FireBoard and Joomlaboard during the transitional development period. Some documentation is better than no documentation. Having PDF and CHM is better than just online documentation. It is my understanding that the FireBoard Documentation Team will produce documentation when FireBoard is stable. Makes sense to me. Hard to chase a moving target. You end up writing things multiple times....

Introduction 3 1 Introduction This document is a copy of the Joomlaboard online documentation available here: http://www.tsmf.net/content/category/4/14/33/ The information was simply copied and output in PDF and CHM formats for the FireBoard community. Minor formatting changes were made, but the content is virtually identical. Note: This is not new FireBoard official documentation. This is just a small step to help the people who are new to FireBoard and Joomlaboard during the transitional development period. Some documentation is better than no documentation. Having PDF and CHM is better than just online documentation. It is my understanding that the FireBoard Documentation Team will produce documentation when FireBoard is stable. Makes sense to me. Hard to chase a moving target. You end up writing things multiple times. Regards.

Front-end User Guide 5 2.1 PART 1 - Your Forum's Home Page The forum home page is the first page you come to after clicking on the site's forum menu item, and it's also where you come to if you click the "home" link/icon in the forum's top menu. It gives you a quick overview of what's available - categories, forums etc - so you can decide where to go for information. A - Forum search Use this to search through the forum for a specific word or short phrase. eg. click in the box, type a word or short phrase and press your keyboard's enter key - the search results will appear with successful results in bold text. Click on the bold text entry, and you'll be taken to that particular post. If you have no luck finding something on your first try - don't give up. Be less specific and more general, or try words with a similar meaning. B - Board title This is the title of your board, and should probably reflect your site - eg. what your site is about, theme, content etc. You set this title via the admin configuration area. C - Main menu * Home - Clicking on this link takes you to the forum's home page. * My Profile - Click on this to set up personal preferences for the forum - eg. give yourself an avatar (little picture) or set a signature that appears at the bottom of every post you make. More on this later. * Show latest posts - this area allows you to view the latest posts based on specific time variables. * Help - Has some quick and useful information on using bulletin board code etc. * Rules - This is where people can read the rules of expected conduct on your forum. You can enable/disable this feature via the admin configuration area, and you insert your own rules by editing the rules.php file. D - Category name Think of a category as a "container" for a number of forums. In a way, it's a means to group and describe a number of similar forums within a single over-arching concept. For example, I usually have a forum category called "Housekeeping", and within that category I have forums called "Site Suggestions" and "Bug Reports" - the common theme is web site maintenance (housekeeping) - but Creative Commons License © tsfm.net
6 Joomlaboard Manual they're very different forums in terms of content. E - Forum name This is a forum name - click on it and the forum with it's topic list will open up. There are 2 forums defined here. F - Forum description This is a brief description of the forum - it gives you an idea as to where to post something. If you can't make up your mind - most forum operators tend to have a fairly general forum :) G - New post indicator This column contains little exclamation marks - they're indicators as to whether there are any new posts in the corresponding forum. The site's administrator may use different indicators, or graphics - but their job is still the same. You'll only see these if you're a logged in, registered member of the site though - as this function relies on cookies. H - Topics This indicates the number of different topics in the forum. I - Replies This indicates the number of replies in the forum. If you consider the number of topics and replies as a ratio - you'll get an idea of how active/busy/inefficient a forum is. J - Last post details Indicates the date, time and name of the last post on the forum. K - Newest post Clicking on the little page graphic will take you to the latest (newest) post in that forum. L - Mark read Mark all forums read - clicking on this will change all of the exclamation marks in the column marked "G" to show that there are no new unread posts. This is particularly useful on busy forums if you've been offline for a bit and are unable to catch up on all of the reading. M - Indicator key This is an explanation of the colour/icon coding used to show whether there are new posts (see "G") in a forum since your last visit. N - Version/copyright details This is the software version number and copyright details. You must leave these intact - for various reasons - including the occasional need to quote a version number when seeking help, and legal requirements associated with copyright laws.

Front-end User Guide 7 2.2 PART 2a - Your Forum's Flat View When clicking on a forum name on the home page, you'll enter the actual forum. If it's set to "flat view" this is basically what the forum will look like:- A - Forum search Use this to search through the forum for a specific word or short phrase. eg. click in the box, type a word or short phrase and press your keyboard's enter key - the search results will appear with successful results in bold text. Click on the bold text entry, and you'll be taken to that particular post. If you have no luck finding something on your first try - don't give up. Be less specific and more general, or try words with a similar meaning. B - Board title This is the title of your board, and should probably reflect your site - eg. what your site is about, theme, content etc. You set this title via the admin configuration area. C - Main menu This menu is slightly different to that which appears on the forum's home page. * Home - Clicking on this link takes you to the forum's home page. * My Profile - Click on this to set up personal preferences for the forum - eg. give yourself an Creative Commons License © tsfm.net
8 Joomlaboard Manual avatar (little picture) or set a signature that appears at the bottom of every post you make. More on this later. * Threaded view - click this to change from the current flat view to the alternative threaded view of the forum. * Pending/No pending messages - click this to review posts that must be approved prior to publishing. A common misconception is this link is related to myPMS - it's not though :) * Help - Has some quick and useful information on using bulletin board code etc. * Rules - This is where people can read the rules of expected conduct on your forum. You can enable/disable this feature via the admin configuration area, and you insert your own rules by editing the rules.php file. D - Post new topic link/button Press this to post a new topic on the forum. E - Page This is where pagination is listed, enabling forum visitors to skip from one page to another. F - Boardwalk This indicates the path you follow while moving through the forum setup, and you can click on the various links to move back up the path you've traveled. You can also change the word "Boardwalk" via the forum's language file if you want. G - New indicator column This column contains little exclamation marks - they're indicators as to whether there are any new posts/replies to existing posts. The site's administrator may use different indicators, or graphics - but their job is still the same. You'll only see these if you're a logged in, registered member of the site though - as this function relies on cookies. H - Sticky indicator column Think of a "Sticky Topic" as a post-it note - it will stay at the top of the forum's list of topics. This is useful if you have something important you want everyone to see - rather than losing it down the list of new topic entries. You can see on this forum that the topic "Hello" has the "Sticky Topic" indicator next to it. I - Topic icon column This is where the little topic icons selected while making a post are shown. They may be used on a forum to indicate questions or other themes. J - Topics column This is the topic title. The topic title is hyperlinked, and clicking on it will open up the post for reading. K - Replies column The number of replies to the corresponding post. L - Views column The total number of view for the corresponding post. M - Author column The name of the initial post's author. N - Last post column Details of the latest reply for the post - includes the date, time and author. 0 - Most recent post indicator column Click this icon to go to the most recent post for the corresponding topic. Creative Commons License © tsfm.net
Front-end User Guide 9 P - Jump box Use this to jump directly to other forums, rather than using the Boardwalk to move upwards and then across into other forums. Q - Post new topic link/button See item "D" above. R - Mark this forum read Mark all posts in the forum as read - clicking on this will change all of the exclamation marks in the column marked "G" to show that there are no new unread posts. This is particularly useful on busy forums if you've been offline for a bit and are unable to catch up on all of the reading. S - Indicator key This is an explanation of the colour/icon coding used to show whether there are new posts (see "G") in a forum since your last visit. Creative Commons License © tsfm.net
10 Joomlaboard Manual 2.3 PART 2b - Your Forum's Threaded View If, after leaving the forum's home page for a specific forum - and the forum is set to "threaded view" - you'll have a very different look to the forum as can be seen by the image below. Most of the information is essentially the same, however there are differences in how it is laid out and presented. A - Forum search Use this to search through the forum for a specific word or short phrase. eg. click in the box, type a word or short phrase and press your keyboard's enter key - the search results will appear with successful results in bold text. Click on the bold text entry, and you'll be taken to that particular post. If you have no luck finding something on your first try - don't give up. Be less specific and more general, or try words with a similar meaning. B - Board title This is the title of your board, and should probably reflect your site - eg. what your site is about, theme, content etc. You set this title via the admin configuration area.

Front-end User Guide 11 C - Main menu This menu is slightly different to that which appears on the forum's home page. * Home - Clicking on this link takes you to the forum's home page. * My Profile - Click on this to set up personal preferences for the forum - eg. give yourself an avatar (little picture) or set a signature that appears at the bottom of every post you make. More on this later. * Flat view - click this to change from the current threaded view to the alternative flat view of the forum. * Pending/No pending messages - click this to review posts that must be approved prior to publishing. A common misconception is this link is related to myPMS - it's not though :) * Help - Has some quick and useful information on using bulletin board code etc. * Rules - This is where people can read the rules of expected conduct on your forum. You can enable/disable this feature via the admin configuration area, and you insert your own rules by editing the rules.php file. D - Post new topic link/button Press this to post a new topic on the forum. E - Page This is where pagination is listed, enabling forum visitors to skip from one page to another. F - Boardwalk This indicates the path you follow while moving through the forum setup, and you can click on the various links to move back up the path you've traveled.

You can see on this forum that the topic "Hello" has the "Sticky Topic" indicator next to it. I - Topic icon column This is where the little topic icons selected while making a post are shown. They may be used on a forum to indicate questions or other themes. J - Topics column This column has a different layout compared to the flat view. When in threaded view, the topics column contains a hyperlinked topic title and indicates the relationship of replies to their parent post. It's somewhat like a tree - and this view enables you to follow the various twists and turns that sometimes arise in lengthy online post conversations. Unlike the flat view, the threaded view doesn't show the number of replies or views - or the most recent post indicator. K - Author column The name of the initial post's author. L - Last post column Details of the latest reply for the post - includes the date, time and author. M - Jump box Creative Commons License © tsfm.net
12 Joomlaboard Manual Use this to jump directly to other forums, rather than using the Boardwalk to move upwards and then across into other forums. N - Post new topic link/button See item "D" above.

Front-end User Guide 13 2.4 PART 3a - The Flat View of a Post When you open up a post to read, if the forum is set to "flat view" the post and it's subsequent replies (known as the thread) will appear in a simple block-type format as shown below. A - Forum search Use this to search through the forum for a specific word or short phrase. eg. click in the box, type a word or short phrase and press your keyboard's enter key - the search results will appear with successful results in bold text. Click on the bold text entry, and you'll be taken to that particular post. If you have no luck finding something on your first try - don't give up. Be less specific and more general, or try words with a similar meaning. B - Board title Creative Commons License © tsfm.net
14 Joomlaboard Manual This is the title of your board, and should probably reflect your site - eg. what your site is about, theme, content etc. You set this title via the admin configuration area. C - Main menu * Home - Clicking on this link takes you to the forum's home page. * My Profile - Click on this to set up personal preferences for the forum - eg. give yourself an avatar (little picture) or set a signature that appears at the bottom of every post you make. More on this later. * Post reply - You can use this link/button to post a reply to the topic thread, in addition to the reply links/buttons associated with each post in the thread. * Threaded view - This link/button gives you the ability to change from flat to threaded view on the fly, rather than changing preferences via your profile page. * Help - Has some quick and useful information on using bulletin board code etc. * Rules - This is where people can read the rules of expected conduct on your forum. You can enable/disable this feature via the admin configuration area, and you insert your own rules by editing the rules.php file. D - Boardwalk This indicates the path you follow while moving through the forum setup, and you can click on the various links to move back up the path you've traveled. You can also change the word "Boardwalk" via the forum's language file if you want. E - Post new topic link/button Press this to post a new topic on the forum. F - Submission details This line includes the post title and the date/time the post was made. G - Post body This area contains the body of the post made. It can contain normal/formatted text, images, file attachments, and code. After the body of the post you'll find a persons forum signature - if they've defined one that is. H - IP address A poster's address isn't visible to all forum posters - only admins/moderators. It's useful if you need to track down or take action against unruly posters who may need to be banned/blocked from access to site. Blocking/banning users is done via the Mambo side of your site - not the Joomlaboard side of things. I - Buttons associated with the first post of a thread The first post of a thread always has a full set of buttons for admins/moderators. This allows for editing, moving, deleting and locking etc. J - Poster details Depending on what features have been enabled in the administration area, you'll see a variety of things here - including an avatar, rankname and posts indicator. K - Buttons associated with subsequent posts of a thread Subsequent posts have fewer buttons than the original post - a reply, quote, delete and edit link/ button. L - Subscribe Click the link/icon to subscribe to the topic you're reading. This will result in emails being sent to your email account when replies are made to the post. Additional features not shown Creative Commons License © tsfm.net
Front-end User Guide 15 Depending on what additional components you've got integrated via the Joomlaboard administration area, you'll also find Karma indicators (used to applaud/smite posters depending on the quality of their posts), personal messaging icon and links to a person's community builder profile page. Also, if you have the pro versions of various integrated components, you'll also be able to use additional messaging icons (ICQ, AIM etc). Creative Commons License © tsfm.net
16 Joomlaboard Manual 2.5 PART 3b - The Threaded View of a Post The post in threaded view has a different look to that in flat view. You'll notice only one post at a time is shown in detail, and the entire thread is shown below in its tree format. This allows you to move along the thread easily to follow the flow of the conversation. A - Forum search Use this to search through the forum for a specific word or short phrase. eg. click in the box, type a word or short phrase and press your keyboard's enter key - the search results will appear with successful results in bold text. Click on the bold text entry, and you'll be taken to that particular post. If you have no luck finding something on your first try - don't give up. Be less specific and more general, or try words with a similar meaning. B - Board title This is the title of your board, and should probably reflect your site - eg. what your site is about, theme, content etc. You set this title via the admin configuration area. C - Main menu * Home - Clicking on this link takes you to the forum's home page. * My Profile - Click on this to set up personal preferences for the forum - eg. give yourself an avatar (little picture) or set a signature that appears at the bottom of every post you make. More on this later. * Post reply - You can use this link/button to post a reply to the topic thread, in addition to the reply links/buttons associated with each post in the thread. * Flat view - This link/button gives you the ability to change from threaded to flat view on the fly, rather than changing preferences via your profile page. Creative Commons License © tsfm.net
Front-end User Guide 17 * Help - Has some quick and useful information on using bulletin board code etc. * Rules - This is where people can read the rules of expected conduct on your forum. You can enable/disable this feature via the admin configuration area, and you insert your own rules by editing the rules.php file. D - Boardwalk This indicates the path you follow while moving through the forum setup, and you can click on the various links to move back up the path you've traveled. You can also change the word "Boardwalk" via the forum's language file if you want. E - Post new topic link/button Press this to post a new topic on the forum.

Blocking/banning users is done via the Mambo side of your site - not the Joomlaboard side of things. I - Buttons associated with the first post of a thread The first post of a thread always has a full set of buttons for admins/moderators. This allows for editing, moving, deleting and locking etc. J - Columns associated with new post indicator, topic icons etc The threaded view of a post shows up indicators not seen when viewing the post in flat view. K - Thread relationship In threaded view, you're able to see how all of the posts are related to each other. This enables you to follow the thread of a conversation, as there can be multiple themes - particularly within an active post. L - Submission details The 2 columns here contain the author names and time/date for each post within the thread - so you can see who is replying to whom and when. M - Subscribe Click the link/icon to subscribe to the topic you're reading. This will result in emails being sent to your email account when replies are made to the post. Additional features not shown Depending on what additional components you've got integrated via the Joomlaboard administration area, you'll also find Karma indicators (used to applaud/smite posters depending on the quality of their posts), personal messaging icon and links to a person's community builder profile page.

18 Joomlaboard Manual 2.6 Part 4a - Making a new post With time and lots of forum posts, it's easy to forget that making a post can be an intimidating process for people new to online communities. Bulletin board code, smilies and attachments can seem terribly complex - yet they're very easy to master. A - Forum search Use this to search through the forum for a specific word or short phrase. eg. click in the box, type a word or short phrase and press your keyboard's enter key - the search results will appear with successful results in bold text. Click on the bold text entry, and you'll be taken to that particular post. If you have no luck finding something on your first try - don't give up. Be less specific and more general, or try words with a similar meaning. Creative Commons License © tsfm.net
Front-end User Guide 19 B - Board title This is the title of your board, and should probably reflect your site - eg. what your site is about, theme, content etc. You set this title via the admin configuration area. C - Main menu * Home - Clicking on this link takes you to the forum's home page. * My Profile - Click on this to set up personal preferences for the forum - eg. give yourself an avatar (little picture) or set a signature that appears at the bottom of every post you make. More on this later. * Help - Has some quick and useful information on using bulletin board code etc. * Rules - This is where people can read the rules of expected conduct on your forum. You can enable/disable this feature via the admin configuration area, and you insert your own rules by editing the rules.php file. D - Forum title When making a new post, this heading simply indicates the name of the forum you're posting to. E - Name of poster This text box contains the name of the person making the post. If you have set your forum options to allow members to change their name, this text box will be editable - otherwise it will be set. Site admins will be able to change their name regardless of whether this setting allows changes or not. F - Topic title This is where you give your post a topic title. Make your topic line appropriate to the content of your problem. The topic line is essentially a brief summary of the problem, and this is used during the forum search procedure - so make it relevant, useful and full of keywords! A bad topic is "help me", good topic lines include:- "missing icon after upgrade", "hacker attempt warning when editing post", "forum link doesn't work after new installation". G - Topic icon You can give your topic a little icon to make it stand out in the crowd. None is selected by default. To select one, position the mouse pointer in the circle to the left of the icon and click. The little circle should now have a dark spot in it. H - Board code This area really needs an information section all to itself, and the good news is you don't have to use it to post a message. The buttons will insert "tags" to format text - eg. bold, underline, italics etc, some will do dot point, and some will enable an image or hyperlink to be inserted. These tags then have to be closed after the text affected. I - Text effects This extends upon board code, and enables you to change the size and colour of your forum signature. J - Close all tags While it's normal to open and close bb code before and after the text you're applying these effects to, sometimes things get missed. Clicking this link will close all tags that have been left open. K - bbCode help As you move your mouse over the bb code buttons, you'll see a help message flash up in this area to give you tips on applying bb code to your signature. L - Message text box This is where you type the content of your post. As you type this in, where necessary you'll use the board code and text effects mentioned in the previous points to add any desired formatting or special links. The width of this text box can break out of narrow, fixed-width templates - and you can set this Creative Commons License © tsfm.net
20 Joomlaboard Manual width via the admin configuration area. M - Smilies These are the smilies - just click on one or more to insert them into your post. You won't actually see the smilie in the text box though - it will be represented by things like brackets, colons, semi-colons, numbers etc. This is "smilie code" - and it will be converted once you look in the preview window or at the published post. The smilies used with Joomlaboard are transparent png files, which will not show up as transparent in MS explorer. While this isn't an issue with light template backgrounds, it can look unsightly on dark templates. Simply edit the smilies and give them dark backgrounds. N - Image attachments If you have a photo you want to make available for whatever reason on the forum, use this feature. Click the browse button to open up a new window showing your computor's file tree. Navigate your way to the image file, click on it to highlight it, click open, and you will notice the blank area preceding the browse button now has a local computor path in it - this is where the image file will come from. All that's left to do is to press the [img] button to the right of the browse button and your file will be uploaded to the server. Image attachments have certain parameters regarding who can upload, size and type, and these are set via the admin configuration area. You're also only able to attach one image, so if you need to display multiple images this can be done by uploading the image to a web server and then using the bb code to insert the image url's. O - File attachments This bit is the same as the photo/image bit - except it's to do with uploading a file - eg. text document. You follow the same procedure to attach a file as you did to attach an image. There are also parameters such as who can upload, allowable file types/extensions, as well as file size - and these can be set via the admin configuration area. You can only upload one file attachment, yet you can work you way around this by being a little creative. Use the "code" function of bb code to insert code into your post, or upload the file to a web server and insert a url to it. Alternatively, zip a number of documents into a single zip file and attach it. P - Subscribe If you're posting something important and want to get replies sent to you via email - this is where you can subscribe to the post at the time of writing - that way you don't miss a thing. Q - Post action buttons When you're done typing your post to the forum, click the submit button and it will be published. Click the preview button if you'd prefer to check over your post before submitting. The cancel button simply cancels all your hard work writing the post - it's deleted before it's even published to the forum. Creative Commons License © tsfm.net
