Cant seem to locate the administrator panel for the SMF forum
« on: May 13, 2006, 11:36:49 AM »

I have mambo 4.5.3h installed as i was unsure of the i differences between joomla and mambo which i have found out some now.
I installed the SMF 1.1rc2 board.
I installed the Joomla-SMF_1[1].1RC2_including_patches1-3.zip
All seems to work just fine
My users seem to be integrated though i have had some complain that they cant login but when i try to use there names and login i get in ok then they try and all is fine.
Odd could be bad typing.
Now before i used the Joomla-SMF_1[1].1RC2_including_patches1-3.zip i seen a admin panel for the SMF forum.
I no longer see that.
I seem to be at a loss on how to actually manage the forum this way.
There is a component in mambo control panel and that is where i see the component listed and all seems to be fine i did the install instructions for the com and all seems to be good but even in the mambo control panel i see no way to administer the forum. Like setting up boards and such as you would from a native Any brand forum administration panel.

Any help on this would be nice.
I have searched the boards here and to be honest this board confuses me in how it is set up. But in any event i have not found a answer or a topic listed for this.

I cant figure this out, either. Can anyone with experience here point out how to admin the SMF forum? I have read all the docs, searched the forum, etc. I'm at a loss.

thanks,

Luke

Go to your component menu on your main admin tool bar and then scroll down until you see the Joomla-SMF Forum menu item

The above was for the J!SMF bridge -- to admin the forums themselves you'll see an admin link in your forum tool bar.

Hope this helps

Ok I resolved this somewhat  not great but somewhat.
What i have come to relize is that the bridge does not use the
super administrator account as the admin account for the Forum
So when you set the Forum up you had to add a admin account to the setup
Though this didnt work actually to try and login under that.
What did work was that i also have another script modded into mambo which was the account i used to login to the SMF as admin
Though if you try to login using the Super Administrator accont from  mambo
It will list you as a Administrator but it will treat you as a Regular User.
Some bug or something is stopping the actual bridge of the accounts to be 100% successfull.
So my suggestion is this check your database for users that you have listed in the user table one of those more likely of the ones you created should allowyou to login as the actual SMF administrator

Oh and dont forget to change the user to a adminstrator for the main mambo account as this way it will somewhat work around correcting theproblem of loggin in once instead of repeated times to get to adminstrative settings from one script to another.
