This may not be a bug on the SMF forum integration, but I notice something realy interesting.
try logging in with the login module, leave it for about 10 to 15 minutes and its automaticaly logs you out based on the seeting you specify at mambo configuration.
Now try logging trough the forum which has an option of loggin you forever, wait 10 or 15 and more.
In my case, the login module does exacly as mambo told it to be, but the SMF login does what it's supposed to be as the SMF setting. My point is, IF the user logs in with the SMF login and closed the browser and open it again the SMF Forum is still logged because you opt for the cookies to remain "forever". I have encounter this at www.monoload.com when i visit the forum is still logged in and the login module is not?
is anyone encounter the same? Note: Im using Firefox, I dont think the SMF login "forever" opt works in IE
Yes, that's gonna be the case. Because Mambo and SMf has their own session. But SMF implemented it differently.
In my honest opinion, that SMF login feature is just too much. Users often just ignore it. I mean, think of an app that does that? Yahoo mail or other webmail apps? Friendster? Mambo.. etc... they don't. Because user won't be logged forever, or 1 month, 1 week, 1 day, etc... Or would they know how long they will be logged. If a user is logged, they should be in front of the computer.
If the user forgot to logout, the session should just die based on the default time limit just like those other apps does. I've designed different web app projects, and this feature imho, is just an overkill.
Unfortunately, not for the new version. Because mambo does not have that. I can or somebody can probably hack mambo registration module and add an agreement text. Should be easy.

Correct me if im wrong but if I login with mambo, i'm using mambo cookies for the session? if I logged in with SMF, im using smf cookies for the session? (IMO this is a potentialy security risk if your using public pc to access)
is there a way to make to make the mambo login use SMF cookies ar vice versa (I much prever using mambo)
btw how long did you set mambohacks session time? it seem to log me out way to quick and the remember me option doesnt seem to work well
I didn't really hack anything about the login process. The process is the same as they log without this component. All this component does is call the mambo login and smf login process.

And a great work at that your aproach is more subtle than the previous ortisto integration.
Just a tip: why not make the SMF mod to uncomment the index.template.php so it would not show the SMF login. is this posible?
