You can set up a simple redirect using .htaccess but i do not recommend this. There have been many issues regarding administrating the forum in wrapped mode (mostly template related), so there may be cases where you'll need to go to the original smf path (www.domain.com/smf/index.php&action=admin) to make changes.

You need an apache server to set up a .htaccess redirect. More help at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html

This seems the appropriate place to post this.

I have noticed that with my site, when I am logged into the front end, I leave the site, and then come back some time later, I am already logged into the frontend.  However, if I try to do anything in the forum (ie post a new thread, find admin area etc), then I am redirected to http://www.mysite.com/forum/  and asked to login again with my password.  This means that I get thrown out of Joomla!

So from then on, I am no longer seeing the forum through the Joomla Wrapper, instead, I am looking direct at the forum.

Now if I implement the code above, I get another problem.  As above, I am logged into Joomla, but not SMF.  So SMF will ask me to login again, but the code above will redirect me back to Joomla again, and I still will not be logged in.  The only way to login to the forum therefore is to logout of Joomla, and then log back in again.  This is very confusing for users.

Therefore, is there a way of implementing the code above ONLY if a member logs into the forum?

Hope that makes sense coz it does to me :>

I couldn't find anything in the manual, but I used the code referred to above from SimpleBoards and put it in the very top of my index.php file for the forum and it does the trick.

Oddly enough, if Joomla throws you out to SMF to enter your password, it does not re-direct until after you enter your password, so does the job nicely.

Do you mean Wolverine...
I thought you all ready using an other Bridge. You where complaining so much about the JSMF Bridge on several forums. 

Maybe next time…
