Joomla Forum

Ok, here is Joomla-SMF 1.1RC2.  Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I didn't get as much testing in as I would have liked.  This version has been tested with Mambo 4.5.3h, Joomla 1.0.5, 1.0.7, 1.0.8 and SMF 1.1RC2.  I will address issues as they come in.  Things to expect in this release:

1.1-12. Added option to redirect to joomla always on logout
1.1-13. Added check to make sure we at least have a username on login otherwise error
1.1-14. task undefined error msg resolved
1.1-15. JACL plus causes user menu to disappear resolved
1.1-16. Gallery2 compatiblity
1.1-17. Redirect to joomla main on logout bug(patch1 version)
1.1-18. Session lifetime issues(patch2 and patch3)
1.1-19. Logins not being redirected correctly(thanks Steven)(patch 4)

Additionally, stay logged in forever should work for both SMF login and Joomla login. 

Things that will not be in this release
AJAX fixes(Kevin, need to talk to you about this
CB profile fix(there are additional things to consider for this fix)

Known issues
SMF registration does not sync to Joomla until Joomla login(this is pretty much impossible to resolve at this point due to the clean functionality of SMF)


Things that I will begin to work on for JSMF 1.2 if this release is solid:
# Change or delete users and usernames integration
# Synchronizing changes in users between all 3 systems(Joomla/SMF/CB) if possible
# CB profile links instead of SMF links when CB is in use
# CB avatar instead of SMF avatar when CB is in use
# CB plugin should wrap SMF profile in CB profile possibly as another tab or vice versa if possible
# CB private messaging instead of SMF when CB is in use
# Set member link in SMF to CB member list when CB in use
# AJAX fixes

I'm here!

And getting ready to test this... PM me if you need...

Alright!

1.2 sounds like it's going to be a new hallmark in the joomla community :D

This fix is still not working as intended.   :-[

I'm testing with:

- Joomla 1.0.8
- SMF 1.1 RC2
- Joomla-SMF 1.1RC2
- Forum is wrapped
- Registration module to use is checked for Joomla/Mambo
- Firefox 1.5.0.1
- My ISP's Linux server

I carefully uninstalled Joomla-SMF 1.1 RC1.  Cleared all caches (several times at several points to make sure they were not having any negative impact).

Loading and installing Joomla-SMF 1.1 RC2 went smoothly.  So did (and does) most of the configuration options.  Previous problems with patching and unpatching files have gone away. 

But there are problems with choosing the option "Always redirect to joomla main on logout:"  If you choose "Yes" then "Save", revisiting the "Configuration" tab shows the option has been reset to "No".  I have reset and saved this setting numerous times.  It always returns to "No".

Furthermore, ignoring things and moving on to use my site shows that logging out will reset the site back to its home page.  For awhile.  But after awhile (several logins and logouts) it fails. 

Now the site always resets to  the first page of the wrapped forum.  Coming to the site fresh (by typing "http://www.mysite.net/sitename" in the address bar) takes your browser directly to the first page of the wrapped forum.

Naturally, this is confusing to my users.  They are presented with two login screens on the first page they see, one for the site and one for SMF. They usually make the wrong choice.
 
Do you have any suggestions as to what to do to make this thing work as we want it to?

Yep, I just saw this, it is a problem with the way the radio selections are display for that variable.  This would also cause it to always be yes.  I have attached a patch to the first post.  Please unzip this patch into the directory administrator/components/com_smf/.  Alternatively you can download the entire package again which I have also updated.
Some of that doesn't sound right.  Try the new version and tell me if it has been resolved.

- Joomla 1.0.8
- SMF 1.1 RC2
- Joomla-SMF 1.1RC2
- Forum is wrapped
- Registration module to use is checked for Joomla/Mambo
- IE 6 SP2
- ISP's Linux server

I tried the new version and so far all seems to be fine except I have to go to SMF to log in. If I login from Joomla/front of site I get: "You are not authorized to view this resource.You need to login."

did you synchronize the users?

Yes, all that appears now is [Done]verify

I also tried using the wrong password on the frontend and I did get a wrong password warning so it does recognize me at that point.

I also noticed that when I sync user it creates 12 blank(empty) users in SMF. If I delete the ghost users in SMF and re-sync creates them again. The amount of users in Joomla admin show 117 in the list but at bottom of page it says results 101 -132 of 132. I don't have cache on in Joomla and my cache folder is empty cept for the html file. I used the SMF/Joomla bridge from the SMF site in the past but removed the code that was inserted in the template. Hope this helps some.

ok, I'll take a look tomorrow.

Ya, get some rest and thanks for all your work on this.

Yes, thank you.  This seems to work fine now.  I am impressed that you fixed this so quickly.   ;D

-Wolverine said: "Some of that doesn't sound right.  Try the new version and tell me if it has been resolved."

It appears to depend on what I have as a menu item link as the first menu selection in the left-hand column of the site's first page.  If the first menu item in that location is the link labeled "Home", whenever I log out from anywhere in the site (or forum) the site automatically returns to the site's home page. 
 
If the first menu item in the left column on the first page says anything else (like "Hal's Page"), logging out from anywhere on the site returns you to what is selected by clicking that first item.  Like a wrapped version of Hal's Page. 
 
So right now I need to insure that first menu selection says "Home" in order to make it work the way I want it to.

Perhaps I should mention my Joomla site is based on a modified version of the madeyourweb template?  You can view it here if you like: http://www.oflanagans.net/NorthCalViews .

I never even thought anyone wouldn't have Home as the first item.  I wonder if some of the logic of joomla causes the odd behavior based on what is in first place?  I would leave home in the first place for now until we have a clearer picture of the ramifications of changing that.  Glad it is working now for you!

I can login fine, but now i have a problem with time session on SMF.
When i connect after awhile the session of smf has expired, i see as connect but only on home, not on smf.

J 1.0.7
SMF RC2
SMF Login 1.4
J-S RC2

Another issue:
When i deleted an user of joomla this sync with cb but no sync with smf.

Hi, I installed that - now I've problems with any Login-Form.
When pressing the loginbutton, a blank site with following error occurs.
I did unpatch the old Version and uninstall it, installed the new by manual. everything worked fine without errors...

So it is or isn't working after the install.  And... I just don't know what to think about that error message.  I can rework it using a different variable but that seems very odd.

what i wanted to say is, that installing the component went without any errors.
the error listet above occured, when i tried to login after installing the new version.

I am getting a similar error whenever I try to log in:

"Fatal error: Cannot use object of type joomlaVersion as array in D:\htdocs\ncvonline030406\administrator\components\com_smf\functions.smf.php on line 1105"

But only when I try logging into my Windoze XP version of my site (my test site).  I do not get this message at all when logging into my ISP's linux-based version of my site. 

This is odd because they are supposed to be duplicates of each other (the PC version being a downloaded copy of the linux version).  Everything else on the two sites works the same.  I just cannot log into the PC version.  Odd.

basically, the error message is telling us that I can't have access to a global variable which stores the version, ie. Mambo or Joomla.  This is definitely server configuration related, ie Apache vs IIS or maybe even php.  I can do it another way I think...

I have the same error when i try to log in on my testsite http://dev.inlinespeedskaten.info

Try this patch for me, I don't have this issue so I think this will patch the problem but not 100% at this point.

Extract this file to administrator/components/com_smf/

Let me know if this fixes the problem

This patch works ;)

Great, thanks for testing!

Yep!  Patch2 worked for me too!

Thank you so much.   :D

it's so tragic, it does not work for me. what am i doing wrong?  :'(

I update to J 1.0.8 and RC2+Patch1 and i experience same issue

Same by me...

Ok, let me rework the session times.  Thought I had this whipped, but apparently not.  Expect a patch today.

would it help, if i offer you an account for joomla and ftp? i'll be out for the next 3 or 4 hours (i've to leave immediately), so i can setup that, later. you could use it to see the problem an test it yourself...

I can replicate this on my site, but thanks for the offer.  It just sucks because you have to leave and come back later to see if it worked or not.  But I found some things that I think will help.

Wolverine,

Just upgraded to all the latest and still have problems. When logging in, CB Login Mod, it gives a popup that says "Incorrect username of password, please try again." After you click on OK you are logged into joomla and if you were previously logged into SMF then you are still logged into that, if you were not then you still are not.

If logged into both and I logout of SMF I am also logged out of Joomla. Still seems to be a one way connection on mine. I do have the CB-Auth plugin installed, published and set to public. My guess is that 1.2 will help with this.

Thanks for all your hard work,

Yep, Joomla always uses the top item in the main menu as the front page - that's by design.

It's simple.
- Login to web with remember me activated
- Close the navigator.
- Change the pc's date/time.
- Enter to site and check if it worked

great call kirck!  ;D  Don't know why I didn't think of that before!  With this testing method I believe I have resolved this issue.  Check my work?  Extract this patch to administrator/components/com_smf and give it a go.  Let me know the results.

edit:  CB login users will need version 1.0.2 for this to work for them.  I will be uploading the update next. 

Hi Wolverine,
believe me, I'd really like to say something else ... no, it doesn't work, yet :-[

Try to logout the sessions and/or clean the cookies.
I tried it, and work it :) well... when i tried one year of date different smf still connected but joomla not  ;D ;D ;D ;D


- Can it be possible that if one of two sessions not connect, disconnect automatically the other?

- I change the code of functions.smf.php on functions syncMamboToSMF and syncToSMF to sync with username instead of name(realname), can you give the possibility of select this option on admin?

- When i login, i can see the username and password on bar direction:
http://www.SITE.com/index.php?option=com_smf&action=login2&hash_passwrd=0&user=USERNAME&passwrd=PASSWORD&cookielength=-1
Thanks for your great work Wolverine

one year is the limit of remember me for joomla(hard coded).  SMF is different, but it isn't set much longer than a year at this point.

we can do that if joomla is the one that disconnects, however, if smf disconnects there is no way to synchronize that with Joomla... 1.1 might allow for that tho! ;D
post the code, I'll review it and see how to add this as an option.  Thanks in advance for the help.  ;D
yep, thats about the only way to currently synchronize the logins.  Again, joomla 1.1 should help with this.  ;D

I change the row->name to row->username of inserts, if we change row->$Var have the same effect, no?  :)

I'll mark it down to be worked on for 1.2.

Here is the latest guys, Joomla-SMF 1.1RC2 including patches1-3

If things look good with this I will clean up the comments and release Joomla-SMF 1.1(FINALLY!)

Thanks to everyone for your continued help!   ;)

patch2 worked!
Thanks

Trying ;D, if i find any issue i post here

Thanks for all

Hi Wolverine,
I uninstalled the old component and reinstalled the new package. Now, my problem seems to be resolved. :)
Thank you for your fast and tireless support!!!!!1(http://www.joomlahacks.com/smf/Themes/MamboHacks/images/post/thumbup.gif)
I'll keep on testing and let you know, if something goes wrong.
see you,
Bene

- When i delete a user on joomla not sync on smf_members.
- If i change the password of user this not sync to smf.
--EDIT-- Now no appears this  ???
- When i click on logout, automatically go to smf and display this

I have read this entire post a few times along this week and i will wait a few days to update my Joomla-SMF bridge with patch 2 and 3 in order to solve that session problem.  ;)

But i would like to refere a Gallery2 problem i have, because i have no G2 compatibility with the last version of the bridge plus patch1.  :(

If i enter directly to g2 everything goes fine. Hundreds of users use their albums qithout any problem. If i enter to joomla and then use the link to G2, it shows sidebar and knows i am logged, but G2 does not respond to any command :'(. Add album, delete, edit permissions, move, nothing works. I does not matter if i try to use them from sidebar or from combo box under album. It going to make my users cry in a few days ....  :'(

I have 4theweb bridge installed (last version) for G2

Neither of these are implemented at this point.  If you read the first topic it states these are being looked at for version 1.2.
There is a small chance for this to happen.  Set the option redirect to joomla main on logout and you shouldn't see this. 

jijiji ::) sorry

i have the option on logout go to joomla enabled. Dont worry about this.

Thanks

When I try to log in I get the following error:

"Please complete the username and password fields".

latest cb plugin doesn't work, users can't login onto forum AND joomla
patch 1 did work, the newest doesn't!

CB team and devs are willingt to help, you may join 3rd party club so you have some advantages, beat talked about it already zo why don't you join?

well for one, I have no idea where or how to do it.  :P  Please be specific, are you saying that this isn't working with CB login 1.0RC2 or the newest dev version?

i'm saying that the latses cb smf plugin does not work

no joomla login is possible and no forum login is possible

simple as that don't it?

tested with latest joomla version and CB 1.0 stable testbuild 1

This is what I am saying.  The plugin has not been tested on that build so the fact that it doesn't work isn't news.  However, to the people visiting the forums this kind of information can be misleading.  I realize it does not work with CB 1.0 Stable testbuild but that is not what these users are using at this point.  So to avoid confusion, please post that it doesn't work with the test build yet.  Thx  ;) 

Fernando i have the same problem with G2 and Joomla-SMF 1.1 RC2. Integration works like a charm in fresh installation of Joomla-SMF-Galler2 but seems to have problems after updating. Don't know exactely what it is, however my G2 didn't work at first: i could surf the galley but not manage.
Surprisingly one day i woke up and G2 worked, again, don't tell me why :)
Probably it's a cache problem. I suggest you to Clean the Gallery cache, logout from Joomla, and Gallery (try separately too), delete your browser cache and cookies. Also try to reinstalla the G2 bridge.

When Wolverine fixed Gallery2 integration i was about to say that that fix worked for me only in a fresh installation. Before posting that i noticed that my site worked so...

can anyone please help me with this?  ???

just to say, it won't be weeks before the stable will be released so i hope it will work till then

we are behind here, not ahead, unfortunately.  Don't get me wrong, I am glad you are keeping me up to date, thank you.  Can you send me some info about the 3PD stuff?  Thanks!  ;)

as a 3PD member of the CB community you'll know a lot more then you know now and you'll have acces to the latest builds so that you can keep your components up to date with next releases.
I would advise you to contact beat on joomlapolis or nant zo they can give you a lolt more info than i can give now ;)
one thing, it has more advantages and i know that CB is willing to help you in the development of the plugin ;)

Is this likely to be fixed in the next version of the Joomlahacks bridge?

Thanks

No.  The way SMF handles variables is not nice to any CMS.  Short of recoding large parts of SMF this can't be fixed at this time.  It is a minor inconvenience, the first login will fail but the second will succeed.

thanks for your work, bridge works good now

2 questions:
- Should the CB avatar be displayed in the forum? It doesn't work anymore and I think it worked before I made some updates  ???
- are there any packages in SMF that should be installed?
- how long should be the login-cookie (at me default 60 min., should it be equal than the Site Session Lifetime: in joomla global config?

regards :D

Quick question, I have the Joomla-SMF Forum 1.1RC2 (p1-3) component installed and my admin screen looks like things are still broke.  Is the attached screen shot true or did my upload fail in some way?

Thanks

I would say reinstall it! My panel looks different...

uninstall and install, no overwrite the files.

Just updated Joomla to 1.0.8.3 (unofficial patch 3)
from here: http://joomlaforum.ru/index.php/topic,1293.0.html

Login with mod_smf_login not works. Login from standart module not works
Updated joomlaSMF to 1-3 and then 1-4 patch does not any difference.
after 1-4 after login I got redirected to forum where is error message that I need to login again after 5 sec.

Re-upload fixes all.. :-)
