Joomla Forum

With the overall success of JSMF 2.0RC3 I am now comfortable to call this next release JSMF 2.0 Final.  There have been minor updates to the bridge to address the anchor handling problem, the pop up windows missing headers issue, and the php memory limit problems on busier sites. 


The changelog is included in the com_smf_2_0.zip file after extracting JSMF_2_0_unzip1st.zip.

The user guide can be found here until it is available in the downloads section.  If this link is not working then check the downloads section under the Joomla-SMF Project to find the JSMF User Guide.
JSMF User Guide (http://www.joshualross.us/downloads/jsmf_user_guide_2_0.pdf)

The package is attached for registered users.  Check the downloads section as well, although it generally takes a day or two for it to be available.

edit: I forgot to put the pre-patched joomla indexes in the package.  Joomla 1.0.11 and 1.0.12 are attached

I doubt this has been check for 1.0.12 compatibility then?

Not the best time to release a final release  ;)

After remembering to patch the joomla index file everything seems to be working fine for joomla 1.0.12 and jsmf 2.0 final on all my sites.

All ready checked here. Works fine ;) so far no problems

SOLVED, my mistake, didn't "save" after entering path.

Works great here!

I'm glad, I've been so busy I didn't even see that 1.0.12 was about to come out.  I'll run through some tests today. 
 

seems fine on or site with joomla 1.0.12  ;D
Only thing I noticed is that users aren't redirected to site home page on log out - funny cos in previous versions it wouldn't work so that users were returned to the same page they logged out from  ::) Not really too bothered either way though  ;)

Got this error :

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 177 bytes) in /home/www/6909aba8fd62682b8814751ede67ee9b/web/administrator/components/com_smf/includes/Lite.php on line 367

@ Wolverine: 

But in the packet 2.0 final version the file was eliminated mod_smf_whosonline_2_0.zip?


Ok (at least to me) with joomla 1.0.12

Really?  I've been thinking about a better way to handle high volume sites and I will be working on a patch.  For now, go into components/com_smf/smf.class.php and change line 394 and 395 by commenting them out. 

This should prevent this error from being produced.  Additionally, turn off function caching in the JSMF configuration.  I'll be working on a patch.

Hi...

i am running:

JSMF 2.0 Final
Joomla 1.0.12
CB 1.0.2

i just saw that there is a problem with notification emails (like new replies posted, etc..)

i am getting this on the email:


after the URL of the topic, the word "Unsubscribe" is sticked to the link, instead of starting in a new line, so it appears as part of the link(blue and underlined).
Same thing happens with the word "More"

i have checked accessing the forum directly instead of through Joomla and repliying, and the email is sent correctly, so i guess it´s something to do with the bridge.

However i cannot asure if this started happening only in JSMF 2.0 Final since before i had not checked this feature.

Any hints?

Cheers,
NiCo

This was reported and is in the process of being fixed.  It most likely started in 2.0RC2.

any idea on how to workaround this in the meantime? it´s very bad image for a site to send notifications screwed up like this  :(

Thanks,
NiCo

On or around line 1251 in components/com_smf/smf.class.php find this line:

and change it to


That should do the trick

thank you Wolverine...that worked  ;)

cheers,
NiCo

after making the change go into JSMF config and click save which clears the cache

Tried both possibilies, of caching on and off, but still the same problem.

I've made the changes in smf.class.php, so let's see what's gonna happen.

We have over 2000 users now :)

Same problem... I will be more then happy to give you backend access so you can see it for yourself.. let me know if you would like access.

do you have cache user array enabled?

Nope.. its off

Big problem:

The convert tool timesout or something while converting my users, i have +7000 users and it converts near 1300, then the script just ask for download index2.php. is there a script than i can run on phpmyadmin for that? or maybe a way to get the process going in parts

Thanks for the work Wolverine.  Installed without noticable issues Joomla 1.0.12 using CB for login/profile

The only issue I am still trying to address is:
- Username is displayed when new member joins site
- Once User updates profile all their post update to display RealName
- Am I missing a setting to revert display back to UserName?

I though I read a previous post which you said this was overlooked in the previous revision, but fixed in final 2.0.

that worked perfect...thank you  :)
NiCo

thank you so much Wolverine!  ;)

G'day boys,

Does this work with Joomfish 1.7, or is there a patch/fix as such?

Currently running Joomla 1.0.11 Stable + SMF 1.1.1 + Joomla-SMF 2.0RC3 (which doesn't seem to work with Joomfish)

Our Joomla is set to use Türkçe and English, but we can't get the forum to use anything but English.

Ta.

Might be having a issue finding your lang file.
File com_smf/smf.php uses english if it can't find the lang file to include so maybe you can hack a hard code to your lang file.

That code starts at about line 92 in the rc3 version of the bridge.

This is an update from SMF profile or CB profile?

CB profile.  Thanks.

Anyone can help me??  ??? (sorry for the bad english, im not a english-spoken guy)

By the way, some characters in the joomla site are looking funny since i installed the bridge, but they disapear on the forum pages. Its very important to me to get this community working before jan 1. My site is at www.lajodedera.com/lajodedera/ if u want to take a look at it.

thats the max_execution_time of php causing that, you can work around that by adding this to your index2.php file


Once the process completes make sure to remove that line.

Hi

I wonder if you guys can help...

I have installed the bridge and it is a success, but when I register a user in SMF, it does not seem to update it when I search for it in joomla admin screen. I thought the aim of this script was to add the user to both configs..

Also when I click on the optional sync username or realname it comes up with the default 'The page cannot be displayed' page

Thanks,

Stephen

I am having just the same problem.

I did it, but im having the same problem, it stills tells me to download index2.php a few seconds later than im cicked the sinc link

Thanks mrmax182. So if we add some code somewhere for the script to specifically use either English or Turkish, then users can select their language via Joomfish as usual and the script will then change the language in SMF? Is that right?

Also, do you know if anyone has managed to get the script to work with Joomfish yet. Might be a handy contact.

Thanks again.

Guys, i have added a post with instructions on how to make Joomfish talk to SMF. It´s easy and it works  ;)

Cheers,

Aloha I don't see the who's online package included in the first post or the download section -- can anyone give me a link to it :)

Mahalos!

http://www.joomlahacks.com/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,41/func,fileinfo/id,455/


By the way, already 24h with the modifications in the php.class file and the forum is still up.

There is just one nasty bug, that i had for eons, it's that the forum changes color :s and when i go to the unwrapped, it's the correct color that shows up. Anyone has a clue ?

Mahalos!!

What is this -- don't recall that being mentioned in this thread - been away for awhile


Sorry no :-\

I am trying to install JSMF 2.0 Final onto a relatively fresh install of
Joomla 1.0.12
SMF 1.1
CB 1.0.2

I am following the JSMF User Guide, and have downloaded JSMF_2_0_unzip1st.zip, both from the first post.  I am to the part where I am supposed to be installing the CB Plugin (smf_cb_plugin_2_0.zip).  Unfortunately, that does not appear to be in the ZIP.  When I unzip it, I have the following files:
cb_plug_smfinfo_2_1_1.zip
cb_plug_smfposts_2_1_1.zip
cb_plug_smfprofile_2_1.zip
cb_plug_smfsignature_2_0.zip
cb_plug_smf_2_0_2.zip
com_smf_2_0.zip
joomap_plug_smf_2_0.zip
mod_smf_login_2_0_4.zip
mod_smf_recenttopics_2_0_2.zip

So, I assume that what was meant was to use cb_plug_smf_2_0_2.zip.  So, I go to Community Builder -> Plugin Management and enter that file and click Upload and Install.  That's when I'm presented with this lovely error message:

So, I had to CHMOD the permissions on that "user" folder from 755 to 777.  I had to do this with a couple of files.

My question (I know, finally):
Is it okay to change these files and folders back to 755?

Wolverine,

 Any other ideas on the memory issue?

were more users synced?  If so, then it is a matter of making that number larger.

if you want a quick fix

ini_set('memory_limit', '32M');

I am working on a patch to completely disable caching.

yes, and sorry for not updating the document.  That plugin is correct.

If all files are patched, both joomla and SMF, and you are registering through the SMF being displayed by the bridge(not SMF standalone), then this works and has been tested multiple times.  If you are reporting a problem please add as much detail as you can.

Hey joomlahacker, great job again!*thumbsUP*.
I just installed the new release and realised no bugs:
joomla 1.0.12
CB 1.02
JSMF 2.0 (including all cb plugins)

EDIT:
Avatar sync with the smf-cb profile plugin doesn't work.There is problem with the url:
http://www.mysite.com/dir/comprofiler/tngallery/butterfly.gif (SMF Url)
http://www.mysite.com/dir/comprofiler/gallery/butterfly.gif (CB Url)

Maybe there was a different directory in the older cb version?

In the errorlog of sms i find this:
8: Undefined variable: av_path
File: /components/com_smf/smf.class.php
Line: 1368

using 2.0 final, SMF 1.1.1, J!1.0.12

gallery images previously did not synchronize.  I reported this problem and maybe it was fixed in 1.0.2?  Can you verify this was a gallery image?  If so, I need to update the process to handle gallery images.

Aloha I'm having an issue w/ registering new accounts - after a person fills in the required info and hits accept, they are taken to a blank page.  I've placed error reported on but nothing shows -- any insights to this?

J! 1.0.12
JSMF 2.0
SMF = 1.1.1

log/registration via JSMF

www.thefold.org

dunno, went to test and it seems Ive already been to your site before.  Wanna delete my account?  Wolverine(joshualross at gmail dot com)  Then Ill go through it again

Mahalos!  I've deleted your account - in addition I also have the problem as mentioned a couple of posts back -- you think it's related?

hmmm, worked for me


But then I checked the registration email and you are having the same issue as reported by Nico (http://www.joomlahacks.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,94/topic,2972.msg14592#msg14592).  Use this fix (http://www.joomlahacks.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,94/topic,2972.msg14595#msg14595) and it will resolve your issue.  And it should resolve the other problem as well, as I suspect that it was causing this not to synchronize to Joomla.  Let me know if that is not the case.

Many, many thanks!!  I'll apply that fix!!

Also when I go to sync users in the admin>component page>forum>install - I get a page not found error.

EDIT: I'm checking your second half of your statement now!  Will report back in a few!

Mahalos!

how many users do you have?

Still trying to figure out why I can't get the username to display, realnames are being shown.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Less than 200 members -- I've made the update to smf.class.php as you suggested and it fixed the activation email issue but not for the admin sych issue using real or user names.

I can keep checking things for you - no worries!! :)

And you have the configuration option Synchronize Usernames Only enabled in the backend?  I checked the code and this should not be happening

so gimme details, you click sync usernames(or realnames) and it comes to a blank page immediately?

will be fixed in next release.

Yes it does - very odd - I even had debug enabled and the page was still blank

I also noticed after it returns a blank page and I check the admin configuration page for the forum that the line 'synch user names' is not selected for either enable or disable radio buttons

I was about to say, I checked and the bug with CB is still not fixed in regards to gallery images however I overlooked that in the profile plugin.  The profile plugin is handled differently, and this is why this is happening.  I just fixed this and will release an update soon.

You are my hero ;D

Can anybody help with the above. MrMax seemed to be having the same problem. I am hosting on Bluehost and there are probably over 2000 registered users.

Thanks

Aloha - I noticed in all the wrapped themes that I use, all the links are red instead of the forum defualt color is there anything I can set in the templates CSS to resolve it back to the SMF template color?

Just one more time ;)

Joomla and SMF templates are using the same Class Id’s . What you can do is: You can look for the duplicate Class Id’s in your templates. and you can rename them in one of the templates. I renamed the most in the Joomla template.


I used for the Webdeveloper toolbar for Firefox. This is really a great tool for finding these things.

Example of duplicate Class Id’s. (the footer Class Id)

Joomla footer (index.php)

SMF footer (index.template.php)

There also other ways to fix this...just search this forum ;)

Excellent thank you - now I know how to start!

Mucho Mahalos!

Hi all,

From time to time (i really can't reproduce it), when i test my CB Member List and klick on a Member... following error appears (see the attached .PNG).

Does anybody know what it means ?

Thank you and greetz
Stefan

Hi,

I have installed Joomla 1.0.12 and SMF 1.1.1 on my Funpic-Webspace. But I always get this error on the top of the Site:

Line 25:
???

your webhost has disabled the php function ini_set.  Due to this the bridge may or may not work for you.  On line 25 in that line you can add an at sign to supress the warning message.

for example:

If you tried to update your username from CB this error would occur.  Refer to the JSMF user guide about the lack of functionality in CB to update usernames.

other notice:
8: Undefined index: extension
File: /components/com_smf/smf.class.php
Line: 1339

This should not happen, if it does then someone has an avatar without a file extension, which should not be possible in either SMF or CB.

Hey all

This is my first post here. Thank you very much for this great bridge. I'm just testing the whole stuff.

Where can I sync the users from CB/Joomlaboard with the SMF. When I click on the link sync usernames in the Backend, I get this huge error:


... and so on.

I hope you unterstand my English  ;D

Kind regards from Switzerland

Sync users from CB to Joomlaboard?

All about the installation an sync users between Joomla and SMF read this user manual for the Bridge.
http://www.joomlahacks.com/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,41/func,fileinfo/id,448/

I am having problems syncronising my users.

The above manual gives the following explaination for syncing

"• Optionally, synchronize your users. If you do not synchronize your users using some method, whether using the bridge or doing it manually, your users will not be able to login."

How do I sync my users. The links sync by username or realname would come up with 'cannot be displayed' pages

Thanks if there is anyone out there with an easy solution

are some being synchronized or none?

firstly I am unsure on how the bridge syncrosnises users. Are they suppoed to automatcally sync when a user signs up after the bridge is installed?

With ver 1 the sync usernames links would sometimes partially work when I clicked on it. Though it did not seem to update automatically in joomla when I added the user in smf.

with ver 2, the sync username/realname link do not work at all. When I create a new user in smf, it doesn't sync up at all either in joomla.

Essentially the bridge is not working properly.

Please help as I really want to get this going

you will have to provide me a site and login details via pm.  Yes users are supposed to sync, thats one of the core features that has worked since inception of the bridge.

Hi Wolverine...happy new year :D

I modified my omponents/com_smf/smf.class.php following your suggestion to get over the missing carriage returns in notifications:

change it to:

that solved the problem. But i have noticed, and i don´t know if it is related to the mentioned modification, that when the topic title includes spanish accents, i.e: "Este es el título del tema" and a notification is sent, it displays properly in the email subject, but in the body of the email, the accents are missing  :(

Any idea why this happens?

Thanks,
NiCo

hello,

i have a problem withs jsmf 2.0, i hope anybody can help me.

Warning: updateusercount(/SSI.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /lspbcjcf/www.lsp.cc/cms/administrator/components/com_smf/admin.smf.class.php on line 688

Fatal error: updateusercount(): Failed opening required '/SSI.php' (include_path='/lspbcjcf/www.lsp.cc/cms/administrator/components/com_smf/includes:.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /lspbcjcf/www.lsp.cc/cms/administrator/components/com_smf/admin.smf.class.php on line 688

sorry i'm a newbie and my english is very bad :(
i cant sync my user from the cbe to the smf, i allways became this error

i use: joomla 1.0.11, CBE Beta1 half 06236 and SMF 1.1.1

Hiya,

Looking forward to getting this product up and running, but I have a problem with installing cb_plug_smf_2_0_2.zip since my host is running Safe Mode ON. For normal Joomla components I use the SafeJoomla patch, but since CB has it's own plug-in installer that does no good in this case.

Hence, can you please tell me how to install the JSMF CB plugin manually? I had a look in the smf_cb.xml to see what changes are made, but it only tells me what files are installed - not where they are installed.

Thanks!

edit: SafeJoomla... not JoomlaSafe. ::)

you do not have the SMF absolute path set correctly, refer to the JSMF user guide for more information.

This is a problem that should be directed at Community Builder since their installer is what is causing the problem.  Contact them at www.joomlapolis.com.

Yes, I know, there's already a number of people requesting a fix on this at joomlapolis' forum. But since there doesn't seem to be any fix planned soon, I was hoping to install manually as a workaround.

The xml file doesn't imply it's that complex to do manually... or am I missing something?

Sorry if it's a st$p$d question... I'm new to joomla.

Never mind. I came to the conclusion that CB is not aaaaall that. A bit too messy and somewhat overestimated if you ask me. Uninstalled it. I'm getting a lot more added value with SMF and its login module. So, thanks for that! ;)

Good afternoon. I have a serious problem and I do not have nor idea of like solving it.
I use:
- Joomla 1.0.12
- SMF 1.1
- Com SMF 2.0
- Mod SMF Login 2.0.3
- SMF Arcade 1.5.1
- My web: www.malastic.com
- Forum in: www.malastic.com/foro

If I register to me through www.malastic.com/foro (using the connection to register itself = http://www.malastic.com/foro/index.php?action=register) it works perfectly.

The problem is that if I enter by Jooma (www.malastic.com) and give register (the route has changed a: http://www.malastic.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=72&action=register) leaves the first window to me to register to me, I give the data him, but no longer it leaves the following window confirmation and it does not get to register.

You could indicate to me that I must do. I feel my level of English, but I am Spanish and I am using google for the translation.

Thanks.

I have a question of jsmf login module.

the option of 'Display Activation Link' only show it when the registration config is set SMF, is correct?

yes, it is based on the registration module configured in JSMF configuration, and will only show if SMF is selected.

Hi Wolverine

Have you managed to look at why my bridge is not syncing properly (someone else seemed to be having the same prob.

Thanks in advance for the help
Steve

I already replied via PM:

I can tell you at least a big part of why things might not be working is that you aren't including the Joomla headers, which includes the JSMF headers.  You template does not call mosShowHead() so your SMF headers, through JSMF, do not get added to the page.

I'm having a real problem with it on 1.0.12.
After a successful installation when I click the forum link I get a blank page.

check in the backend off all files are patched.

Hi Wolverine

I don't have any PM. Could you help by expanding a bit more.

I need to alter thne headers in the SMF forum??

I thought the bridge automatically patched the forum??

Thanks,

Stephen

that pm was sent to you.  Either way, your joomla template is the one that is missing the required function mosShowHead().  The bridge does automatically pull SMF headers into the Joomla header.  But right now you aren't even outputting the joomla header, so your SMF headers are lost.

Check the user guide for solutions on solving blank pages errors.

No clue as to how i could make the accents in the notification email display when the forum topic has accents in it?  :'(

NiCo

i would really appreciate some help
im running Joomla 1.0.12 and SMF 1.1.1

I had a successful install of both joomla and smf, i installed the bridge and it was successful, i ran the patch and it said everything is done, so i clicked the convert users, i have 9000 members and it times out half way and i get a blank page
this isnt my main problem though, the problem here is after running the patch i cant access my site, if u go to my site all u will see is a white page with the word HOME in the corner (www.persianhiphop.com)
when i go to the admin page i can see the login box, but by clicking login i get a white page
the only way i get around this is by removing the index.php and index2.php files in the root and the admin directory and replacing them with the originals
any ideas why this is happening?
really appreciate it thank uu

check the JSMF user guide, I cover this type of situation in the FAQ.

thank u
the admin end seems to be working fine and i did read the faq but it didnt answer my Q as im not really getting a blank page, i can see the word HOME in the corner, u can see this 4 urself at www.persianhiphop.com
i checked for error logs and there were none and i even put the error reporting to maximum in joomla, still nothing, same page with HOME in the left corner
:( please help me :( :(

funny thing is if i access my site using this link http://persianhiphop.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=57

it works fine, and i can access everything on the site EXCEPT content items like  news etc... so if i click on a published article i get a blank page and if i click home i get a blank page too, im guessing thats because i have articles published on the front page? hmm

I think I have find the Problem...

When the Forum has an User, and the Joomla not, for example, "Test", and you will log in with "Test" in Joomla, and Joomla doesn't know, that TEST is exist, than you become an Blank Screen...

The Problem is coming, when you install the Forum and use another Name for the Administrator than "admin"... Is it absolutely recommend that you using the Adminsitrator-Name "admin" ... not your Nickname or so... And then, when the Forum is installed you can use another Name like your Nick, and turn it into the Admin-UserGroup so that you have two or more admins in there... BUT THE NICK "admin" MUST BE IN THE GROUP!! Because Joomla is using the adminaccount with the Nick "admin" and when the Name is not in SMF, you have a Problem...

Also... you must input at First the admin in the Forum... than you registry your Nick in Joomla and than turn your Nick in the SMF into the adminUserGroup.

Bevor you registry, you must delete your Nick in the Forum!

Okay... thats all... I hope...

AND check your Users... When you will log in in Joomla, the User must also be in Joomlas User-Manager... Look in it in the Backend... When the User is not there, but in the Forum, than you must first delete the User in the Forum and then register FIRST in Joomla, and then the User will Automaticaly transferen also in the SMF...

I have this damn problem, and I can't fix it:

When Installing it, it requires of me to provide him with SMF Absolute Path, and I do so: /home/vedranl/public_html/startrekfarpoint/Staff/######
But whatever I write where ###### is, it just repet this damn message: (incorrect path)
It is really annoying!
Staff folder is root folder of Joomla and I'd like the SMF path to be home/vedranl/public_html/startrekfarpoint/Staff/forum, but it doesn't work...

Does anyone know how to fix this? It's really urgent...

no its not anything to do with the usernames, iv uninstalled and did it agian so many times, the problem occurs as soon as i patch the index.php file, iv got joomla and smf both using admin as the username etc..
like i said if i access my site using the link: http://www.persianhiphop.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=57&
i can see the site including everything EXCEPT articles and and news etc...

any ideas why this is?

just for ur info here is a lil more information, this might not even have anything to do with this error but i thought u might wanna know, maybe this could be causing it?:

magic_quotes_gpc On   
magic_quotes_runtime Off  
magic_quotes_sybase Off
Session Directory /var/lib/php/session/ Unwriteable  

turn joomla error reporting to maximum and if you do not see an error message you must check your php error_log.

this is what i can see in my error log (maximum setting on joomla didnt report any errors)
i cant make sense of any of this :S

Also have blank screen when patching Joomla index file.  Seems to be conflicting with both VirtualMart and Product Book components :-(  Any ideas?

That looks like your apache log, not your php error_log.  It is just showing that some of the files being requested do not exist.  Check for your php error_log. 

You can try starting a session just before the inclusion of SMF's SSI file.  do this by adding session_start() just before the line like this in your joomla index.php"


change it to be like this

Sorry, didn't work.  :)

no idea about the product book component... I do know the inclusion of SMF's SSI sometimes problems.  Please run through the steps to get more information from the php error_log.

Have very little idea about php, so this is bound to be wrong :-?

Web host is 1&1 and their FAQs imply that I don't have access to a PHP error log, but I might be able to create it http://faq.1and1.com/scripting_languages_supported/php/8.html.  This is beyond me!  However, I seem to have generate some output by trying what they suggest so it might help, if not any ideas on how I get 1&1 code into Joomla to generate error log. 

This is what site now reads,

error_reporting(0); $old_error_handler = set_error_handler("userErrorHandler"); function userErrorHandler ($errno, $errmsg, $filename, $linenum, $vars) { $time=date("d M Y H:i:s"); // Get the error type from the error number $errortype = array (1 => "Error", 2 => "Warning", 4 => "Parsing Error", 8 => "Notice", 16 => "Core Error", 32 => "Core Warning", 64 => "Compile Error", 128 => "Compile Warning", 256 => "User Error", 512 => "User Warning", 1024 => "User Notice"); $errlevel=$errortype[$errno]; //Write error to log file (CSV format) $errfile=fopen("errors.csv","a"); fputs($errfile,"\"$time\",\"$filename: $linenum\",\"($errlevel) $errmsg\"\r\n"); fclose($errfile); if($errno!=2 && $errno!=8) { //Terminate script if fatal errror die("A fatal error has occured. Script execution has been aborted"); } }
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /homepages/7/d183703408/htdocs/interaktiv/cms/errors.php:11) in /homepages/7/d183703408/htdocs/interaktiv/cms/index.php on line 66

go into joomla backend, go to system->system info->php info tab

What do it say for log_errors?  And error_log?

Will do.  Also, think I might have got the php error log working with 1&1 php

heres the output

http://www.interaktiv.co.uk/errors.bak.csv

log_errors is off
error_log is no value

for both local and master

that is the php error logging, however those are only notices which will not cause blank screens.  If you try it again do you see a fatal error in the log?

thats why you aren't getting a log, but your previous is the error log.  Do you have your .htaccess setup?  If so, add this


Either way, try again and look for a fatal error.  If not pm me some connection info along with the problem(so I don't confuse you with others) and I can take a look.

No Fatal.  Ran several times an all are notice.  I pasted the script into the very top of the index.php file!

Is there somewhere else that would be better?

that should be sufficient.

created .htaccess file in joomla folder but this simply killed the backend as well  :o.  Have sent details as PM.

I didn't receive a pm ???

In your .htaccess file try commenting out the line :

This is the most common .htaccess problem I come accross on the Joomla forums

i dont get a totally blank page, after patching install i get a white page with the word HOME in the top left corner
is this still the same problem? as i cant find any error logs!!! nothing is being written

Wolverine did that PM turn up yet?

purepersian2 my host won't let me access the error logs but there were instructions for creating a php error file. See http://faq.1and1.com/scripting_languages_supported/php/8.html

I added this to the index.php after the first set off comments.  I also created the error.csv file in the Joomla root.  It seems to be logging errors.

im on a virtual private servers n i cant find any php error logs
the support at 1and1 are so rubbish, after 20 minutes on the phone the guy couldnt tell me where to find the logs!!
so i used the error reporting script and put it in index.php but its not reporting any errors, the error_log.log file is empty :S

The 1&1 script I used logs to errors.csv not error_log.log but I did have to upload a blank errors.csv first. ???

I'm just stunned.  Webhosts disallowing an error_log!  I'd demand my money back.  Thats like chopping off your legs.  How are you supposed to identify errors?

Joomla URL: http://www.yoursite.com/

SMF URL:http://www.forum.yoursite.com/index.php

This kind of url rewriting might cause problems with the bridge.  The bridge is designed to rewrite URLs at runtime so this might be your problem.  I sent you a pm, check it when you get a chance.

i just installed a fresh copy of joomla and smf in a directory on my server called  "temp" and the bridge works fine, i guess this means im not having php problems!! so what could be the problem? any way i can fix this?!?!?!

ok iv narrowed the problem down to something
after getting a fresh install to work in a seperate directory i tried copying and replacing all directories in the fresh install with the files and directories of my previous site (the real site thats having the problem)
i did this and found that once i copy the mambots directory i get this error, so im guessing its got something to do with one of the components im running? maybe its conflicting

PROBLEM SOLVED

after 4 days of having this blank screen problem i found the problem to be with a virtual cart bot
namely - mosproductsnap
i uninstalled that bot and everything works fine

thanks every1

thanks for posting your solution

Wolverine,  the forum was setup first on a subdomain.  I've deleted this this morning but it takes 1&1 about three hours to register the fact.  Once its gone, I change the SMF settings from www.support.mysite.com so that no rewrite  occurs.

As for the mamot, I haven't go it installed only the module and component install and its the latter that causes the problem with VC.  However Product Book is component only with is published on frontend, that to causes problem. 

OK removed rewrite for forum and changed smf server settings.  Hasn't made any difference ???

You had Orstio's bridge installed, and his bridge has no process to uninstall the mambot that he installs.  "SMF_header_include" needs to be removed.  I'll do that now. 

Doing debugging I found that the code is failing when it tries to include your joomla template.  Did you make modifications to your joomla template for Orstio's bridge?

Honest can't remember, tried too many things.  Surely if I switched templates then it should work?

Finally!  In the joomla index I set the following to enable TRUE php error logging:


Then I refreshed the page, checked the file error_log in the joomla root, and there is the error that your webhost is swallowing or something:


The error is coming from


which is again the user of the array $func which may be conflicting with another module, meaning another module has used $func since SMF initialized it and therefore all the data SMF stored in that variable has been overwritten.  That is why it says call to undefined function and then gives no function name, because the definition SMF gave it has been overwritten.  Changing this line to simply strlen should correct the immediate problem. 

Change this code:

To this:


This reload the $func array from SMF.  This may cause problems with other components but it will fix the display of smf and your site.  It is working now.


By the way, this is not the fault of the bridge.  Simply, you have other components that use the same variable as SMF does and since they are not in objects or classes there is overlap.  That is the reason JSMF 2.0 so heavily relies on classes, there should be no way that my variables would conflict.  I cannot say the same for other developers and SMF does not use classes so this will continue to be a problem.

Wolverine - you are a scholar and a gentleman!!!  Understand about 10% of what you explained but it works and that is brilliant.  Doubt VM will be interested as their site is full of complaints about bad coding, but will post info on to writer of Product Book because he is currently looking at the problem from his side.  Again many, many thanks.

Having problems with inline post editing when using my forums as wrapped. Without wrap everything works fine.

Got SMF 1.1.1
Joomla 1.0.12
and Bridge 2.0

I'm getting green line "Loading.." at the top of pages but nothing happens. I assume that it tries to load some javascript there and IE error message is:


Anyone can help me?

this can happen if your Joomla template isn't correctly including the custom headers.  This is done through a call to mosShowHead() which should appear in your joomla template index.php file in the <head> section of the template.  Basically, I pull all the SMF headers and add them to the joomla custom header, which then displays it in the appropriate place.  The SMF headers contain javascript to handle this.  If the javascript is missing you will get this error. 

If you have firefox download firebug(the most useful JS debug tool EVAR!).  It should tell you exactly why it failed.  I suspect the header is not correct.

I have:
Joomla 1.0.12
SMF 1.1.1
Community Builder 1.0.2
Joomla-SMF version: 2.0

Joomla-SMF Forum Config:
Registration system:  () SMF (*) Joomla/Mambo () CB () CBE
Login module:  () Joomla-SMF (*) Joomla/Mambo () CB () CBE

Yes, I have logging in problems too.

My current configuration is the best configuration that I can use to get most things working. It is the only configuration that properly registers passwords for both Joomla and SMF. The only problem is that I can't get CB profiles working. CB registration/login for this is hopeless, but I would like to use CB features.

I believe I may have screwed up my system by installing JSMF bridge before installing community builder. I was given the impression with what I read that CB Plugin came with the JSMF bridge, so I thought this would install all of this Community Builder that I knew nothing about. So then when it came to installing the CB Plugin, which was actually separate, there was nothing to install it into. So I removed the JSMF bridge, then installed CB, then re-installed JSMF again. I may have killed something, I don't know. I don't really want to go swimming through a sea of ugly mySQL and PHP code to find out.

I'll just keep tinkering til I get something that works good.

SMF has a nice looking and (from the look of it) secure registration process. Community Builder has a highly customisable registration process, which needs a lot of CSS tinkering to make it look good. Perhaps I can figure out a way of directing the first login to a CB profile creation page... ouch!

Here's another one...

I have set "Automatically reply to topic" to YES  but "Automatically create" to NO, meaning there will not be a forum topic automatically created for each posted news item, unless a user posts a comment to the article.

This works all fine, apart from the fact that the first comment made by a user is considered an initial post and not a reply, which results in the "Comments (X)" shows (0) after the first comment and (1) after the second comment. It's always one number too low.

I guess this is how you've chosen to do by design since it's how SMF returns number of replies, but do you have any suggestion on a workaround to this? I prefer not to have a forum topic created for articles no one has commented.

Thanks.

uncomment this bit of code on or around line 575, change it from:


To this:

Then change the following section of code starting at line 586 from this:

To this:

The code was there, written by Kevin, but I had disabled it for some reason, I think to be in line with the true SMF way of handling replies.

I'm also having problems logging in, logging out or registering on my site.
I run:
Joomla 1.0.12
SMF 1.1.1
JSMF 2.0 Final

I have traced the problem as a conflict between JSMF and OpenSEF. If OpenSEF is off and index.php is patched, everything works. If I turn OpenSEF on, logging/registering does not work until I unpatch.

I have no idea how to solve this, can anyone help?

Thanks a lot, that did the trick. :)

what should i insert in the SMF Table Prefix. Its giving a error. Please guide me  ???

Hallo,

I am using the SMF-BRidge since al lot of versions and first I want to say THANKS for the great work.

Now I upgraded my system from Mambo 4.5.2.3 up to 4.5.4 SP3. Normaly I wanted update up to 4.6.1 but there is the Login-Problem which is discussed in a lot of forums. Well, now I have the following configuration:

Mambo 4.5.4 SP3
SMF 1.1.1
Bridge 2.0 Final

I installed everything like described in the Tutorial, but I get the folowing error-MEssage:

"Fatal error: main() [function.main]: The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class definition "jsmfFrontend" of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded _before_ unserialize() gets called or provide a __autoload() function to load the class definition in /var/www/html/web/html/cms/index.php on line 56"

Could anybody tell me whats the Problem? Is the JSMF-Bridge not anymore working with Mambo?

Thanks for answering. BEcaus I dont get any of the Bridge-Versions working? The last version I used (1.1 Beta) crashed the system after the using with Mambo 4.5.4.

Greetings from Alex

Yay, everything is functioning pretty well on my site. My registration and login works through either Joomla or SMF. CB login and registration doesn't work at all and I don't even need it. I have CB profiles running because of a this hack (http://forum.mamboserver.com/showthread.php?t=31979). The only thing that is pissing me off is that the comprofiler doesn't display correctly in Firefox, but does in IE. The comprofiler uses CSS generated menus which increase and decrease the height when clicking on each menu item, causing the whole thing to jump up and down the page, but only in Firefox. It looks very sh$tty and would really like to find a hack to fix it.



As I said before....

I managed to found some solutions to work. I had to edit xml_topic.js file and change all these:
smf_scripturl + "?action=.." -> jsmf_scripturl + "action=.."

This way I got fast quote working and now I can get to the inline editing form. But when I try to save those editings I'm getting error:
XMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("smf")[0] has no properties xml_topic.js (line 133)

If I refrest the screen I can see that all my changed got saved perfectly. It's just that the page is ain't redirect to the post as it should after saving.

I am also having a problem with a new instal at this part of installing bridge for joomla.
I have the smf running well. but bridge install get to the prefix (by default it chooses SMF_ ) but it says error  I've tryed putting everything there..

Any help would now be appreciated by 2 of use here ;)

Alexander, did you solve your problem? I have the same problem.

version info please. And did you checked the user guide and followed the instructions?

I am having this same problem, now i understand that its because its not properly patching the mambo index files seeing as its all setup for joomla. Then why advertise it as working for both joomla and mambo?? I have searched these forums high and low and couldnt find anything to make this component work with mambo which is a shame seeing as its the best bridge out there!! Could someone please help? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your time.

Hi everyone

I'm having a problem with my jsmf com. When the forum is wrapped the theme of smf isnt' working at all, but when I turn it unwrapped it seems ok. I changed the template in joomla! and it starts working fine.
The main problem is i'm using a modified version of rhuk_planetfall 1.0 (made by friend). The only change i made to the html file is that i added the code from lxmenu.

I'm using
Joomla! 1.0.11
smf 1.1.2
jsmf 2.0

You can see the copy i'm using on www.mno.com.pl/demo and the forum on www.mno.com.pl/demo/smf

Please help :(

Hey Guys,

Kudos to the person/people who make the bridge between SMF and Joomla.

Now, I don't really have an issue, the installation went as smooth as can be. Just a little point for improvement. When I am logged in, I see this nice menu with all the SMF options, including the Calendar. It happens that I have disabled the calendar. When I click on this button, I run SMF wrapped, I am shown a full screen SMF page saying that the calendar is disabled. Clicking the go back link takes me back to my website.

So I think it would be better not to show the calendar button at all when the calendar is disabled.

Regards,

RolandD
