Joomla Forum

Joomla latest version 1.0.12
SMF 1.1.1  - i dont see a bridge for that, only 1.1 RC1 etc

I have tried the JMSF 2.0 but have problems with users... there is something wrong with how joomla and smf share users.... if i sign up on SMF it doesnt update joomla.

I tried the one at SMF's official website and that had broken forum links, when i clicked on a forum it said cant be found. But everything else seemed to work.

I ask which one am i suppose to have, theres so many?


www.thetechworld.co.uk - currently in a wrapper so i can atelast have a forum but it isnt linked with joomla atm.

thanks

if you sign up on the wrapper link(http://www.thetechworld.co.uk/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,113/) you have published or SMF standalone, no, it will not sync.  On your bridge page(http://www.thetechworld.co.uk/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,99/)  I see you have Joomla registration configured.  If you use the Joomla registration it will only synchronize on the user's first login attempt.

i downloaded the bridge sticky on this forum and this is the first to some sort of work.

everything is in place except i cannot register new users... it  just goes to http://www.thetechworld.co.uk/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,99/action,regcenter/ and stays blank ... any ideas ?


still glad i ditched phpbb, hacked twice

turn up joomla error reporting to maximum in global configuration->server tab and then retry, and check you php error_log.  I suspect something failed.

Hey, where can i find the error_log?

I have uninstalled the other bridges mambots, everything related to smf. then installed this bridg again and it still brings blank page

if you read the error message it is failing to open the SSI.php file of SMF.  That means you didn't put the absolute path in the JSMF configuration.  Read the JSMF user guide for more information.

I have put the path /home/myuser/public_html/forums and it works, if i put the url of my site www.thetechworld.co.uk/forums it says incorrect path and doesnt work.

Okay update.... there was an account already on id "0" i changed that then it seems to work... however i am concerned.

The account i just registered is at id 0 , the next account "admin" is at id 64 in jos_users .. what happend if i reach 64, i get a duplicate entry again? when updating jos_users it starts at the lowest id = 0

but in smf_members it's still starting at id 64 but it is adding the new memebers to 303, after the last member. So jos_users starts at begining and smf_members carries on after last member.

I do not understand why my id's start at 64 now

I tried registering again, same error because the user i registered earlier is at id 0 ....... It seems to only be registering at id "0" ?

I have no idea what you did but its wrong.  If you insert a row in a joomla table with an id of 0 the database replaces that with the auto-incremented amount.  So having an id of 0 is wrong, so very wrong.  There is a post on this forum that I recall where a user incorrectly configured something and it was inserting rows as id 0.  Please search for that topic.

Well, after several hours ... i searched and found the solution... go into joomla database jos_users , edit "id" and put auto_increment on. FIxed :|


after several reinstalls, much anger, it was a few clicks to fix it

unfortunately sometimes thats all it takes.  I know about frustration, been there done that many times.  I'm glad you got it tho.  ;)
