Hi,

I mistakenly posted this in the 1.2 forum, so I am reposting here.

I am running mambo-SMF 1.3.1.3 on SMF 1.05 with mambo 4.5.2.3. I use embedded mode.

When the user is on the SMF login screen, and he types in correct uid/password and hits return, the screen just refreshes and he has to login a second time. The second time it works.

Is this a known problem. Is there a way around it?

I am getting the problem of mambo logout going to SMF login screen, and I am using Mambo-SMF 1.3.1.3 with SMF 1.05 on mambo 4.5.2.3.

Cowboy, you mentioned your beta2 will fix this problem. It sounds like you know what the bug was.

If so, would it be at all possible to post a patch for this problem in 1.3.1.3? This way, those of us who would rather not migrate to SMF 1.1 just yet can still get a fix.

Thanks very much.

Yup, configured fine, that doesn't seem to be the problem. Thanks anyways for trying.

BTW - I'm running mambo-SMF v.1.3.1.3 on mambo 4.5.2.3.

I noticed the problem seems to occur regardless of whether you are running embedded or not. You still, when logging out of mambo, get thrown to the SMF login screen.

Cowboy, do you have any ideas what might cause this?

Hi Cowboy,

Do you have any intention to port the mambo-SMF forum to Joomla?

Thanks.

I have the same problem, even though everything is set correctly in the config file to www.mysite.com.

Any more ideas?

(EDIT: Although I just noticed this post is in the 1.2 forum, I am actually using v.1.3, and the problem is still occuring.)

Hi,

Does anyone have the experience that when they press the mambo logout button, they are sent to the SMF login screen instead of the mambo home page?

Is there any way to stop this?

Thanks.

Great teamwork, Guys.

Since you are respectively owners of two of the most significant components in the Mambo world, this cooperation is really nice to see.

It sounds like cowboy may not need this SSI afterall for his own bridge, so hopfully a fix is possible - in which recent posts, recent topics and optional SMF login module will still work.

Hi Michiel,

I believe SSI.php is an actual SMF Forum file, so you would have to download SMF according to Cowboy's install instructions (it's a very easy, automated install).

This is the component link with instructions:
http://www.mambohacks.com/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,40/func,fileinfo/parent,folder/filecatid,30

if SSI.php clobbers the mambo context,(...a naive question...) might it be possible to save the entire mambo context before the SSI require_once and restore it after the SSI require_once returns?

Would this eliminate the issue once and for all?

Don't know how realistic/feasable this is, just brainstorming, and hoping there is no mambo variable which mambo-G2 and mambo-SMF require different values of to function.

Hi Michiel, Cowboy,

It seems the problem is caused by the following line (added by cowboy to mambo's main index.php):

require_once ($smf_path."/SSI.php");

If you comment it out, mambo-G2 works fine.

Interestingly, mambo-SMF also seems to work fine with it commented out (at least I didn't see any overt impact). The one thing I did notice was the module mod_smf_recent_posts ceases to function when it is commented out. That's not good.

I noticed that line also caused problems for other mambo components, see:

http://www.mambohacks.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,78/expv,0/topic,347.msg1440#msg1440
and
http://www.mambohacks.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,78/expv,0/topic,285.msg1349#msg1349

(BTW - I am using the patched index.php from the second thread above as suggested by cowboy:
http://www.mambohacks.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=285.0;id=58

This patch fixed the SMF poll issue, but didn't fix the zoom gallery issue.

I wonder why Mambo's two gallery programs are broken because of this? Is there a connection?)

Anyways, I don't know what about that SSI.php file causes problems for G2, but am pretty sure that's where the problem lies... any ideas?

Hi Cowboy,

I am posting this here because I thought you might be interested in hearing something I seem to have stumbled across. You can read all about it on this thread:

http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=32672&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

Basically, what seems to be the case (I emphasize seems because I am far from a PHP expert, and know my very definite limitations), is an interaction problem between mambo-SMF forum and the new mambo-G2 (gallery2), such that when mambo-SMF is installed, the mambo-G2 will not run.

I think the problem may be caused by some of the mambo-SMF changes to the index.php file.

Michiel_1981 who is the developer of the mambo-G2 component, like you, is right on top of his forum and supports it superbly and proactively. If you are so inclined, I suspect you could easily resolve this with a simple tweak so both of your important components can co-exist in the same mambo site.

Thanks.

Hi Breathwork,

Your site looks really nice. Would you mind please telling us which SMF theme you used for www.breathwork.be? It blends in beautifully with your mambo template.

Thanks very much.

Ok, I know this sounds silly, but...

The problem seems to goes away when you change (in mamboroot/configuration.php):

$mosConfig_live_site = 'http://mysite.com';

to:

$mosConfig_live_site = 'http://www.mysite.com'; (added the 'www.')

I retried this several times. I reset the live_site and the problem comes back. I added the 'www.' and the problem goes away. 

I came across this by chance while debugging another application.

... have no idea why this happens(am almost embarrassed to post it)... perhaps Cowboy can shed some light?

Not sure if this solves the problem or just makes it happen less often. Anyways, so far there seems to be something here.
