By default, when you installed the package, it should have put the code in the template under the number of posts, as it did when I installed it. However, if you want it at the bottom of the user's info, you will need to add the following at the end of the code segment you posted earlier:


Then, you can edit the member's profile, and use the BBC code to post the image of the award. For example, for [CMx]Scorpion, you would enter this in the post awards field:

Use the attached index.php in Imago's post.

That's good. Thanks for posting your solution.

[I'm assuming you are using wrapped mode. If this is incorrect, ignore this post.]

Check the CSS on your SMF template. If you have the background color of your forum defined it might be overriding your Joomla template background. If that's what's happening there are two easy solutions:

1. Give a class id to one of the body tags and update your CSS. That way each one will read its own CSS for the background (The body for the SMF doesn't impact Joomla in wrapped mode unless your tags are the same).

2. Move the body portion of your Joomla CSS into the head of your template's index.php, so it will override the previous setting.

The second one is shorter, but the first is preferred for standardization purposes. Either one will work, though.

Which logout button are you using? It should definitely work for the Joomla login, and probably for the SMF as well, but if it doesn't work there I can check that out, too.

I had the same problem to start. It's not a major issue, and if you just wait a little while it will eventually update the number to the correct number. Just give it some time and it will correct itself.

Scotty, creap posted a reply to your issue. Try that first, and if it doesn't work, come back and see if anyone else will give it another try.

Joey, all you need to make sure you do is install SMF on the SAME database as Joomla. The directory can and SHOULD be different. If your Joomla is on www.mysite.com, then SMF should be in subdirectory, www.mysite.com/smf, or something to that effect.

All this is talking about is making sure you install the SMF on the same database. So, if your Joomla database is ABC with the standard jos_ prefix, then SMF would be in that same ABC database with a different prefix, probably smf_ by default. After that everything should fall right into place. Ricland's reference to a dump was primarily for cases in which you've already installed and are still having issues.

Unpatch your SMF source files in the bridge configuration, upgrade SMF, and patch them again.

This should work. Let me know if it doesn't and what the issue is if there is one.

SteveO, if you post your Joomla index.php I can either patch it and reply or show you what needs to be done to manually patch it. You might be running into problems with the Google Maps which could prevent the component from patching correctly.

Try the readme

According to the readme there are two kinds of awards: one for profiles, one for posts. I can't say for sure HOW you would edit the post awards, but apparently it can be done.

Which versions of SMF and the bridge are you using? If you're not using SMF 1.1 RC2, this could be causing the problem.

You will probably need to update your SMF to version 1.1 RC2. Make sure to unpatch your SMF files before you upgrade. Once you have that version, you should be set to use whichever version of the bridge you prefer, but the newest one is certainly recommended (1.1.3).

The last code snippet I posted above works for logging in to the frontend without a redirect. The only thing it won't do for you, Bruce, is log users into SMF. If you don't mind users having to log in to SMF a second time, you can start with that code until somoene comes up with something better.
