ok so I got the forums installed.

http://www.thedieclan.com/stgc/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26

When I try to log in using the mod that you guys have supplied on the site it doesn't work. It just reloads the page. When I try to login from the homepage of the site it just takes me directly to the forums but still doesn't log me in. The only time I can log in is if I login from the user info block inside smf which takes me to this page.

Any help?

ok beofore I go and screw things up again...

I'm about to install smf v1.0.5

I reinstalled joomla and it's back to normal

after I install smf I'm going to install the login module

After installing that I'm going to install the smf bridge. I will keep the lable smf_ as is. This should work right?


EDIT: Ok I went ahead and did it. Everything turned out ok. Im configuring it right now and it says SMF Database Prefix is a incorrect prefix. You told me to keep it as smf_ though


EDIT again: I figured everything out... Thanks

Yikes, thats exactly what I didn't wanna hear... Alright well I guess thats what I'm gonna have to do.

Thanks

Well I definitly did something wrong. This is what my site says now...
www.thedieclan.com/joomla

Warning: main(/home/thediecl/public_html/joomla/forums/SSI.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/thediecl/public_html/joomla/index.php on line 33

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/home/thediecl/public_html/joomla/forums/SSI.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/thediecl/public_html/joomla/index.php on line 33


When trying to install the forums I couldn't figure out the absolute path. The instructions said it should be ...blah/forums but when i installed smf it never installed a forums folder. So I just left it ...blah/forums even though it said incorrect path. Then I changed smf_ to jos_ because it said to make it the same as my joomla and it said it was successful. Then I patched stuff. Then I check to see if I had forums and I got that error on every page and I can't log into admin.


Please help... Thanks,
Chris

wow maybe I should just start over, how do i uninstall smf?

yea... I definitly did something wrong, lol. After installing the forum i get this even when trying to get to the homepage.

Warning: main(/home/thediecl/public_html/joomla/forums/SSI.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/thediecl/public_html/joomla/index.php on line 33

I think I'm having the same kind of problem. Everyone says the absolute path should be ...blah/forums. Except when I installed smf it never installed a folder or path named forums so it says it is incorrect. How did you fix it?

Thanks

Hey. I've seen so many joomla sites that have the "Joomla! is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License." taken off and I have yet to find out a way. Also where in administration can you change the copyright thing in the footer.

Thanks
