Ok ignore this post. I will leave it on as i've seen some other people that have the same issue, but without deffinative answers.
Problem is simple. It is a type where you have to enter the smf table prefix!
with linux and a small screen resolution the s and the a look nearnly the same,

Sorry for the trouble!

I've read through the documentation and my install was done pretty much exactly like that. Except i am not using CB
At this stage the component works only one way. If i log in via SMF then i have access to virtuemart and the classifieds component "market place".
But if i try to log in from the front end it gives me the log in failed error.
Even if i try and reset a password, that still does not work.
In the bridge install screen i can not syncronize the users. It said that it is done, even after a complete reinstall of the component. Deleted cache in joomla, and cleared session data from the db.
If I click on verify next the the sync option i get some strange sql erros as well
Versions:
=========
Joomla = 1.0.11 Stable
SMF = 1.1RC3
Bridge = JSMF_2_0_RC3_1
Problem looks like another one in the forum under password problm, but is not the same as i am using the right version of the bridge and smf

SQL Error on verify:
 Failed:Error verifying user synchronization.: db_error:Table \\\'XXX.XXX_members\\\' doesn\\\'t exist SQL=SELECT count(*) FROM XXX_members LEFT JOIN XXX_users ON XXX_users.username=XXX_members.

Ok I have started to install component and when i install it i am getting this:

in stead of what they say i should get which is:


Then further, If i click on components -> Joomla smf forum -> Install I get an empty joomla screen, About gives the same empty joomla screen, and with configure, it loads the configure panel but without joomla present. There is also no buttons anywhere to save etc..
Any one know about this?
I am using the latest Joomla! and the latest SMF (RC3)
