I had the same problem and solved it, thanks to Fletsch.

Here's my modified part of the french language file if someone needs it:

Hi folks,

I recently upgraded to Joomla! 1.0.9 and Joomla!-SMF 1.1.3. Everything works fine, but I've got a little problem with the discussbot. Looks like it always quotes 700 characters when starting a new discussion about an article. I changed the value many times, I also reinstalled the mambot, but it simply doesn't care.

(By the way, an option to discuss an article without any quote would be great)

Could somebody have a clue? Thanks 

Okay, I've found it, line 154 

Thanks for the tip and keep up the great work!

Hi folks!

I wondered if someone knew how to change the color of the total number of private messages shown after you logged in. I tried many things with the CSS, I even digged a bit in the PHP file, but this number seems to always appear red. I noticed it's also the case on joomlahacks.com, so I guess it's normal, but I'd really want to change this on my website.

I know it's a st$p$d little detail, but any help would be greatly appreciated 

In fact it appears the Who's Online is still blank when you first come to the site. I turned all the cache options off, for Joomla and SMF, tried on FF and IE, on two different computers, and there's still nothing in the module before you hit F5.

Here's my site if somebody has time to waste, the Who's online module is at the bottom right corner on the hompage.

Well, thanks a lot for your patch, Montty 

I changed the code like you suggested and it works prefectly.

About the Who's Online problem, I followed joomlanewbie's instructions, and thanks to him everything seems to be back to normal. I say "seems" because I needed to empty the cache and close my browser several times after having turned Joomla's cache off to see a difference. The problem occured with Firefox but not with IE, and now it works will both of them... I'll try on another computer to be sure.

Thanks again to both of you 

You're right, looks like we have exactly the same problem. I've "fixed" it for the moment with quite a blunt method. Since all of my other modules use their own suffix, I changed the default module class to fit my old recent topics module style. Not very elegant, but it should do the trick until the next update.

Anyway, I still have this problem with Who's Online ext.

Hi folks 

I'm using your SMF bridge since a few months and I must say it's really a great component. However, I had a few issues after my last update. Everything seems to work fine with Joomla-SMF, but I encountered two problems with the modules.

Here's my configuration:

- Joomla 1.0.8
- SMF 1.1 RC2
- Joomla-SMF 1.1RC2
- Mod Joomla-SMF Recent Topics 1.7
- Mod Who's Online Addon Extensions 1.3

Mod Joomla-SMF Recent Topics 1.7
The module works, but it's impossible to give it a proper CSS module class suffix. My current suffix is _forum. It worked fine with the 1.5.1 version, but since the update, the module class is always .module, no matter what suffix I chose. However I noticed the items class (inside the module) are now .latestnews_forum.

Mod Who's Online Addon Extensions 1.3
For some reason, when a visitor first comes on my site, the module is left blank, nothing is displayed. I need to refresh the page before it shows the number of online guests.

I don't know how to fix this, since I know almost nothing in PHP. I'm not sure if it comes from the modules, from the component or from the Joomla 1.0.8 update. 

Could someone have a clue?
