worked fine here. Thanks again.

The patching worked fine for me, it was just the config file saving as described above.

I really just needed to know the variable in the forum to call. I'll have to hack it out of the next version.

Cheers.

hey man, thanks for the quick repley...seems like you get a lot of hassle from your users but so far thindgs are great for me !

Certainly i can happy to wait for you to build this into the module, but if you can hack out the 2 lines (I think it's about 2) so I can finish my site (dev.anything-digital.com), that would rock.

Be happy to share my mods also

I want to modify the mod_smf_login module. Specifically, I would like to show the number of posts and forum status (i.e. newbie) to be displayed just next to the avatar pic once a user is logged in. Looking at the existing module, it looks like i need to get the variable from smf with a $params->get call, then place that new variable in the module.

Any help would be appreciated.

Well, when i say "solved", i mean i have a work around till we get the 2.0 next week.

Basically, everytime you save, the default version of the file gets saved instead of the mofifications you are trying to make. The solution for now is to NEVER click the save button. Instead, maually edit /administrator/components/com_smf/config.smf.php and FTP to update.

To get you started, here is my file (below), which works just fine. Be sure to change the following variables:

$smf_path
$mosurl (you'll need to actually make a menu item pointing to the smf component to figure this out before procedding).

Once you have it up and running, modify the settings MANUALLY until you get it the way you want. Everything thing is '1' or '0' except for $registration_module (smf|joomla|cb|cbe) and $login_module (mod_smf_login|mod_login|mod_cblogin|mod_cbelogin) [options separated by the pipe | ].
