I just discovered that Table tags were not interpreted.

Here is a test:

This is a table row

With one column cell

Intriguing, huh?

I don't know if it's a Mambo-SMF bug or if it is a plain SMF bug though...

It may not have anything to do with Mambo-SMF but I have a problem when users register on my site.  When users provides hotmail email addresses, the confirmation email never reach them.
I use a SMTP server to send emails from Mambo and mails are always delayed (status: 4.4.7) when sent to hotmail.
It only happens with hotmail email addresses.

I was wondering how you did to be able to accept users with hotmail accounts?  I registered here with a hotmail account and I received my confirmation email without problem.  So I would like to know how you did.

Thanks

Hi cowboy,

I can help you in testing if you want.
Did you alreadgy made a list of all bugs remaining?

Do you have a bug database or something?

Mambo version 4.5.2.2
Community Builder for Mambo version 1.0RC1
SMF version 1.0.3 with ChatBubbles2 1.0 Theme
Mambo-SMF Integration version 1.3.1.2

Sure, I was looking forward to see it in 1.3, but for now it's not solved even in 1.3.1.2, any luck you fix it for 1.3.1.3?

Cheers

Hi cowboy,

I kinda have the same problem. Hopefully the error is not showed to the users but the SMF logs is full of these errors. I tried to uninstall and re-install the SMF mod, but still the same.

BTW, my website runs on IIS 6.0, could it be related?

Well since my admin real name is admin I didn't noticed it yet

However I'd like that it would be possible to chose the groups for which topics have to be displayed. I have a restricted sub-forum which access is only allowed to a certain group, and I'd like the New topics from them to not appear to Guests and users not members of that group.

Hi EliteRides,

Try that:


On an Apache server
-------------------
1. Enable SEF in mambo configuration
2. do NOT rename the htaccess.txt
3. open /includes/sef.php and change this line: (~ line 242)
to




On an IIS server
----------------
For IIS or if you can't get the above working replace the line with:


There will remain a single ?, but it doesn't matter, such addresses are still indexed by search engines (One interrogation mark is tolerated).

It could also be needed to add this to your sef.php:


just above
if ($mosConfig_sef) {

(line 13 approximately)

Actually I would like to have both: email verification AND aproval.
I want the user to confirm via email and then to let the admin approve it or not.

Is that possible ?

The goal is to be able to chose who can register to my forum.

I thought it would be possible by setting "Require Admin Approval" and "Require Email Confirmation" CB settings to Yes, but when I do that, even though the message stating that the user needs to wait for his approval to login, it is already possible for that user to log in, which is not normal. Non-approved users shouldn't be allowed to log in when not approved.

BTW, I'm using mod_smf_login 1.3.1a. Maybe the bug is there. It seems to allow SMF login when CB user approval is still pending.
Depending the way SMF's registration is overriden, that may be the problem: Only CB would block the user to log in when approval is pending, but not SMF. That's why the mod_smf_login lets unapproved users log in.

Oh and last thing: I don't want to use CB login module since it doesn't have links to SMF Recent Posts, Calendar and Profile.

Any news about that issue?

It's now possible to quote, but spell check is impossible in wrapped mode, the Javascript popup just display the whole site instead of the Spellchecker dialog. I know orstio had the same problem and solved it but your code is too different from his to solve it the same way.

Could you have a look at it?

Thanks in advance

Hi cowboy,

I have Mambo 4.5.2.1, SMF 1.0.3, Communauty Builder 1.0RC1 and Mambo-SMF 1.3.1.2 installed on my server. I would like to be able to have my User Registration process like this:
- User fills the registration form
- EMail is sent to the new user with an confirmation link
- Email is sent to an administrator account to approve the user or not
- If administrator approves the new account, Email is sent to the user confirming he is a new member and he can log in. If not, the user can not log in.

I tried several combinations of parameters and Login modules, but I couldn't have this process work flawlessly. There is always a problem (most of the time, the mails are sent but the user account is never blocked during the validation process).

Can someone give me precise indications ?

Thanks in advance

You're right, PSmith, there are problems with Login modules and com_smf when CB is installed.
Here is what I experienced: If you use CB login module,  login will be fine, but you won't be able to log out, and of course you won't have the Recent Posts, Updated Topics and Members list options in your menu once logged in. But the CB registration options (aproval methods) will work.

On the other hand, if you use Mambo-SMF login module, you'll have the SMF user's avatar, the nice menu options in the frontend, and the logout will work fine. But you'll have a problem with registration, it will use Mambo basic default registration process, no matter the method you chose in CB. The Mambo-SMF login module is apparently not compatible with CB.
Another bug I found is that the SMF Registration activation is never checked. Any registered user will be able to login even if he's not approved.

It seems there is no solution if you want to benefit from the CB registration features (especially the aproval process) and the Mambo-SMF login menu options at the same time. More problematic, you actually can't use the CB login module since it never logs you out.


The user deletion problem is another big issue; you're right, SMF and Mambo user lists are not in synchornized when a user is deleted in either SMF or Mambo. You need to manually delete the user account in both locations to have it really deleted.

Cowboy, did you have a chance to have a look at these issues ?

Thanks for your great work

Any progress on that ?
Because right now, approved registration is still impossible.

Thanks

Update: After the uninstall, I noticed that the //MABOHACKS.COM blocks in index.php had not been removed.
I removed them manually and tried again and... it worked !!!

The problem is clearly due to Mambo-SMF and precisely to the presence of these blocks in index.php. They are including Mambo-SMF files, right ? Well now we may have the culprit

Update 2: I finally managed to solve the problem by setting gpc_magic_quotes to On in my PHP.ini file. That's something you should add to the setup instructions. Could be very useful.
It was apparently just a server issue then. The Mambo-SMF bridge team already had that problem before, and it was documented in SMF support forums.

Thanks for your great component, cowboy, keep up the good work.

I uninstalled Mambo-SMF and the issue doesn't disappear.
I don't know what to think or do...
