In your .htaccess file try commenting out the line :

This is the most common .htaccess problem I come accross on the Joomla forums

Does anybody have any advice as to how I go about doing this?

You modify your SMF template

Hi, basically I have the smf trader addon installed on my smf forum. But I am using CB profiles, so what I want to do is to display this in a new tab.

This means creating a new plugin for CB which displays the trader details in the tab. But I don't know how to go about doing this.

Do you have any advice on how to go about doing this? I had a look at the profile hacks, but I don't want to display the whole profile, just the smf trader stats. I also want the ability to submit new feedback, so I will have to change the way the the SMF trader system works slightly.

But for now, all I want is a tab with the Trader info, and a link to add feedback. Please see the second link, I want that content displayed (excluding the contact info) in a CB tab.

Any assistance would be much appreciated

My forum profile unwrapped.

Smf Trader Stats in wrapped mode (image problems due to path)

Is the menu link a component link or a url link?

Check redirect to Joomla home on logout to enable

After doing a search I found that some people are having similar problems, but I couldn't find a solution. Basically, the bridge syncs the avatar from CB and displays it in SMF. However, there appears to be a problem with the auto resizing, in the sense that SMF does not resize the images properly, it just displays them as a 65x65 image - the max defualt size. I tried setting the size in CB to be 65x65 also, but to no avail.

SMF is by defulat meant to use html to resize the images, but this seems to be failing, maybe because it is no longer handling the images directly, but rather just calling them.

Are there any solutions for this, I am using the most up to date versions of Joomla! CB and SMF.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Well, as hitting the tv sometimes fixes it, so it seems a reinstall has fixed my problems. I reinstalled SMF, reapplied the patches and everything seems to be working fine! Fingers crossed.

Thanks for the help Wolverine

I upgraded to the latest version of CB today, thinking it might help, but still no luck. When registering new users the user is not created in SMF.

I am using CB 1.0.2, Joomla 1.0.11 Stable, SMF 1.1 RC3 and JSMF 2.0 RC3

I have register users set to yes in joomla global config, but new users are registered through CB. I am using the CB login also.

I tried reinstalling JSMF when I upgraded CB, but no change. Has any one else encountered this problem? Or can anybody offer any assistance?
To have a play , try creating a new user for yourself (site still in BETA), user validation is automatic so you can input any email address (even fake) and you will be registered. Hopefully we can work out where I am going wrong

Many thanks

I am using the CB Resgistration and I have the cb plugin (cb_smf) installed and published, but I still get the error

Any suggestions, perhaps I should uninstall JSMF and then reinstall it?
Never know, it might work, like banging a tv sometimes fixes it lol... =P

The registration is set to CB in the JSMF configuration, but the users are not being created upon registration.

Maybe it's just me, try for yourself, my site is at www.thestudenthouse.co.uk

Thank you

Hi, thanks for such a great bridge. I have one problem however, when new users sign up they are not registered to use the forums, they do not even have an account with them, so the bridge isn't really working.

I am using JSMF_2_0_RC1,  SMF 1.1 RC3 with CB login and CB registration.

I am the only member that is synced with the forums, ie I have a SMF and Joomla account, and can loggin to both.

Can anybody offer assistance with this?

The problem with bridging is that Joomla and SMF use different sessions, and the bridge does not  change this, so a user can get logged out of smf and still be logged into Joomla, which I'm sure we would rather avoid. The reason being is that SMF has a 15 minute session. I would rather not merely extend the session, because it doesn't really resolve the issue. The solution is simple, ensure that users tick the "remember me" box when logging in.

I would rather not have to put a message up declaring to members that there is a fault and they have to click it, I would rather change the code in loggin so that it by defualt remembers them. Unfortunately, my knowledge of php is limited.

I believe that this is changed in SMF by changing the LogInOut.php, around line 77 :


I assume by setting the never_expire to true, it becomes defualt to remember the user? If not where can I change this.

Also, I would rather not display the option, so that users are forced to stay logged in. I am unsure where to remove the option. I am fairly sure it is just a case of changing an <input type:checkbox...> <input type:hidden...>, I just don't know where to do it.

Lastly, this should solve the problem in SMF stand alone, but will it transfer accross to the bridge version, or do I need to mod the bridged logins instead.

Has anyone thought of doing this? Or is it not even possible? Any help / advice would be much appreciated.

Okay, after having read the manual, I uninstalled smf 1.0.8 and am now running smf 1.1 rc3. However, I am still received the error that it could not open.

However, this was because there were incorrect file permissions on the index.php in smf (lucky guess). After chaning it the com installed no problems.

Just thought I'd mention it in case some one else has similar problems.

Thanks for a great bridge, it will truely revolutionise admins of joomla!/cb sites. Now we can have a forum with some real functionality. Thanks!

Hi, I am trying to install the bridge. I am using Joomla! v1.0.11 stable and smf v1.0.8. Everything runs smoothly up untill I try to patch the smf files. I receive the following error :
Failed: Code to be patched not found in file: if (!defined(\'WIRELESS\'))/home/fhlinux184/t/*mydomain*/user/htdocs/forums/index.php

The folder location is correct, smf is installed to /forums. I don't know what to do... Can anyone offer up any advice here? Thanks
