depends if you have cb installed, and if profile redirection is enabled. if not, users can access their profiles they normally do by clicking on the "Profile" link on top of the smf forums main page.

go to your database admin (phpmyadmin), open the table jos_smf_config, and edit the only row there. Look through the field "config" and look for a parameter "cb_profile". Set it to 0 so that it looks like "cb_profile=0". Save and you're done.

You can set up a simple redirect using .htaccess but i do not recommend this. There have been many issues regarding administrating the forum in wrapped mode (mostly template related), so there may be cases where you'll need to go to the original smf path (www.domain.com/smf/index.php&action=admin) to make changes.

You need an apache server to set up a .htaccess redirect. More help at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html

You are most welcomed On a sidenote, I'm onto something cool making a new module. More news when there're good news

Coincidentally, i came across this issue a while ago:

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,89866.msg455550.html#msg455550

Great work! Finally!

I've installed using the patch without a hitch (without the error messages). Here's a question and a problem

What exactly does disabling Cache User Array do? What will happen if Joomla's user id's and SMF's user id's do not correlate? Will profile links and PM messeges be redirectly incorrectly?

Secondly, adding a poll in existing posts works now. However, the jump-to links still do not (at least for me). Here's an example of a URL generated in the jump-to menu:

http://www.simbunch.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=8&board,10.0/

As you can see, the first part of the url (up to "Itemid=8&") is not joomla "SEF'ed", whereas the second part of the URL (board,10.0/) is. Disabling Function Caching does not help. I have Joomla's SEF enabled.

Thanks for RC3 once again!

Regards, Mike

i'll be looking forward to that
谢谢你

Firstly, and this is purely my opinion, I think sites using CB with this bridge should be using the CB login module. When you use CB's registration and login, things seem clearer this way.

To get avatars automatically synchronized, install the cb_smf_plugin. However I do suspect that the plugin does not sync avatars that require moderator's approval. No idea about this, I've never set it to require approval.

I suppose your best bet will be to disable admin's approval to avatar upload, and switch to CB's login. If you're worried that your users may upload disapprovable images, CB actually allows the other users to report objectionable content. You will still be able to receive such notification through CB's moderators module.

Export your SMF tables into your Joomla DB, then change the server settings of SMF to edit the DB name.

rest assured that this is the better bridge

lol thanks

Unfortunately no...but i'm pretty sure www.simplemachines.org will have a solution. You tried their forums yet..? what's the url to your site, by the way..?

Strange... I've sent you 3 more PM's so far If you could, please leave the IRC server/channel you go to and i'll see you there

The codes you added into your .htaccess arent working. Make sure you have a ".htaccess" file, not "htaccess.txt" file. You will have to rename the htaccess.txt from joomla to .htaccess. If you hadnt made any changes to your htaccess, attached to this post is an original .htaccess with the necessary changes I just made.

You should seriously consider changing your host, or at least give them hell about this issue

You should auto approve, just like what SMF does, since it'll be a pain if your user require the moderators' approval everytime they change a display pic. But if you wish to approve of any user activity, you need to install mod_comprofilermoderator.zip that came with the CB package. Instructions on the use of the moderator module can be found in CB's installation guide.
