my test site was working fine, but now i have put it all up on the live site, once again getting the same problem. I applied the patch, and it changed it to a \n\t\t\n\t problem.... this is displaying the central post form correctly, but preventing the joomla template from working.

In maybe a related problem, if I use the CB login (with the plugin installed) it tells my members "incorrect username or password". With the joomla-smf login it works fine (for login). If users attempt to request a new password it gives them this error:

JSMF CB Plugin error::Failed to update password to SMF:: table 'XXXX_smf1.members' doesnt exist SQL=UPDATE members SET passwd = '4033c06etcetc' WHERE ID_MEMBER = '1178' ~~~
FROM::/home/XXXX/public_html/administrator/components/com_smf/admin.smf.class.php || updatepass || 1202

(that is after I applied the hack given in the 2.0.2 thread, as I had an identical error with the password reset as other members there).

Finally, whenever I click on "sync username" or "sync real name" in the admin, the page times out... though it does appear to have moved all the usernames accross to the jos_user table. I initially thought I had problems because users had -_@ etc in their usernames, so I edited my user database to remove them all, but it still does the same.

To fix that, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the JSMF component, but get the same result each time.

BTW> I am using J! 1.0.12, SMF 1.1.2, CB 1.0.2, and JSMF 2.0.2 (with 2.0.2a patch).

If I can provide any other info, or you want full access to my site, pls let me know.

I'm having the same issue with the same message. Only happens when I turn SEO on in joomla configuration. My host also has phpSuExec - could that be the problem?

This worked tho - thanks

Tracing the problem I notice that if I force a new instantiation of jsmfFrontend here in smf.class.php by setting $mosConfig_offline to 0:

   function & singleton()
    {
        global $mosConfig_offline;

        $inst_name = "_INSTANCE_" . strtoupper(__CLASS__);

        if ($mosConfig_offline == 0) {
            $jsmf =& new jsmfFrontend();
            return $jsmf;

Hi I'm getting the same error. So far I have tracked it down to Artio SEF or the .htaccess. If I go to Global settings and turn SEF off the problem goes away.

Your Joomla version is: 1.0.12
Your SMF version is: 1.1.2
Your Joomla-SMF version: 2.0.2
Artio 1.4

Everything is patched OK as the bridge works fine without SEF on.

Revisiting the problem 2 days later Artio is not causing the problem so I get the error whenever SEF is turned on in the global settings. Any ideas?

The full error

Fatal error: Unknown(): The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class definition jsmffrontend of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded _before_ the session was started etc.

Please help...
