ok, I have manually changed the registration for joomla to automatically register new users as authors but I'm using the SMF registration. So the forums is registering them then the JSMF is supposed to sync them by inserting them into the joomla tables but I can't find where the coding is for that so that I can change it to Author from registered for both jos_users and jos_core_acl_aro 

does anyone have any ideas on this?

but when it's set to do it automatically, it does it correctly?  so it's something with the manual code... and I know how you feel, it would be so much easier to have it done automatically based on categories or whatever but I know that would take a lot of work on Wolverine's part. If it automatically creates it and you move the thread then the link is broken again like you've never created a topic on the boards at all. 

I'm sorry that I cannot help you with this, and your English is fine.

I'm not sure if this is referring to the email with the link to activate the account or if it's referring to the error when a user forgets their password...

this is what I've discovered:  whenever a user has the wrong password, which is happening with some of my joomla users synced into SMF, they request their password and get the link in their email... it looks like this:


To me, it looks like the ip address should be included in the hyperlink, but it's not. I copied the link and pasted it into my address bar, removing the end of it: IP: and it worked fine allowing me to change the password and ultimately log in. However, I can't find the file to edit that would fix the issue to begin with. I've currently added this to my list of faq on the forums, but very few users actually read the faq, they just instantly email me and I'm swamped enough as it is.

Anyone know what I should change and in which file?

Joomla 1.0.11
SMF 1.1.1
JSMF 2.0 Final

just a guess, it won't actually fix it, but have you tried automatically creating the topic or discussing all news to see if it works when SMF does it automatically?

thankyouthankyouthankyou... been needing this, even though it's a new install, google searches keep bringing up the forum yet the links are unwrapped. I don't have a link in my forums to direct to the main site, it's included in the template which has my top menu in it to go back and forth between the two   you're a life saver Wolverine!

no, we understand you perfectly fine... on my site, I copied my default template and edited it to then assign it to my forums and only my forums, it's working fine and there are no hitches at all.  However, I have the smf css called, not my joomla template css.  SMF uses different functions and such than joomla does, you will need to manually edit whichever css you decide to use including all requirements for both smf and joomla and removing any duplicates

to see what I'm talking about, just look at the differences in both files... it's going to take some work to make either one of them conform to a wrapped forum but you'll have to do the work yourself. No smf template will fit seamlessly into joomla and no joomla template will fit seamlessly into smf

to see my example go to my site: Neopets Made Easy

I have yet to actually configure my smf css because my forum has only been up for a couple of days.  If the template is only working on the home page of your forums, then something is seriously messed up with the css that smf is trying to pull out of your joomla css, it is needing certain things that are not there

What file is it that I need to edit for the JSFM bridge to register all new users in Joomla as Authors instead of Registered?

I used to be able to do it with Orstio's bridge, but I'm drawing a blank with this one.

Any ideas?

Edit:
*bangs head on desk* forgot to include version info:

Joomla 1.0.11
JSMF 2.0 Final
SMF 1.1.1

using JSMF login module and registering through SMF

Since my username for my joomla installation is lindseyacron, when I installed SMF I made the admin username lindseyacron with the exact same password as my Joomla installation, I've never had any problems with that... my problem is more that users imported into SMF because they were already registered on my site are experiencing login problems, not all, but some get the incorrect password notification, so they request the password, the link is emailed to them to go change their password and no matter what it's the wrong activation code... so then I have to manually change their password, get them to login with that one, then they have to change it... weird, but I never had other problems with it like you are

thanks, but apparently I'm not the only one as I've run across releases later than RC5 before, which should at least count for something regarding my ignorance

I had an installation of smf in sync with my test site and when I tried to change the settings, I got the same error, I ended up re-installing smf and everything onto my live site and just importing all of my tables from the old database... I know it's not a fix, but I was never able to move my smf from one database to another, so my guess is that you will need to do the same... just make sure to backup your databases and then after re-installing, import it all back in there... unfortunately, if you were using the discuss bot you may have to go back through and re-add the coding, maybe you won't... I'm not sure how you had that configured if you were even using it

well, I couldn't see anywhere in the file for the login module where it would do that, I may have to disable the module for unregistered users and remove the logout link from it... that would be a short term fix I guess until we can figure out where it's coming from...

and now that I think about it... OpenSEF did add a trailing slash once, when I configured the frontpage before, it kept adding more and more slashes the more you clicked on the home link... I couldn't exclude it or I had that nasty frontpage stuff in the address bar and no matter what I changed it to, it was wrong

for some reason now, whenever I remove the text in the textbox and make sure nothing is checked for use alias or exclude, it's not saving that preference, so maybe that's the problem... I'll head over to OpenSEF, though they have yet to respond to one single query of mine over there

OpenSEF

well, it was a nice gesture, but I don't have a trailing slash there:

I decided to remove my CB integration, and every since switching to the JSMF login module, I'm getting some weird readings when I login or out using the module...


the link in the address bar is: http://neopetsmadeeasy.com// which is invalid as there's an extra trailing slash that shouldn't be there...

after running into this page, I can click the back button and everything is as it should be, if i wanted to log out, i'm now logged out, if i wanted to log in, i'm now logged in, registration seems to redirect properly but I'm not sure about resending the activation link, though I have had several members register since placing my forums on my live site

I went directly to mod_smf_login.php file but I can't find where it would be adding the extra slash into it... does anyone have any ideas which file to edit to remove that?

you may need to hack the core file which created the Register to Read More link and change it to target the CB registration and login. That link should be easy to determine if you're using the CB Login Module, it would give you the link whenever you are logged out, then you could just hardcode it into the file....

does this make sense or did I just confuse you more?

here's your current registration link
http://www.panda-greatwall.com/registration/register.html

here's what you need it to be http://www.panda-greatwall.com/your-profile/registers.html

so find the file in your file manager and change the target to the link
