My smf profile link goes to the smf profile rather than to the CB profile as chosen in the adminsection and is there a way to get the PM function to use a PMS module?
small update: it turns out that when logged in and clicking on my profile it will take me to my CB profile, however if I go to members and select one of them it takes me to the SMF profile. Any way to rerout them to the CB one?
thanks for the info Philip. Sure, I think I can do that. Let me take a look at the code and see how difficult. It looks like I may need to do one more RC for 1.1 so it is possible this could be worked in, if it is possible.
I seem to have the same problem with the Profile integration in Joomla-SMF 1.1RC1 - Joomla 1.07 - SMF 1.1RC1.
It works fantastic except for the fact that all user profiles in SMF do not redirect to the CB profile pages. Can anyone help me out? I saw that the 1.3.0 mambo integration component has an option to enable the CB redirect but this seems to be missing in Joomla-SMF 1.1RC1.... anyone?
ther is currently no function that links the smf profile links to CB, i hope it could be implemented. But i think for now the feature is not handy because the CBplugin has no feature to edit the SMF profiles...
One other thing, how hard do you think it would be to integrate the gallery pictues from CB into SMF so that 2 avatars don't need to be uploaded?
I've been thinking a lot about the two profile pages issue. It seems to me that possibly the best solution (from an interface rather than code POV) would be to find a way to "wrap" the SMF profile page in a CB tab.
Also, CB defines its "avatar" as "portrait" - also a tab. Simple enough matter to unpublish that and wrap the SMF avatar as a new tab. (I think.)
Hi! I have quite a number of sites, and am currently working on one using CB extensively. As a huge fan of Joomla-SMF, this are some of my ideas (if Joomla-SMF is to become Joomla-SMF-CB, so to speak )
-Right now the user has a choice of CB/Joomla/SMF registration. i suggest that option for login. The user has to use the login module specified in his J-L backend config, and subsequently, all profile links will point to the login specified.
-If CB login is used, allow common avatar through CB upload. Users can simplify things by disabling SMF's upload of avatar.
-If CB login is used, sync private messenging (by using CB's)
-Disable SMF's memberlist, or have it point to CB's user lists
-Member sync in J-L's backend syncs users from CB, Joomla and SMF. Although CB has its own syncing utility, it can easily go out of sync with SMF.
-Sync admin backend actions on all 3 components. Now this will certainly take alot of effort. What i meant is, for example, when i delete/activate etc a user in joomla, it will also do the same for CB and SMF (or just SMF if there's no CB). This will need "Patching" of joomla backend files. probably too troublesome.
-Somehow allow certain forum related settings to be set from CB, like signatures, time offset. The user can create these extra fields under CB, or even have the bridge auto create them. And when users update these fields in CB, it updates the relevant smf_tables.
That's all i can think of in my wishlist Right now i think what's on the minds of most cb-joomla-smf users is synchronizing avatars and private messenging, and maybe signatures. Since these 3 are the most commonly used board user setting, if they can be done CB-side, so to speak, then admins can totally shut down SMF's Profiling feature (view own and others' profiles) if they deem it unimportant.

smf.php is the key. (In the SMF ORTISO bridge) It does a string replace on the buffered output from SMF and touches up the links. It works quite well and you can add your own string replacement function to rewrite any link within SMF be it AVATAR or PM or ICQ etc.
Too caveats. You have to turn of GZIP compression in the SMF (which they recommend) You can still turn on GZIP within ZOOMLA itself.
2. The link should exist in the buffer and not generated by Java/Javascript on the fly. Not had many Javascript buttons except in a few unecessary SMF mods so all is well.
I've been using it since January and feel it is quite stable. Have had NO login/log out issues (that were not of the RTFM variety! )

Thanks for the tip! I'll certainly look into it

thanks, good list, we will take all of these into consideration. First and foremost is the profiles.
I have another issue, which I havent't seen mentioned:
In the PM inbox, when I click on the subject of any message, it gives me a HTTP 404 error. Any ideas, why this could be? Without the bridge it worked fine. I have Joomla 1.0.7 and Joomla-SMF 1.1 RC1 installed (of course). I don't have CB installed.
