On the whole, no problems. All works well. Nice work :-) Thanks.
However, one issue. From the home page and using the Joomla login module, when I click the login button without entering any information, then I am routed to the SMF forum. In addition, there is no error message displayed. (This happens with both the standard Joomla login module and the Joomla-SMF_1.1RC1 login module.)
Integration mode: Wrapped Hide emails: Yes Always redirect to forum on login@ No Reg module: Joomla
Further clues:
a)
I am using search engine friendly URLs. When in the SMF forum this looks like this: http://.../component/option,com_smf/Itemid,32/
However, after the above mentioned failure, the URL looks like this: http://.../index.php?option=com_smf&task=login&mosmsg=&mosmsg=%3A+ which is clearly wrong.
If I switch off search engine friendly URLs, then the corresponding URLs look like: http://.../index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=32 http://.../index.php?option=com_smf&task=login&mosmsg=&mosmsg=%3A+ and, as before, the forum is displayed when it shouldn't be.
b)
When I try to login with a user that exists, but I use the wrong password, then the usual "Incorrect username or password. Please try again." pop-up appears. So, that works okay.
c)
When I login with the correct information, everything works just fine: I remain on the HP, I can navigate to the forum and use it okay, and so on. The sun shines brightly.
The URL for my forum is: http://.../component/option,com_smf/Itemid,32/
After an incorrect login, the URL is: http://.../index.php?option=com_smf&task=login&mosmsg=&mosmsg=%3A+
No login error is displayed. The page shown is that of the SMF forum. However, in normal use, there is no right hand column when I display the SMF forum - this column is visible on many other pages, but not all.
So, there are number of problems here:
there is no 'login failed' message
the Joomla content is changing to the SMF forum, instead of retaining the same content
the wrong columns are being displayed - they are not the ones associated with SMF forum
the URL is in an incorrect format - it is not 'friendly'
No, that is not what I mean. If you go into SMF administration your URL should NOT be what you posted. If it is, then that can cause problems. The forum URL for SMF should not be the joomla location with option,com_smf etc. It should be the normal URL. For example, if your joomla link is:
The bridge will make the translation, you should never put the joomla link as the SMF forum URL.
Is this the "Forum URL" in the "Joomla-SMF Forum Configuration"?
I didn't create the link, it is automatically created during the installation process of the SMF bridge.
Actually - presuming that we are talking about the same thing - looking at the "Forum URL" in the "Joomla-SMF Forum Configuration", I see that it contains: http://.../index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=32&
However, this mismatches with the actual link - clearly, I must switch over to Search Engine Friendly URLs after installing SMF.
This seems like a likely candidate for the problem. It's certainly a bit of evidence to add to the pot.
Nevertheless, how does one create a forum link like yours within the bridge. I can do this via aliases, but you seem to suggest that the bridge can do it.
thx, I appreciate that, we most likely will. Both Cowboy and my bandwidth is very limited these days so we are trying to get the few last things finished up here.
i have the same problem with joomla 1.0.8, community builder 1.0 rc2 and the com_joomla_smf_forum_1_1_RC1
I use CB fot the login and they're creation of a user in joomla but no in SMF I'm oblige to synchronyse manualy the both forum with the administration of joomla-smf forum.
