i need help... i had mambo 4.5.2.3 and smf1.0.7 installed with bridge... now i moved to new serwer and updated both scripts... firstly i will show you what has been done:
SMF 1.0.7 - moved to localhost, converted from latin2 to utf8 (polish), upgraded to 1.1RC2. Installed 1.1RC2 on new serwer and restore database from localhost to online.
Forum works fine as stand-alone SMF - old users can login, write posts and so on....
Mambo 4.5.2.3 - moved to localhost, latin2 to utf8, and then i installed joomla 1.0.8 UTF version on the serwer... database restored and again - users can login and site works fine...
Now - i've installed Joomla-SMF 1.1 component, everything seems to be fine, files are pathed correctly, synchronisation works fine, everything is great...
So i installed login module, and tried to log in to joomla-smf, but couldn't ... "wrong username or password" (an joomla alert) ... tried to log in from smf (wrapped or not) - and got "please fill username and password fields" alert...
I got about 300 users and no one can log in ...
When i try to register - it works fine, but user registers only in mambo (there is no corresponding user in smf), but he cannot login anyway.
When i unpath files - login to mambo and smf works fine
I'm confused, but got go offline, maybe someone will help me in meantime...
SMF URL = http://shadowrun.rpg.pl/forum (as you see it is not in subfolder of joomla - is it critical issue? component config says that files of smf are pathed so i think that it is ok, i even tried /uv/../forum in desperate try ) absolute = /forum prefix = mos_smf_
And I would like to ask you some questions: 1. what't the routine when user logs in? which tables are checked first (maybe i will look into code and find it out myself) 2. is it normal that password field in mos_users and mos_smf_members are different for one user? i tried to copy-paste them but it didnt worked anyway
well, sorry for twice posting but i solved it myself...
problem was that the columns in tables mos_smf_members.memberName and mos_users.name were different collation/encoding in mysql - in my case latin1 and utf8... it is because i used polish version of utf8 joomla... after i changed collations to utf8 in smf table it went fine
maybe it is worth mentioning in faq because some people use utf8 encoding in joomla and could get in this trouble ...
i've no user (exept admin user) in smf. i've 5 user in joomla. when i sync with jsmf no user are created in smf even if it says "SMF and Joomla users in sync."
I have a problem with the Login also. I can login to Joomla/SMF without problems if I login within the forum - but if I want to use the Joomla-Login-Module, nothing happens (no failure notice or warning). Using the SMF-Login Module, an error "wrong username or password" appears. Just have no idea how to fix it or what's happening.
I'm using Joomla 1.0.8, SMF 1.1 RC2, JoomlaSMF-Bridge 1.1.0.2 and SMF-Login-Mod 1.4.1
The error_log is simply stating the feed was down. No problem, that will happen from time to time and the only thing you should see in configuration is the latest version number won't show up.
sorry - I have edited above And write solution of my problem. Error message was in Ukrainan ( and I don't know exact original english phrase, but It redirected from joomla main page to SMF main page with error message (my translation from Ukrainian): Error! You need to wait 5 sec. to login
Thanks Palik for your post on forum... that really helped me! I converted every string to UTF-8 coding but still getting in MY MESSAGES:
Illegal mix of collations (latin2_general_ci,COERCIBLE) and (utf8_general_ci,IMPLICIT) for operation 'find_in_set' File: /home/WEBPAGE/ftp/smf/Sources/PersonalMessage.php Line: 380
Maybe You could help one more time?! In Polish: Niech Ci Bóg w dzieciach wynagrodzi dobry człowieku
I can give you my tweaked files for SMF specially optimized for UTF-8. They are not intended for open distribution, because Lewis media are behaving like a dog on the haystack - they would not develop a UTF8 version, but they would not allow you to distribute one. So if you need it badly, please post your request to the English or Russian forum at http://www.joomla-bg.org/forum and I will share with you my tweaked files. Hopefully not breaking any license
I got all in utf-8 i think and i got login error(with the joomla login too)... I got: Username and password not valid... Logged 2 mins ago, and got logout from the forum... What happened?
Have installed this bridge and can't login anymore... get all the time that my username and password are incorrect.... I know it's not because it's the only account and it's my administrator account...
when I try to login to SMF wrapped into my site... I get the '' You should fill in a username. '' error....
crazy is when I unpatch the index.php of Joomla.... that I can login again....
Did you ever get this problem resolved? My problems are identical to what you described. I noticed in the Joomla-SMF Bridge Configuration page, it mentions...
NOTE: This component is intended for use with the following versions: Joomla 1.0.x Mambo 4.5.3+ Simple Machines Forum 1.1RC2 Community Builder 1.0RC2
If I remove SMF 1.1RC3 and use SMF 1.1RC2, will my issues be resolved?
