Hi Wolverine,

pls find enclosed

Wolverine, i started to translate to turkish language. I'll try to send it tomorrow.

I am moderator at www.joomlaturkiye.org and i am tring to answer smf bridges there.

It is very nice to have a language support.

By the way are there any solution to solving session life time problem?

This is a long thread with a lot of the same issues I have been having TRYING to get the SMF bridge with mod_joomla_smf_login_1_4_1 working over the past THREE days.

Here is my configuration:

Joomla 1.0.8
SMF 1.1-rc2
joomla-smf 1.1.02
mod_joomla_smf_login_1_4_1
PHP 5.0.5
Apache/1.3.36 (Unix)
mysql 4.1.18

The patch and mod install run fine. But if I use the mod_joomla_smf_login_1_4_1 - I ALWAYS get the "Incorrect username or Password. Please try again." message when I try to login. (I can get to Administration GUI fine) I finally started looking into the code and right off see problems with the doMamboSMF() function in /administrator/components/com_smf/functions.smf.php.

I see 2 variables used within the function that are not declared. #1 is "$data" and the other is "$err". I thought it was a problem with my register_globals being set on - so i set them off - but still the same problem.

If you look at the switch case statements - how would any of them be executed if the switch statement itself (isValidUser($data, $username, $password)) ALWAYS returns false (because $data is unknown)

That explains why I always get the _LOGIN_INCORRECT alert that is after all the switch options.

After 4 years of struggling with phpNuke and the zillions of bugs introduced by hundreds of mods and hacks to the core code over the years - and no one to step up and fix the core code - I switched to Joomla a few weeks back because I was impressed by the professionalism of what appeared to be an organized project team. I'm starting to have my doubts and fear it will be right there with phpNuke in no time - but that's another topic in itself.

p.s. sorry for letting off steam - I'm just an old 50+ burned-out programmer who's sat in a house with broken AC all weekend in 85 degree weather trying to get the family website (that I promised would be running before the holiday) up and running again.

Hi,

I'm using CB Login, so I can't specifically address the problem you are having with smf_login; however, I did want to point out that, at least in my version (1.1.02) isValidUser($data, $username, $password) is passing the first ($data) argument by reference ... i.e. it is an OUTPUT parameter.

You might want to turn on debug mode in the admin config settings, or stick a few debug printouts in the isValidUser() function to see what is going on.

Hope that helps,
Patrick

I've synched them several times - even after reading this post and I still have the above issue that phil lists -- cannot log users in through the log-in mod (latest version) - they can only log-in from the forums.

The users that registered before the J!1.0.8 update can log-in from the log-in mod however.

J!1.0.8
SMF 1.1 RC2 + security patch
J!SMF 1.1.02
Log-in 1.4.1

Aloha!

Not sure I understand your registration question - I use the 1.4.1 log-in mod for J!SMF

I log-in via the log-in mod on the home page

Mahalos for looking at this!

Mahalos for checking  - I think I noticed something - which may be of note - after I upgraded to J!1.0.8 and RC 1.1 RC2 I had people who registered automatically activate - until recently (1 week ago) I switched it to send email to activate account.

Now w/ accounts made before I changed the settings to email activate they cannot log-in via the mod - only the forums.

After I switched the setting to activate via email, they have no issues w/ log-in from mod or forums.

Is there something I need to set to update the people who registered before the change to account activation via email?

Am I making sense?
