Hello there, I run joomla 1.0.9 and smf 1.1 RC 2. I've installed the bridge and it works fine. I have some questions though: With the bridge, the only thing that happens is that when someone registers he is copied to the joomla or smf database? For example if someone changes his name what happens? Does he have to manually change his info on both joomla and smf? Is there a way to make this automatically?
Also, is it possible to change the registration form and not ask for a name? Cause all i need is just a username.
Is there any virtual confirmation mod that secures the site from automated bots?

currently this funcitonality isn't implemented in the bridge. So yes, he would have to change it in both systems. Yes there is a way to make it automatic and it is on the list of items for future releases. No ETA at this point.
Also, is it possible to change the registration form and not ask for a name? Cause all i need is just a username.
The next release will offer the option of synchronizing real names or usernames from Joomla to SMF. So even if they enter real names, the bridge will only synchronize usernames to SMF(if selected).
Thanks a lot for your helpful answers Another question: is it possible to have joomla or smf ask only for a username (cause i dont need it asking for a Name - what's its use anyway?) Thanks a lot
The name in Joomla is what is displayed on Joomla login module and in submitted content/links/blogs. You can modify the the joomla registration and send in username as both realname and username. Or you can simply use SMF registration although the bridge does only a sufficient job with that.

Yes, this would be great. I will xfer funds and donate some money to hurry this up.
I did notice that if you update account info in SMF first, the update in Joomla is made. However updating in Joomla first does nothing to the SMF account.

same here with bridge 2.0 beta3. I also would need this feature because I use only CB profile and have registered members of a little community in the backend. People should change their name by themselves and it would be much easyier to do this in CB profile.
Is there a workaround
ETA when this feature will be implemented in the bridge? Or does is in work in 2.0 now and I havent found it
