I found a Joomla-SMF site called girlscantwhat.com. They have the JoomlaHacks bridge installed with the Community Builder profile redirect on. What suprised me was that the Community Builder profiles seem to be full intergrated with SMF. They show posts, post count, signature, etc. Is there a plug-in that I don'ty know about?
Here's a screenshot:

Actually, it looks like a series of plugins I did.
Just released them at Joomlapolis (home of Community Builder) - kinda shocked to see them (or something so similar, don't know if this is mine for sure) pop up so suddenly.
I've actually turned the core files over to the Joomlahacks Team for further development and improvement. I've also done some tweaks to make them work better with SMF installations that are on separate databases.
I'm now retesting these code changes and getting ready to re-post the package. Wolverine, if you want this revised code, please let me know and I'll resend. Thanks!
Regards, Brat.

Hey, gimme a sec! I'm uploading revised versions in just a bit that have a lot of changes that make them useable by both bridges (Joomlahacks and the "official" one).
As soon as I've uploaded these, I will announce it here. It won't take too long.
UPDATE: Version 1.1 of the CB-SMF plugins is posted! You can find it here:
Brat I've just set it up on the w00tradio.net site and its working fine.
I've found a couple little things that bug me..
1) The modify forum profile link is showing to everyone, now granted it won't let someone actually modify it but its going to raise questions from the users.
2) When telling the profile to update your avatar to match the CB avatar it doesn't give any 'update' as to weather or not it worked.

Otherwise, great work!
When the avatar is chaned, there is a small update statement... it just flashes at the very top of the screen for a second then disappears (similar to what CB does). There is a "cache" statement that automatically refreshes so that you can see the change has taken. Otherwise, you'd have to manually refresh in order to even see that anything had happened (which I personally found a bit annoying). I may bump up the font size so that it is more easily seen.
Regarding the Profile link, yeah, I just realized that little thing with the whole "modify" bit. I think that I simply used the wrong conditional statement. I'll go back in and tweak the code some more to take care of it.
Thanks for the feedback!
Regards, Brat.

I've gone in and made the changes to fix the little issues (i.e., PROFILE link, the image update message is now much larger and in bright red, and the remaining hard-coded language references were found and removed).
I've uploaded the new package. You can find it at the following link:
Let me know if there are any other problems. Thanks!
Regards, Brat.
UPDATE: I've gone ahead and attached the CB-SMF plugin package here too. Didn't notice my developer status.
NOTE: The version I had posted previously has been removed, as there has been a lot of code changes, and this version doesn't quite function as it should.

Brat, I had to edit the files to point to the Absolute Path of SMF, but after that it worked.
Also, when a user clicks the "Modify Profile" link, where is it supposed to take them? It just sends me to the board index.
Question - did you download the absolute latest version? The only reason I ask is because the plugin should have detected your absolute pathway. If it hasn't , that means I need to work on it.
Also, PROFILE should now only show up for the profile's owner. There shouldn't be a link showing to anyone else.
Please let me know so that I can troubleshoot if needed. Thanks!
The "modify profile" doesn't appear on other profiles, but it still links to the board index.
"Modify Profile" should only appear for the profile owner (and anyone authorized to edit the profile). This is proving to be tricky to get right, so I'll do more extensive testing tonight.
Also, I'll look at what's going on with the linkage.
I've spent the better part of this evening tearing the profile code apart. Oh, the joy of finding the wee bits of idiocy that float between semi-colons.
Thus far, here is what's been done:
Bridge-checking implemented - the problem with the whole pathway thing was that I only had code that worked with the other bridge. Turns out that the Joomlahacks stores SMF's pathway in a file variable, as opposed to a data field. So, I had to incorporate code that checked to see which was present.
Profile link bug - well, it wasn't a bug so much as one of my conditional variables was wrong. I choose another variable, and now it works as it should. Only a forum administrator (or member given appropriate level) should be able to see (i.e., modify) ALL member profiles. In this version, if the person viewing a profile isn't at that level, that person should not see a profile link at all. I had set it up originally to provide a "view only" link, but it seems this way is overall the best and less confusing. Really, the point of CB is to use its profile... isn't it?
HTML tweaks - some users reported screwed-up formatting. Well, as it turns out, I had some HTML coding that needed reworking. It looks like I caught the worst offenders, but I'd like to go through it one more time just in case.
I just have to run this through a Safari emulator to see how it appears. Hopefully, this will finally render properly.
Barring anything truly bizarre, it looks like this should be stable (or at least working without serious problems) by the end of this weekend.
IMPORTANT: These plugins WERE NOT coded to fully work with OpenSEF. Although the tabs and such are displayed correctly, the links don't work as they should with SEF. I'm going to work on this for the next release.
I've spent a good bit of time this weekend going through the plugins and making changes where needed. Lots of bugfixes and code tweaks were made that hopefully fixed most of the problems.
Please remember that you need to unzip first and read the enclosed instructions.
So, please download, and let me know if there are any problems. Thanks.
Regards, Brat.
