MINOR issues I am having with the current JSMF (or maybe its Joomla) are as follows. fixes or advice would be most appreciated.
GOOGLE MEMBER MAP - I have google member map v0.55 installed and when viewing it unwrapped (http://<mydomain>/<SMF folder>/index.php?action=googlemap) the pins, sidebar and the legend all appear but when viewing it wrapped (http://<mydomain>/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=303&action=googlemap), ie. using the bridge, I get the map but no pins and an empty sidebar.
DISAPPEARING MENU OPTIONS - If I have been viewing the site previously and go elsewhere or close browser and then come back, the login module (SMF login) shows me as logged in but the joomla menu shows only those items available to guests. When I click on any of the links (eg click HOME or FORUM) I go to the relevant page and my full menu appears. Something somewhere is not telling joomla I am logged in ??
Basically, in a nutshell, the JSMF login is reading the SMF variables that get set when SMF identifies you as a user that is logged in. So if for some strange reason these variables haven't been set yet, this would occur. Or at least that is what I am guessing. I will try to work up a fix.
SMF MESSAGES OR UDDEIM ? - I have set the site to use UDDEIM for messaging and the links in the forum or on the tab list all get redirected to UDDEIM. However, when a user is modifying their profile the PERSONAL MESSAGE OPTIONS still point to SMF messaging.
working on this one as I write this... will be in RC1.
USER SYNCHRONISING - Mentioned this one before but as I am adding all my little problems in one place, thought I would add it again. When accessing forum admin it breaks out of the wrapped mode and into unwrapped mode and therefore out of the bridge. If I make adjustments to the member list the sync with joomla doesnt work and I have ended up having to try and make sure i delete users from both separately and never knowing if it has worked. On the odd occasion that the admin section DOES load in wrapped mode, when clicking on the activation tab to look at new members and decide whether to email them, delete them, approve them etc, I get a message that says your account has been activated and it goes back to forum index.
I found a hacked up way to make the login modules work, but it's not an acceptable solution because the user is left on an empty page afterwards!
But still, makes me think I'm on the track to finding the problem.
Here is the code that makes my login work -
changing line 1907 in the smf.class.php file - DON'T DO THIS AS A FIX as this is a total HACK just to see what the problem is!
This problem has popped up from time to time and I have not been able to replicate it. I have taken measures to solve it but since I am coding blind so to speak it still rears its ugly head. Can you post all you software versions including MySQL, Apache(IIS?), and PHP?
Sure - I hope to help you solve this, tonight in fact if possible!
Mysql: 4.1.21-standard PHP Version: 4.4.4 Web Server: Apache/1.3.37 Joomla! 1.0.11 Stable User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Joomla using
SEF Advance SMF 1.1 RC 1.3 Bridge 2.0 Beta 3
I don't know what is causing it, and have looked at the problem for several months, so no, it won't be solved tonight. As a workaround you can set a login or logout URL in JSMF login or in CB login modules. This will keep you from getting the blank screen. Pm me your email address as well, I do have one idea based on my reading of your posts that I'd like to try.

Hi all....
First of all - thx for the "heart" work on the bridge, mods and plugs....It really works fantastic !!!! 3 powerful systems (Joomla/CB/SMF) work well together to build one big web app. THANK YOU!
Since I patched the index.php my german special characters are no longer displayed correctly in the modules. Content is still fine and SMF part is roger, too.
How can this be related (if) and any ideas on how to solve it ?
Possible the problem with the "blank screen" is only firefox related?
I don't know exactly, but with IE I can login and logout without any troubles.
Interesting issue.
Maybe firefox has problems with the redirect?
Part of the issue is the URL that uses the _GET method to pass the username and password. This url should never make it to the history, because I simply use it to call SMF's login process. Then as the login process exits we call another of our functions to set a real redirect url and then call header(location: redirect). Because of this the url with the _GETs should never be in the history. That is the catch though.
I changed the redirect functionality last night and removed the header(Refresh: 0blah blah) completely in favor of simply header(Location: redirecturl). It is working however I didn't get a response back from stacey if it is working for her.

Thx André
My only guess is the when we include SMF's SSI(that is hte main reason for the J! index patch) it does something that is unintended. Can you provide some more detail, possibly even screenshots of a before the patch and after so I have a clear idea what we are talking about? Thx
Yes - Google MemberMap is a mod that can be downloaded from the Simple Machines site and although it is not advertised as being 1.3 compatible, it does install if you amend the file names for the xml. It works in unwrapped mode but doesnt when wrapped - exactly the same behaviour as it displayed with the previous version of the bridge. Mod location : http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=241
I also have another mod installed called 'IGNORE' that allows users to ignore other users. It works great and doesnt cause me any problems except when users are modifying their profile - when they go to 'ignore user options' it breaks out of the wrapper - any ideas how to prevent this ? Mod location : http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=185

The account activated message should have only occurred in 1.1.X versions of the bridge.
My mistake - the error is not appearing on my test site which is using V2 but is appearing on my live site which is still using V1.1 - can live with it until I upgrade on live site.

the best way for me to make sure these work is for you to give me user access to your site so I can see them breaking. You can pm me this information if you like.
