It is not a bug, but because there are so many things interacting here I do not redirect unless there is nothing else set for a redirect url. If something is set that is where the bridge will redirect you to. It says as much in the user guide and the help in configuration. For the mod_smf_login this will be improved with the next build. For the other modules it is up to them to set the correct data for the redirects.
Either I don't understand something or you. Please - let me understand/clear your understanding: When I'm logging in from CB login module - after successful login I stay wherever I was. At the same time after successful login from SMF - the bridge redirects me to the main page. My question: where can I change the SMF redirection to "do not redirect me anywhere, just stay where you are"? The CB login module works as I want it to work (redirection URL is empty). Why do you write that "I do not redirect unless there is nothing else set for a redirect url. If something is set that is where the bridge will redirect you to". So where is the bridge checking the redirection URL if it is not CB?
Don't know why i got so much problems syncing users between joomla and smf but after changing all the collations of my database by hand there is again the error of an unknown column... But this time in joomla!
Joomla/Mambo[0] / SMF[0] inserted Failed :Unknown column \\\'activation\\\' in \\\'field list\\\' SQL=SELECT name, username, password, email, registerDate, block, activation FROM jos1011_users LEFT J
There's a funny error in my forum I could not find any info about:
For some strange reason, duplicate user accounts are created on SMF. (By "duplicate" I mean, they match the same Joomla user, and, as I've seen on the DB, they have same username but somehow password happens to be stored on db unencrypted.
I contacted a user whose account was duplicated, he told me he didn't change anything on his profile.
Something that I suspects is important is that duplicated usernames are in greek characters (my site uses utf-8 everywhere).
First of all thanks for all the great work on the component.
I have a problem with quoting (is that how you spell it?) When I quote the normal way the reply window is outside joomla. If I qoute when the quick reply is open, everything works great. the site is http:www.codstats.nl Can provide you with an login if needed. This was in the first beta and I upgraded to RC1 but that didn't make any difference.

The SMF css must be included before the Joomla or vice versa and it was the other way with the old version. The real problem is that you have the same definition in both files, and you need to merge them in order to get the same appearance.
I've also a CSS problem ...please can anybody explain me what wolverine meant above? I don't understand what to do

thanx a lot
Sure thing! What Wolverine meant in detail is that you need to open the CSS file associated with your desired SMF theme, and then copy and paste the entire contents of that file into your Joomla template's template_css.css file.
I'd strongly recommend that you append SMF's CSS at the end of the Joomla template CSS file. Often times (in fact, every time )SMF's CSS file contains CSS codes controlling links, paragraphs, etc. - yep, just like Joomla. That means you're gonna have duplicate CSS codes, and you'll need to edit the "merged" template_css.css (Joomla CSS) file accordingly. There is a bit of "trial and error" to the whole thing to get the look you want, but it's not heinous.
I'm dealing with all this now for my current projects, so don't hesitate to ask more questions as needed.
Regards, Brat.

When a new user creates a account on my site, their forum names are their real names and not their usernames. I tried changing the option in the bridge to sync by usernames but it does not work. Any idea's?
What for is it? It causes that after logging in instead of redirection to the same page on which the user was during logging in - he is redirected to main page because the $setLocation variable is always cleared!
Isn't it a bug?

No, it is not a bug, it does not clear any valid url. If you redirected to a url with your password in it it would not be the page you logged in from. In addition, that url with your password would get stored to your history which is obviously a security problem.
That piece of code does not *always* clear setLocation.
The redirect works like this. First it checks if your login module has a static location set for login or logout. Next it checks if a variable named return was passed by the form. This is the normal joomla method for returning a member to the location they logged in from. Finally, if neither of those two are set then we fall back to the bridge defaults of login and logout redirects.
I will take another look. Which login form are you having a problem with?
I'm using CB login module, but the problem is with logging in from SMF. Just a little description of test scenario that I can do on my page: 1. I'm inside the forum, then I'm logging in from SMF -> and I'm redirected to main page, variable $setLocation is '' 2. I'm inside the forum, then I'm logging in from CB -> I stay where I was, variable $setLocation is set to the right page/thread 3. I commented the code I wrote you previously & I'm inside the forum, then I'm logging in from SMF -> I'm still in the forum, variable $setLocation is set to the right page/thread
