well, you aren't being very descriptive, I thought you *only* installed the cb plugins. Are you telling me you installed the whole bridge when this happened or what?
The bridge has been installed and running for a over a week. I was having problems with SMF not syncing properly with CB. The avatars did not sync between the two, users would time out unexpectedly after only a couple of minutes, some could not even log in. I installed the CB profile plugin and than started getting an error when clicking on a users profile, same error that Peter was getting. I then applied the code fix that you posted:
Code: if (empty($user_id)) { to this Code: if (empty($user->smf_id)) {
At that point the error went away but I only had a blank white screen when selecting someones profile. I then went to log in to the backend as admin to uninstall the CB Profile Plugin but was not able to. At this point in time I am still not able to. It accepts the username and password and than reloads the login screen. If I type the password in incorrectly it say's incorrect password. But if I put in the correct username and password the screen the just refreshes back to the login screen. I've tried clearing the cache, deleting cookies, I cannot figure out how to get back in now and it's very frustrating.
I just re-installed and re-built our website a couple of weeks ago because it was hacked and being used to spoof pay-pal accounts, now users have come back and logged in with new accounts and I'm afraid I'm going to have to reload everything all over again. I don't know what to do!?
blank screens don't just happen. There must be information in your PHP error log. Simply turn php error logging to maximum and cause the failure, and the check the log. What does it say?
What I meant when I said it would be good to stop people from touching their SMF Profiles, I meant I would personally prefer them not to see all those options that SMF Profile has. The current plugin, of course, just opens up their SMF Profile and allows them at the bottom of it to change their signature, but it has all the other SMF options - Which to me are irrelevant and only cause confusion for the user.
The way I see it, SMF isn't what users are getting when using JSMF...They are getting Joomla with an awesome forum.
Yes, of course it is SMF and everyone knows that (by the credit link at the bottom crediting the forum to Simple Machines)...However, SMF "user" control/functionality should be disabled because they shouldn't be accessing SMF directly.
They should be controlling the way their profile looks, avatar looks, general posting aesthetics etc etc via Joomla/CB...
This has obviously been acheived beautifully by Wolverine's bridge...They login to Joomla, their avatar is displayed from their Joomla/CB profile - When users want to see someone's profile, they see the CB profile.
That to me is complete functionality and for me personally (as all this post is illustrating of course) that is perfect. The only missing feature for me is the signature administration directly through the CB profile...and having the forum stats (post count etc.) on the profile. You of course mostly excellently fixed that.
I just feel personally, to maintain cohesion...Having signature customisation through their profile (pref through their CB "Update your Profile"/Profile Admin) would complete it, completely disabling any visual/direct interaction with SMF's own, seperate profile configuration (of course its still happening...but it would be cool if it happens without the layman knowing it...so, the typical/average forum user is controlling all the most important aspects for them (aesthetics) through their official profile (CB).
This post was unnecessarly long, sorry about that!...But I thought I'd give it some time since you've both taken the time to address my posts more than once!
The numbering is really just a crude, down and dirty ordered list I threw in the SMF Posts plugin. Unfortunately, this is hard-coded in, and not elegant. I may be able to add some CSS options to it so you can set this in your Joomla template's CSS file. Let me know.
Ugh... the signature thing! I'd let that slip due to a crazy work week. If the plugins are stable enough at this point (let me know, Wolverine), I can go in and play with a signature plugin. Regarding not touching the user profile... that's kinda hard to do, when you want people to be able to alter signatures and so forth. Please explain exactly what you mean by not wanting members to access the forum profile at all.
Regards, Brat.

Good point, I'll make the change. However, these are language definitions and all you need to add to your CB language file is the following two definitions:
Looks like I spoke too soon. I am unable to change user Text's unless I go to the forum's direct URL.
Clicking on "Modify Profile" opens the correct SMF page within Joomla (unwrapped), but any changes made do not stick after the page redirects back to the profile.

This is a bug I just identified in the bridge, not the plugins. You should not be redirected back to the profile, if that happens none of the data was saved. This worked previously but with the addition of the itemid to the cb profile links(per user request) it is now broken. I just identified this problem and am working on a fix.

Turning on error logging would be a great idea, however, like I previously posted, I cannot log into the backend anymore!
Now I can't even log into the backend of my Joomla website. Everytime I enter the admin username and password it just loops back around to the login screen again. This really sucks!
I'm at the point where I'm going to have to scrap the whole site and start over again and not use SMF or this bridge, it has done nothing but cause problems and bring me to a screeching hault. And with the lack of support that I have received here, I plan on going back to Joomlaboard, doesn't have as many features but at least it's stable and it works.

... lack of support ... sorry for not providing enough *free* development and support to one person with a problem that no-one else is having. Enjoy your joomlaboard.
