yo mark, out of any bridge I tried for integration for joomla..gallery2, phpbb, even SMF's own "official" bridge for joomla, none have had the number of updates or has had the care of the developer in identifying and fixing bugs than joomlahacks has. not to mention it's all free.
joomlaboard is great integration with CB and Joomla, but when you look at the total lack of features and unfriendly customization it has, when compared to SMF, it's a no go for anyone that wants a viable forum.
so have some patience and work through it instead of expecting perfection.

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!?
Being unable to log into your admin backend has very little chance to be related to the JSMF bridge. If you cant uninstall CB normally, simply go to your FTP, remove the com_comprofiler both in the administrator/components and components folder, and remove any database table with "comprofiler" in it. You can also do that with JSMF, but make sure you reinstalled the same JSMF version, or know what you're doing with the files that JSMF modified and replace them with the original backups.
Also, make sure when you go to your site's admin backend, enter your site's url with the "www." prefix (if that's what you specify as your live site in your config, or vice versa).
If you still cant enter the backend, download the full installation copy of the joomla version you're using, unzip it into a folder, and overwrite the folder administrator/includes of your site with the one you downloaded, together with index.php and index2.php.
If all fails, then i guess the simplest way is to restart everything, but theelite is correct in pointing out that SMF is by far the best forum (it is almost as capable as vbulletin, and it's free), and that the bridge here at joomlahacks is the best bridge for joomla and smf. In 90% of the cases whereby things dont work, the software is rarely the problem.

is it normal that when user A is checking CB profile of user B in "Forum Posts" tab, he sees the topics and boards that user B is subscribed to? ShouldnŽt that be private information?

Replace your comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_smfposts/smf_posts.php with this uploaded file.
Note: only super admin and owner can see subscribed topics/boards.

Thank you p9939068...is this a mod? in that case, will Wolverine use it or heŽll release a different file version with his own modification?
I just want to make sure it doesnŽt get difficult to follow the update in the future ;-)
Cheers, NiCo
When a future version from Wolverine is available, you can just uninstall the old plugin and install the new one. All i did was add a condition statement that shows the subscription part only to owner and admin

Sorry for the silence - I've had this bug up my butt to modify Mamblog and that's what I've been up to for anyone who cares to know.
That said, I read that the plugins are stable. At this point, they belong to Joomlahacks, but I can play with features and such. Has the Topic Subscriptions code been modified (only authorized forum staff ant the subscription owner should really see these)? Also, has anyone done the CSS improvements to the posts plugin? And yeah, the poor neglected Signature plugin (I'm sorry - again, I blame this on the Mamblog stuff I've had to handle )...
Anyway, I just need to get up to speed as to where things are currently before I jump back in. Thanks!
