I am installing SMF 1.1.1 on an old site that uses Mambo 4.5.3. The owner does not want to switch to Joomla right now but his com_phpBB component was hacked. I have salvaged his users and posts
I am using:
Joomla SMF 2.0 Final Mambo 4.5.3 SMF 1.1.1
This from the installation page:
installed SMF Forum installed on the same database as Joomla. done [un-patch] Patch Joomla Source Files. done [un-patch] Patch SMF Source Files (Note: Unpatch before upgrading SMF or installing mod.) sync realnames sync usernames Optional: Synchronize Joomla and SMF users(username or real name).
The path is correct and the SMF data table prefix is smf_
I get this error when I try to sync the usernames:
Joomla/Mambo[0] / SMF[0] inserted Failed :Unknown column \\\'activation\\\' in \\\'field list\\\' SQL=SELECT name, username, password, email, registerDate, block, activation FROM mos_users LEFT JOIN smf_members ON smf_members.memberName = mos_users.username WHERE smf_members.memberName IS NULL ~~~ FROM::/home/webadmin/the-site.com/html/administrator/components/com_smf/admin.smf.class.php || syncusers || 488
That means that username has no realname associated with it. Find that user via db tool like phpmyadmin and add a name. Otherwise you cannot sync them from SMF to Joomla.
I get an error at the installation of the com_smf version 2 after a successfully install in joomla back-end, i get an error in the component install option. the error is saying that the SMF Table prefix is not smf_, now i have checked the database and the prefix for the data base is smf_, so what and where did i do wrong?
