Hi Wolverine, You are the master. I just schooled myself in the past month or so with joomla and I've been using phpbb since November. I didn't realize all these great new apps existed, web 2.0 is really coming along... My background is in programming.
I'm in the process of converting my seasonal jonesbeach.com (crap frontpage) site to joomla with smf and cb but for it to go smoothly I'm testing the entire suite / bridge on robertmoses.com and robertmoses.org
I'm not sure how unique my install is but I just installed all the latest joomla / smf / cb bridge in the following fashion: joomla/cb on robertmoses.com and SMF on robertmoses.org - I want to be able to have the forum as a separate site for convienence and I Thought that would be cool.
It seems to be working OK (bridged and using separate domains) but the one big problem is the login and registration through "direct" SMF domain is not syncing with my joomla/cb domain. I thought this was a 2 way street ? I figured out what's happening, when you select the forum link through Joomla, which probably most people do, it restructures the SMF forum so it specifically uses CB. When you hit the forum directly, without going through joomla, it reverts back to the default "stock" SMF login and registration as if there was no integration at all. Basically, it appears the actual SMF site was never modified to link with joomla, only the other way around.
Is there an easy way to fix this ? Worst comes to Worst I'll just install the forum on the same domain (probably the way it was intended) and just forward the other domain.
any help is greatly appreciated.
Best, Mike

I am still in the process of migrating a communtity with 12000 members from Nuke to Joomla! 1.0.12 / CB 1.0.2 / SMF 1.1.2
At this stage my users and the forum threads have been migrated successfully in SMF, but Joomla!/CB are still pretty much vanilla, no bridge installed.
So if your are still looking for testers, I am happy to give it a try...
pm me your email address, I'd love the input on a user base like yours!
Well, I'm about to install this whole thing (joomla/cb/smf) - the recommend way, with smf a sub-directory of joomla, on my site jonesbeach.com JonesBeach.com is a seasonal site that gets over a million hits in the next 3 months. I am trying to extend the season with the community, gallery and other things that will make the site successfull all year long.
I guess indirectly I will be testing CB by default since that is what I will be using. Any problems I will report to this thread.
It is more are you willing to help with testing. So there can be a better integration. Correct me if I’m wrong but we are not there to correct problems with your website.
Thanks for the stipid advice I really thought it was st$p$d when I read it
The point is this post is started for Testers. If you want Support for back upping your site or other kind off support. You can ask this on the Right sections on the Support forums.
Please lets go On Topic. And that is… Joomlahacks Needs some Testers for the new version. So this Bridge can be better and better.
oh god! dude wow you make me so sad when reading what you actually think! I know.. dude... I know... get over it... I know its the FORUM I test not the frikin site oh crap... !
Ok, ok, not really helping. Let's just get back on topic, Livebox is tons of help to me and he is just trying to help in this instance as well. No harm no foul, let's all play nice.
maybe i misunderstood here something, but wasn't it intended to show the fields, that are synced now to cb (location / skype / gender and so on), in the forum on every post?
The information is shown in cb but i can't see it in the forum.
