Hello. I am new to SMF and very new to the Joomla-SMF bridge. I hope this is the right place for these questions. I bridged SMF and Joomla a few days ago. Functionally, things (mostly) work well. The bridging did introduce some CSS conflicts between Joomla and SMF, and I've been working through those slowly. What follows is a couple conflicts I have not been able to resolve. Any help is appreciated. (And, yes, I have searched the forums already for solutions; none found for these particular problems.)
Version Information: * Joomla! 1.0.12 Stable * SMF 1.1.2 * Joomla-SMF 2.0.2 * I do not know the php version running on my server * I am not using a CB plugin * I am not using Joomla registration
(1) Forum does not always use full width of content pane.
In the unbridged version of my site, all content uses the full width of the div that is sits in. In the bridged version, only some pages do. The screen that shows the messages within a forum does not take up the full width of the content section, for example. (Oddly, when I expand the quick reply box, the forum does expand to full width.) Likewise, the page listing the threads does not take up the full width.) I read a lot of other threads looking for 100% width. To be clear, I am *not* trying to make the forum take up 100% of my page -- e.g., replacing the sidebar. I just want the forum (and all of its subpages) to utilize the full width of the main content pane to the right of the sidebar. Any ideas on how to force the various pages to use the full width of the content pane?
(2) Quote button/link opens SMF outside of Joomla.
Since I wrapped my forum, the quote button/link (for replying to a message) links to an unbridged version of the forum -- that is, without being integrated into Joomla.
There are a few other pesky problems, but these are the two that are driving me crazy. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
goto the smf-joomla bridge configuration and click on cache. disable the cache there and review the page again. This is a common issue. The only problem remaining after that will be link colors will match the joomla site (which in most cases just helps the site match) But in other cases I do not know how to fix that part yet. (working on it on spare time) My oppinion on that issue is that the browser cache is saving the css for joomla as "mysite.com" so when the site is reloaded it does not look for the second css... only by disabling the cache or including the second css somehow in the first can you fix this i think... but don't quote me on that lol..
As for the wrapped problem. I am not sure about that... It is beyond my ability to fix or understand in php...
This problem is likely going to take you a little while to get an answer to here since the help staff (volunteers) are also the developers and patchers and bug fixers, etc. They don't currently have time to monitor the forum because they are short handed. They are looking for help but such professional volunteers re hard to come by i am sure.
I am studying the scource of the wrapper to find out if it works via Iframe or include or some other means... then i may be able to find the problem. but as a basic php user I doubt I will have the skill to fix much myself.
I am not the help (thank goodness) I am just lending a hand when I can untill I can get answers to my own questions... I hope this helped you somehow... goodluck

If all else fails. and all of mans technology has revealed no answer to your problem... poke it untill it gives up.
Hi, Daniel. Thanks for the help and advice. I disabled the caching and tried the site again. The quote bug (bringing up a non-bridged version of the forum) persists, unfortunately. I'm going to play around a bit more. Thanks again for taking the time. I very much appreciate it!
(2) Quote button/link opens unbridged version of SMF (i.e., unwrapped and outside of Joomla).

July 13 update:
After playing around a bit more, here's further background on the quoting problem. It occurs only on plain left-click. If I right-click and force the link to open in a new tab/window, the quote-reply appears bridged/wrapped, as it should. Maybe this will help identify the problem? Thanks!

I have same problem... someone can help us?
UPDATE If Fast reply option is disabled, quote button returns wrapped page. It's right. When Fast reply is enabled, quote button returns unwrapped page. It's wrong.

I know there's at least a few others experiencing this issue with quoting. To summarize again: Since I wrapped my forum, the quote button/link (for replying to a message) links to an unbridged version of the forum -- that is, without being integrated into the Joomla frame/window.

Sure enough, there is a solution in the manual. And sure enough, it works! Thank you so much for drawing my attention to the manual!
For everyone else, I thought I should quote the solution from the manual:
Quote
When I quote a topic the site becomes unwrapped. This occurs when quick reply is enabled but off by default or the quick reply field is collapsed. When this occurs there is core SMF functionality to redirect to a normal reply, but the redirect is done through javascript and because of that the site becomes unwrapped. To solve this problem, modify the following javascript file Themes/default/xml_topic.js. On line 7 you will find this code:
Changing smf_scripturl to jsmf_quoteurl will change the url to be a joomla url and then the site will not come unwrapped. Don’t forget to remove the question mark before “action” as well. Those of you with SEF enabled sites will find that the resulting page is shown without SEF. This is unavoidable at this point.
