My user database on the Joomla side has gotten a bit wacky..
When I open up User Manager in Joomla, and click on a registered user to edit, "admin" is always filled into the username field! No matter which user it is... Needless to say I didn't save or alter any login information.
Second, my primary acct on SMF (not "admin") has lost the link inside user manager, ie. where NAME is supposed to be, it is now BLANK. If I manually call it up in the URL by typing id=63 or by clicking the radio box, the fields are all blank, except username, which is filled in with admin
I am using the new SMF registration method, and one thing "out of the ordinary" that I did was delete a user in SMF. I don't think it auto-deleted inside Joomla, so I manually removed it.
After several tests, I only found one minor issue here. When a user edits his/her profile in SMF and the display name is not editable, a blank display name is synced in joomla user table. I will have this fixed in 1.0.2 and have a patch ready asap.
This is also something I had to deal also.. both my Super Administrator accounts (admin & ateul) did not work. When I looked at the tables (using phpMyAdmin) .. the Joomla-SMF Bridge has altered my two SuperA accounts changing the encripted password to this: mambohacks.com (the previous version used something like MAMBOHACK). Could someone explain how come? And also only the user was left as it was, others fields (name & email) blanks. I changed the password withe the encripted one from my mysql back-ups. If I had none I would have 2 Super Administrators with not working passwords.
I hope this helps improve the J-SMF Bridge, that except those I have just sayd it`s great.
Respekt, Cristian.

This is done when you sync users for SMF and Joomla (if user is not existing on the other). During sync, the system doesn't know the password because SMF and Joomla use different algorithm. A temporary password is syned in Joomla, but that doesn't mean anyone can login with that word. It has to be a decrypted equivalent of that word, which no one knows. Otherwise, anyone can just decrypt passwords.
Now during login, it will match the password from SMF, the real password is then synced to Joomla, or vice versa. Therefore, you should be able to login. Tell me if you really can't login because i know this is not an issue.
But anyhow, i will modify this to get the SMF enrypted password instead of putting a temp password. Just for the user's peace of mind.

Well not quite.. I just whanted to sync 11 new users, but both my Super Administrator accounts have been form the beggining there.. I used them for 2-3 days,and the change of password was when I had both users working on forum and joomla. I don`t know how it`s working..but as I sayd here..I was unable to login, and since has altered my accounts , in the email was also blank, that made useless my Forgot Password feature. I`m saying what happent just to help, belive me I have no intention to lie or something.. but this has to be checked since I believe feedback can only improve something, and I do like this Bridge.
Your post realy helped a lot. I will look into this syncing issue. But, one thing i'll do for the next release for sure is sync the encrypted passwords anyhow. I know when you see the temp password, it created an uneasy feeling. But you should not worry about it like I said on my reply.

I just had a new user sign up, and noticed in user manager, he also has a blank link under the "name" field. Not sure if he edited his profile, just a FYI...
edit : confirmed with him, indeed he edited his profile (added an avatar picture)

Logging in via the login module (not tried it via actual smf login) and looking at the forum profile information (not editing anything) then saving the profile is enough for me to loose both the name and email of a registered user. Username and passwords seem to be left intact.
Because JoomlaHacks runs SMF 1.1RC 1 and, I assume, Joomla-SMF component I have just accessed my profile account information here and saved it (without changing anything) to see what would happen. Of course I'm not an admin so cant check the backend to see it anything has changed (cowboy could you check) but I seem to be able to login fine and its keeping my name and password fine.
Maybe Joomlahack is using a more uptodate version of Joomla-SMF component? or maybe its not bridging between Joomla and SMF just running SMF standalone?
