Mambo-SMF Integration is a component that integrates Mambo and SMF forum flawlessly. Based on the original SMF-Bridge, major issues were fixed including several enhancements that makes the component simple and installation a little bit easy for plain users. Version 2.0 will hopefully make installation easier. Please note that this is not a release for SMF-Bridge. Although existing modules and mambots for SMF-Bridge should also work with Mambo-SMF Integration. Mambo-SMF Integration is intended more for SEF enabled websites.

In A Nutshell:

One component to handle all configurations.
Revised login module.
New SMF Package to modify SMF files.

NOTE: Existing SMF-Bridge users don't need to use this version. We did not work with the original author of SMF-Bridge so we cannot release it as SMF-Bridge. All the files were modified. The original author may or may not take this version. Please use as-is.

Changes From SMF-Bridge:

Simplified installation process.
Simplified single component.
Revised login module with added configuration options.
New SMF package to apply mods to SMF files.
Re-organized code.
Fixed major SEF issues.
Member can edit account profile reflecting to both Mambo and SMF.
Implementation of re-send activation link through SMF.
SMF and Mambo-SMF version syncing. Automatically detects the need to update. (1.1)

Installation:

Install SMF Forum on the same database as Mambo. Assign a different prefix for SMF (e.g. smf_).
Install com_mambo_smf_integration.zip component. Do not configure it yet until you have installed everything.
Install mod_mambo_smf_login module.
Install SMFMamboMod.zip using your SMF Package Manager.
Configure the component and module.
Edit index.php of your template file and insert the following lines at the beginning:

<?php
global $sc, $context;
if (!defined('SMF')) {
    if (file_exists($mosConfig_absolute_path."/administrator/components/com_smf/config.smf.php"))
        require_once ("administrator/components/com_smf/config.smf.php");
    if (file_exists($smf_path."/SSI.php"))
        require_once ($smf_path."/SSI.php");
}
$sc = &$context['session_id'];
$_SESSION['USER_AGENT'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
?>


Version History:

1.0 - Initial
1.1 - Re-implemented version syncing. The component automatically detects whether SMF and Mambo-SMF version not in sync.
