Joomla-SMFThis article is for those new to Joomla and SMF. If you already have either Joomla or SMF installed, just install the other software on the same database. Remember if you use the Fantastico installer from CPANEL, it installs the software on seperate database. Don't use Fantastico, you need to do the setup and configuration manually.


STEP 1: Install Joomla.

Install Joomla


STEP 2: Install SMF on the same database as Joomla.

Install SMF


STEP 3: Install Joomla-SMF Forum.
  • Extract the JoomlaSMFForum_x.x.x.zip package.
  • The package contains:
    * com_joomla_smf_forum_x.x.x.zip (the main component)
    * mod_smf_login_1.1.zip (login module)
    * mod_smf_recent_topics.zip (recent topic module)
  • From Joomla, click "Installers", then "Component" menu
  • Browse the location of the component package "com_joomla_smf_forum_x.x.x.zip"
  • Then click install.


STEP 4: Configure the Joomla-SMF Forum component.

Joomla-SMF Configuration


The complete configuration looks like the figure below.
NOTE: Installation Checklist must be marked "done" or "installed".

Joomla SMF Index Patch : DocMood : http://www.pristinepakistan.com
I installed the zip, then realised i had to have the smf database in the same databse as joomla so i exported and imported in MySQL. Joomla works fine. I then continued withthe install bu the next option which says install patch doesn't say done and i don't know how to do it.

Any assistance please.

Fixed the index.php problem : DocMood : http://www.pristinepakistan.com
Now i've got it all running and synchronised the usernames (tried the realnames aswell) but I can't get ANY user to sign on to the SMF whilst within Joomla (index.php?com_smf etc etc) If I access the forum directly as before i can sign in.

A primer might have been nice : Islamabad Property : http://www.pristinepakistan.com
What a nightmare. OK so you have to choose either Joomla login and registration (enable the module in Joomla) OR the SMF module. I disabled the Joomla one and am just using the SMF one now. When i need to send a mass mail or something, I go to the SMF component install and synch the users. It's not really integrated, just a simple db link. A primer telling us what to expect might have been helpful.

Installed the smf component in joomla 1.0.x and when I go to select configure I get a white screen. Attempted to uninstall and reinstall with no success. Not a mem issue as far as I can tell.
