Customizing SMF > Mambo Bridge Support
500 Error When Registering
Kindred:
Hi Marinesct,
some info I have been prompted to pass on,,,,
First: None of the bridges will work with SMF 2.0 RC3. Until there is a release with the integration hooks fixed, they just won't work. So upgrading to RC3 is a bad idea, regardless of security. Just having the forum integrated in Mambo and not accessible directly will help with most XSS vulnerabilities, anyway. All input is passed through Mambo and cleaned before SMF gets a chance at it, so there's a better chance at averting XSS attempts.
Second: It seems that your problem is likely to be database permissions, not files (as I first suggested). The error is a Mambo-generated error, not a PHP error. Keep in mind that on a local WAMP server, if the database user names are different, it won't actually perform the switch properly. (and sometimes, even if the database users LOOK the same, they are actually different on many of the non cpanel site panels)
Third: Make sure you have the SMF_header_include mambot published. This is very important.
Fourth: You are using bridge registration. That component was never updated for the 2.0 bridge, and should be deprecated by now. Most users choose SMF or Mambo registration, anyway. Mambo registration with the SMF_register mambot published is the most secure method.

Hmm... On the test site located on 1and1, I'm using SMF 2.0 RC1.2 where it's sharing the database with Mambo with the same username/pw. I have the SMF_header_include mambot published.
I verified the databases between both and they are both pointing to the correct database with the same username.
Mambo registration with the SMF_register mambot published, Im still getting the database error, however, I noticed in the user manager in Mambo that the test account did populate, but didnt send a confirmation email. The account isn't showing up in SMF either.
marinesct:
Should I just downgrade to SMF 1?
Kindred:
you can not downgrade and keep existing data.... there is no "reverse" script written for upgrade.php.
